Freezing temperatures are moving into the area, and will be here through Friday. Protect your property, pipes, plants and pets during these chilly days and nights. And help keep streets free of ice by turning off your automated outdoor sprinkler systems: bit.ly/3L3vmBM
Protect Your Pipes Outside Wrap exposed exterior pipes and faucets with foam insulation or newspaper. Remove garden hoses from outside faucets. Turn off your outdoor irrigation system and only run it manually when needed.

Protect Your Pipes Inside Open cabinet doors under sinks to expose pipes to heat within the house. Allow hot and cold water to slowly drip from inside faucets. If pipes become frozen, let them thaw naturally. Never try to thaw pipes using hair dryers or other forms of heat!

In 2022, I convened a coalition comprised of our major local hospital system leaders, health care providers, and philanthropic partners who are committed to improving maternal and infant health in our city. Fort Worth took an important step last week, launching one solution to address the maternal and infant health crisis our city is facing. The new initiative — called TeamBirth — is intended to improve communication and prioritize shared decision making to keep the mother and her support system completely informed from the time she enters the hospital to deliver her child until they are discharged after birth. The initiative is a partnership between @UWTarrant and seven hospitals within @JPS_Health, @texashealth, and @bswhealth_DFW. I’m eternally grateful to the hospitals, doctors, nurses, doulas, administrators, and critical partners who came together to prioritize this issue. Learn more here: bit.ly/fw-team-birth-initiat…
