Sharyland ISD’s Bentsen Elementary will soon have its own wildlife garden and certified junior master gardeners on campus.

The Foundation at Mission Regional Medical Center (MRMC) board recently voted to donate $500,000 to the hospital for the new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment that is currently being installed at the hospital. Earlier this year, the MRMC Auxiliary board donated $70,000 to help fund the $1.4 million dollar machine.
“We are blessed to have an active and dedicated Auxiliary and Foundation working to help offset the cost of this cutting edge imaging technology at Mission Regional Medical Center,” said Javier Iruegas, MRMC CEO. “The new MRI allows physicians to detect many conditions in earlier stages, greatly optimizing diagnoses, treatment, and patient outcomes.”
