FROM THE PUBLISHER COLLIN COUNTY PRESIDENT & CEO Sam Houston VICE PRESIDENT & CFO Spring Houston REPAIR WORK W hen it rains, it pours. And while we rejoice in some much needed moisture, the hail this precipitation’s been “gifting” the area is not particularly welcome. Our part of Texas has been pummeled with hail and the ensuing damage is going to take many months to repair. In this issue we’re featuring a dynamic doctor who repairs damaged spines and necks with superior operative techniques using a wide array of the most state-of-the-art tools and techniques––from conservative physical therapy and injection therapy—to advanced pain management, as well as surgical inter- vention. What’s unique about Dr. Stephen Courtney is that this decorated surgeon began his career from the ground up. While a teen, he spent summers work- ing as a hospital orderly to learn the ropes of the hospital environment. Now he’s not only treating patients and developing spinal products, he’s a hospital owner. Dr. Courtney recently added another accomplishment to the lengthy list when he opened Eminent Medical Center. An in-network specialty hospi- tal focusing on patient care, Eminent focuses on utilizing minimally invasive techniques and offers the latest in spine robotics. Learn more about this inno- vative hospital and how Dr. Courtney is bringing relief to patients in pain in the physician feature inside. We’re featuring another master of his craft. In the case of actor Leonardo Di- Caprio, he’s made his mark in diverse films highlighting his deft skills in front of the camera. It’s hard to believe DiCaprio is now 44 years old. Equal parts fabled Dorian Gray and Jay Gatsby, the perennial bachelor was named after Leonardo Da Vinci. DiCaprio has done his namesake proud––both on and off screen. In recent years, DiCaprio has turned his sights on bringing attention to the health of our planet. It’s an issue dear to DiCaprio’s heart. Not only has he given his time and resources to environmental causes, he also devoted his Oscar winning speech to the topic. Read how he’s making a difference and get an inside look at his latest role starring opposite Brad Pitt in this summer’s most anticipated movie, Upon a Time in Hollywood. If our recent oddball weather is any indication, the most comfortable place this summer might be safely ensconced in a movie theater. See you there.
