I left to work for their hospital in Dallas in late 1973 but did work under the new regime for a time. How the hospital evolved into Heartland Regional Medical Center I cannot answer as I was in Texas by that time. The hospital closed for several reasons, one of which was there were not enough Sisters to man all the hospitals owned by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul.
