BUILDING HEALTHY COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS

---

Hello and welcome! I’m Patrick, and my journey in the arts has spanned over 20 years in the Milwaukee, WI area. I also run a part-time art installation business, which since 1990 has taken me into a wide variety of spaces—hospitals, clinics, restaurants, corporate offices, and residences. In 2009, I moved to East Texas to work alongside my father, who had been building homes here since the '80s. Despite my background in art and construction, I’ve always had a deep passion for media and publishing.

In 2012, I launched STROLL, a monthly publication for the Hollytree community in Tyler, Texas, which I still own and operate today. Through STROLL, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many incredible residents and business owners across East Texas, and it ignited a new passion for publishing. I love connecting with people, hearing their stories, and sharing the inspiring work they’re doing in our community.

Over the years of installing art in hospitals and clinics, I’ve gained a unique insight into the lives of medical professionals. I’ve seen firsthand how physicians, despite their expertise and dedication, often operate in isolation. From long days filled with patient care and mountains of paperwork to the constant demands of staff and sales reps, it’s no wonder doctors and healthcare leaders struggle to find the time to connect with one another.

That’s where Medical Professionals Tyler (MP Tyler) comes in. The medical community in Tyler is expanding rapidly, yet despite its impressive growth, the sense of “community” within this field remains fragmented. Many healthcare professionals tend to recruit from within their own networks, making it challenging to reach new and emerging talent or build broader connections across disciplines. This is where businesses that serve the medical community have a unique opportunity to thrive.

By supporting MP Tyler, these businesses can engage directly with the physicians, specialists, and healthcare executives who are shaping the future of healthcare in our region. MP Tyler offers a platform for connecting these professionals in meaningful ways, helping to foster collaboration, share industry insights, and build relationships that ultimately improve the quality of care and community health.

Our vision is to create a more connected, informed, and celebrated healthcare community, one that not only connects medical professionals to each other but also supports the businesses that serve and support them. As a result, we can help strengthen the entire medical ecosystem here in Tyler.

I’m excited to highlight the innovators, the movers and shakers, and the leaders who are making a lasting impact in our medical community. I’m deeply grateful for the businesses and partners that support this endeavor and make it possible to bring these professionals together.

Medical Professionals Tyler is here to build relationships, break down silos, and make our community stronger. Whether you’re a physician, a healthcare leader, or a business that serves the medical industry, I invite you to join us in making a difference. Let’s keep the conversation going and work together to build a more connected, thriving healthcare community.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I look forward to hearing from you and exploring how we can continue to support and grow this important network.
