If you were trying to put together a list of the people who know best how to get around William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, then Helen Foreman would likely be high on the assembled collection of names.

Ms. Foreman has been taking special care of patients since she started at St. Paul University Hospital some 40 years ago.

She is now the Lead Bed Control Coordinator for Clements University Hospital, the person in charge of assigning rooms and keeping track of every patient who checks in and out of the newest clinical facility at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Ms. Foreman is proud of the relationships she has built with her co-workers, the staffs in various clinicians’ offices, and other departments in the hospital. She says the fact that she “loves helping people” is one key to success, whether that be applied on a daily basis or to an entire career.

Outside the hospital, she enjoys attending Mt. Zion Church of God In Christ, where she also serves as Public Relations Coordinator and is a Pastor’s Assistant, helping out in the Special Event Department, Banquet and Anniversary Department, and anywhere else she can be of help.  

She enjoys traveling and spending time with her siblings and other family members, including her son, Ken, granddaughters, Briana and Kiana, goddaughter, Gabrielle, and her special great-nephews, Kor’Dae,  Kharami, and Marquin, her beautiful niece, Daisy, and very special friend, Leonard.

“We have great, fun times together,” she says.
