Matt Murray, MD
As a physician and NTREC Board Chairman, I expect NTREC to be physician-centric and keenly focused on quality of care. Our success is cultivated with each physician we serve who selects, implements and uses an EMR to achieve desired quality goals.
Ken Haygood, MD
Dr. Haygood practices family medicine in his clinic in Tyler and attends the area's three main hospitals. His advocacy for the development of a well integrated health information infrastructure for the region over the last decade is exampled his adoption of a robust EMR system in his own clinic, which continues to integrate data services from regional labs, hospitals, imaging centers, and other physicians.
