Healthcare Heroes Honored by Hyde Park Bar & Grill
AUSTIN― Dr. Steven Crow and Dr. Louis Appel of People’s Community Clinic (PCC) in Austin were recognized last week as Hyde Park Bar & Grill’s 2011 “Healthcare Heroes,” winning their facility close to $1,000 in the process.
This past May, Hyde Park Bar & Grill sought to highlight outstanding community service from health and healing professionals in the Austin area by launching an online contest for patrons to nominate their most admired medical workers. As an additional token of the restaurant’s appreciation, anyone wearing scrubs on Mondays in June received a generous discount on their meal at both Hyde Park Bar & Grill locations.

“We were very excited to partner with Hyde Park Bar & Grill on this event and hope to do it again next year,” said Margaret Henkels, Director of Development at People’s Community Clinic.
Dr. Steven Crow has worked and volunteered his time at PCC since he was a young medical student at the University of Texas, serving his patients with a great sense of humanity. When he’s not there, Dr. Crow works at CommUnityCare David Powell Health Center which specializes in the care and treatment of patients with HIV and AIDS. He is extremely active in the community and has a reputation as a very giving individual.
PCC Chief Medical Officer and Director of Pediatrics Dr. Louis Appel has devoted his life to providing primary health care to some of our community’s most underprivileged and vulnerable children with dignity and compassion, consistently forming close relationships with his young patients and their loved ones. His many dedicated years to PCC reflect great humility and a deep commitment to the community.
For each vote cast, Hyde Park Bar & Grill pledged a one dollar donation to People’s Community Clinic. Bick Brown, owner of the family establishment, presented the two Healthcare Heroes’ awards and a check donation to the clinic on July 14, 2011.
“Hyde Park Bar & Grill is committed to the Austin community and it’s our privilege to honor People’s Community Clinic. We definitely want to do this again,” said Mr. Brown.
