The Harris County Medical Society (HCMS) is proud to nominate Kimberly E. Monday, MD, as a candidate for the Texas Medical Association Board of Trustees.
Dr. Monday is board certified in neurology, clinical neurophysiology, and sleep medicine and is the co-founder of the Houston Neurological Institute.
Through her strong commitment to advocacy she has charted a career path that typifies what it means to be a physician leader. Only seven years after starting her practice she was elected president of her HCMS local branch society. She went on to win election to the HCMS Board of Medical Legislation, which she chaired in 2009. Two years later she was elected to the HCMS Executive Board and was elected president of the society in 2015.
An active member of TMA since 1997, Dr. Monday has served on the TMA Council on Socioeconomics and currently on the TMA Council on Legislation and the Prior Authorization Task Force.
In her effort to understand and positively affect the changing health care environment, Dr. Monday also accepted leadership positions outside of organized medicine. She chaired the bioethics and clinical ethics committees of three different Houston hospitals. She also currently serves on Memorial Hermann Physician Network Board of Directors.
Her leadership extends also to the community at large. Dr. Monday currently serves as the vice chair of the Harris Health Care System Board of Trustees.
Dr. Monday’s work has broadened her understanding of the issues that affect physicians and patients to include the context of the entire health care system. She can draw on her personal experience with the burdens placed upon physicians by bureaucrats. Her knowledge of the myriad socioeconomic and legislative topics with which she has worked over the last 15 years also gives her an understanding of the problems of both urban and rural physicians. But Dr. Monday also brings a deep understanding of the workings of hospitals – from large systems to small community hospitals. Finally, she can relate all these issues in the context of the medical safety net provided by a county hospital district that cares for the indigent.
Dr. Monday is ideally suited for the TMA Board of Trustees. She has immersed herself in the issues that are critically important to physicians and has demonstrated a commitment to lead that will serve TMA well.
