Community Healthcare of Texas (CHOT) is proud to announce that Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Capper has been awarded the 2025 Gold-Headed Cane Award by the Tarrant County Medical Society (TCMS).

The prestigious Gold-Headed Cane, established in 1951, is presented annually to a physician who exemplifies the highest standards of medical excellence, integrity, and compassionate care. Recipients are nominated and selected by their physician peers within TCMS, making it one of the most respected honors in the local medical community.

Joined by his colleagues from CHOT, Dr. Capper was recognized at a TCMS reception on December 4 at the Ashton Depot in Fort Worth.
