At Methodist, we recognize vaccine hesitancy is real--and so does Bishop T.D. Jakes. That's why he and his wife came to Methodist to get their COVID-19 vaccines--in a very public way! Bishop Jakes even shared his experience on national television and hosted a forum on his YouTube channel featuring Dr. Anthony Fauci and his personal physician Jill Waggoner, MD, who is on the medical staff at Methodist Charlton.
