A dedicated committee of our local Children's Miracle Network (CMN) partners recently gathered to help determine how more than $380,000 raised in 2025 will support pediatric equipment, services and programs across our health system. ❤️ Teams from across our hospitals submitted funding requests and shared presentations, giving partners a firsthand look at the meaningful impact that CMN funding has on children and families throughout Southeast Texas. Because of the incredible support of our community, we are able to provide hope, healing and life-saving care to our youngest patients. Together, we’re making big change for all kids.

When it comes to a stroke, there are two kinds, says Stroke Coordinator Cord Tucker. The most common is an ischemic stroke, which happens when a blockage stops blood flow to brain tissue, while a hemorrhagic stroke occurs when bleeding creates pressure and damages the brain. Cord adds that some patients experience a transient ischemic attack or "mini stroke," and the warning signs can be recognized using B.E.F.A.S.T. While some strokes can be genetic, others involve modifiable risk factors like high cholesterol and high blood pressure that can be influenced through daily habits such as diet, exercise, and taking medications as prescribed. Since an average of 1.9 million brain cells are lost every minute during a stroke, Cord emphasizes the importance of seeking immediate medical care when noticing any symptoms.

In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are celebrating saints like Saint Magdalene of Nagasaki. Born near Nagasaki, Japan, Magdalene endured the loss of her family to martyrdom, yet her faith only deepened. Magdalene taught catechism, sought alms for the poor, visited the sick and encouraged fellow Christians during intense persecution. After several spiritual leaders were martyred, she continued their mission and eventually surrendered herself to authorities in 1634 to strengthen the courage of others. She endured torture for 13 days before her martyrdom. Canonized in 1987, Saint Magdalene remains a powerful witness of courage, solidarity and unwavering love for Christ.

According to Trauma Director Kathy Rodgers, the most common cause of trauma is not vehicle crashes or gunshot wounds, but ground-level falls in the elderly. Loose rugs and slippery house shoes pose significant danger, but simple changes like rubber-soled shoes and grab bars in bathrooms can reduce risk. The leading cause of death in trauma patients is hemorrhage. Venous hemorrhaging involves darker and slower blood, often resulting from cuts such as accidentally slicing a hand, whereas arterial bleeding, which may occur after a fall or from going through glass, is characterized by spurting blood and can become fatal more quickly, especially for those on blood thinners. For venous bleeding, Kathy recommends packing it with gauze or a shirt, while arterial bleeding requires a tourniquet or, if one is not available, a belt or tie.

Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month holds special meaning across our health system. For Mary Dagus, RN, it’s a time to reflect on how her Filipino heritage shapes her approach to patient care and connection. “My Filipino heritage taught me that caring is deeply personal. I was raised to treat others with compassion, respect and a strong sense of family,” Mary shares. “In my work, I carry that by caring for patients as if they were my own loved ones, being present, patient and attentive so they feel seen, heard and supported. As a member of the AANHPI community, I bring empathy, cultural sensitivity and a deep appreciation for the heart behind healing.”

According to Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Leonard Thome, blood clots often form in the large, deep veins of the lower legs, where slower blood flow can cause swelling, redness, or tightness in the calf. The greatest danger occurs when these clots break free and travel to the lungs, resulting in a pulmonary embolism that can be life-threatening.
Symptoms are not always obvious, warns Dr. Thome, and some people may mistake them for aches and pains, or have no warning signs at all. Risk factors include prolonged immobility, such as long travel, sedentary lifestyles, or hospital stays with leg trauma or broken bones.
He encourages staying active by walking and stretching regularly to help keep blood circulating and reduce risk. When caught early, blood clots can be treated with blood thinners to help prevent serious complications.

When it comes to weight loss and diabetes, Registered Clinical Dietitian Educator Ariel Mitchael says many people are unsure when, how, or what to eat, which can lead to skipped meals and make blood sugar control and weight loss more difficult. Misinformation and fad diets promising quick results can also carry long-term health consequences. Fortunately, Ariel is accredited through the American Diabetes Association and is accepting participants seeking medical nutrition therapy and diabetes self-management with a referral.

In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are celebrating saints like Saint Lorenzo Ruiz. Born in Manila to a Chinese father and Filipino mother, Lorenzo lived an ordinary life of faith as a husband and father. His life changed abruptly when he was accused of murder and sought refuge with Dominican missionaries traveling to Japan. Arriving amid persecution, Lorenzo remained with the missionaries, knowing the danger ahead. He was arrested in Nagasaki and endured severe torture, yet his faith strengthened in the face of suffering. Canonized in 1987 as the first Filipino saint, his life reflects courage, faith and unwavering trust in Christ.
