Congratulations to the Living Our Values "Stewardship" award recipient, Abigail McMahon! Abigail recognizes her strength in clinical leadership and quality improvement and uses it every day to elevate her entire team. As a charge nurse on our high-acuity stroke unit, she leads every shift with a safety huddle to align the team around patient safety goals. Rather than simply pointing out fallouts, Abigail takes a hands-on approach—coaching team members in real time, implementing immediate corrective actions, and reinforcing best practices. Her ability to balance clinical excellence with heartfelt care makes her an extraordinary example of stewardship in action.

Congratulations to Kim Schultz, R.N., our newest DAISY Award recipient. Kim is celebrated for an act of kindness to a patient in need. Her nominator shared, “Kim was caring for a gentleman who frequently visits the ER. During their conversation, he mentioned his upcoming birthday and what he planned to do. Kim noticed that his shoes were worn and falling apart, so she took it upon herself to purchase him a new pair along with a birthday card signed by the staff. Her thoughtful gesture met both the social and physical needs of this patient and truly exemplifies what it means to provide compassionate care.”

For 2–4 minutes, Jerry Rinker, nicknamed "Scary Jerry," was underwater after flipping his boat during the F1 Powerboat Championship at Port Neches Riverfest. Rescue crews responded quickly, raising the boat’s nose and pulling him out, with one performing CPR all the way to shore.
"It was hard to watch," said his son, Christopher. "I don't know what was going through my head other than I knew he was in trouble."
According to Director of Trauma Surgery and Critical Care Dr. David Parkus, Jerry had no pulse and had effectively drowned. He credits first responders with saving his life.
Dr. Parkus reminds us that trauma is the fourth leading cause of death across all ages, and many incidents are preventable. Today, Jerry is doing better after his accident, and Chris is grateful for the care he's received.
"The people here have taken really good care of him. He’s alert and aware. St. Elizabeth—they’re amazing."

When Anne suffered a stroke, she suddenly found herself unable to communicate. After being diagnosed with severe aphasia, she began outpatient therapy with Speech Language Pathologist Nyah Sciarrilla. At first, she couldn’t get any words out. Now she can clearly say “I love you” to her husband Paul. Since then, she's made significant progress in getting her language back.

According to Nyah, strokes are one of the most common causes of aphasia, though injuries to the left side of the brain can also lead to it. Fortunately, intelligence isn't affected, but it’s important to catch language difficulties early after a stroke so therapy can begin as soon as possible. Nyah says it's never too late to talk to your doctor and ask for a referral for speech therapy.

"Improvements can happen regardless of how long ago it's been."

For years, General Surgeon Dr. Kevin Dean has treated patients with hernias at our ministry, only to one day need the same care himself. After recognizing the signs, he turned to fellow surgeon Dr. Iumy Torres for a successful, minimally invasive hernia repair and was soon back to helping others. This season, Dr. Torres reminds us that hernias can affect anyone and often appear as a bulge or lump in the abdominal area. Fortunately, our da Vinci 5 robotic system allows for advanced, minimally invasive hernia repairs, promoting a faster and safer recovery.
