Strokes can occur at any time and affect people of all ages and backgrounds. There are three ways to protect yourself from a stroke:

Assess your risks. If any of the following apply to you, consider yourself at increased risk for stroke: smoking, family history, obesity, inactive lifestyle, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol or circulation problems.

Know your numbers. Visit your physician regularly for updates on your blood pressure, cholesterol and body mass index. They can also give you advice on how to improve your numbers.

Know the symptoms. Remember the acronym BE FAST, which stands for Balance, Eyes, Face, Arms, Speech and Time. If you experience any of these symptoms for five minutes or more, call 911.

Stress is a common experience for everyone, but the American Psychological Association reports that women experience stress more often and at a higher rate than men. Take a look at the following ways to better cope with daily stress.

05/23/2024

Patients experiencing dysphagia—difficulty swallowing—will undergo evaluation and assessment by a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). Additional evaluations may be recommended and performed. That might include a modified barium swallow study—a type of swallowing x-ray—or a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation where a scope fitted with a tiny camera is used to assess how well a patient swallows.

Treatment for dysphagia is then tailored to the patient’s specific type or cause of their swallowing disorder. Based on the findings, an SLP may recommend one or more of the following treatments.

Approximately 1 in 25 adults annually experience dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing in the United States, according to the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA). For those patients, texture-modified diets are commonly prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to improve swallowing safety.

Although texture-modified diets are safe, many patients following these diets find them unsatisfying, leading them to consume less food and drink. That is due to the lack of variety and sensory appeal in texture-modified foods and liquids.

Select Medical adopted the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) in 2020. IDDSI was created to standardize the terminology and testing methods used when describing the texture and thickness of food and drink. The Select Medical IDDSI Task Force is committed to creating positive change for dysphagia patients across its hospital network. Transitional solids – foods that start as one texture and change to another based on moisture or temperature change – can help support therapy goals. They also support the nutritional and psychosocial needs of patients with dysphagia and other health conditions that make it difficult to swallow.

Transitional foods include a range of items such as wafers, cheese puffs and veggie straws. These foods require minimal chewing or tongue movement. Once they mix with saliva or water, they break apart but retain some consistency in the mouth.

Select Medical’s Specialty Hospitals piloted the use of transitional solids in 2023. During that time, patients not only gained more autonomy over their snack options but also benefitted from increased exposure to different food textures. Gradually, as their swallowing improved, they were also able to feed themselves.

The 2023 pilot was successful and Select Medical is slated to roll out a transitional solids program across its Select Specialty hospitals later this year.

As we continue to mark Nurses Week, here are some inspiring insights and experiences from our nursing professionals.

Life after stroke can mean accepting and adjusting to your current condition. Things have changed and it’s normal to feel that moving forward is difficult. You are not alone. Every year more than 795,000 in the United States have a stroke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Here are some helpful tips and things to keep in mind after a stroke.

05/08/2024

When you’re in the hospital, there’s nothing more reassuring than having someone come check on you. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) monitor patients throughout their shift for any change in condition and report back to the registered nurse (RN).

As part of the health care team, the LPNs contribute to the implementation of the patient’s care plan and assist with the evaluation of the patient’s response to nursing interventions.

05/07/2024

The certified nursing assistant (CNA) role is vital to hospital teams. CNAs are responsible for assisting patients with activities of daily living, like eating and bathing, and monitoring vital signs, measuring intake and output in addition to other responsibilities.

05/06/2024

Registered Nurses (RNs) are the backbone of health care delivery, according to the American Nurses Association.

“Nursing integrates the art and science of caring and focuses on the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and human functioning; prevention of illness and injury; facilitation of healing; and alleviation of suffering through compassionate presence.” (ANA (2021). Nursing:Scope and Standards of Practice, Fourth Edition, p.1)

Shortly after contracting Legionnaires’ disease, Evelyn Taylor, 22, had all four of her limbs amputated due to her body’s extreme reaction to the infection. Doctors told her she may never walk again.

Evelyn was admitted to Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation – Dallas where she worked alongside her care team to learn adaptive strategies. Those strategies taught her how to perform daily tasks such as getting dressed and feeding herself. After receiving her prosthetics, Evelyn was driven to do more than just stand—she wanted to walk on her own.

Three and a half months later, she walked out of inpatient rehabilitation on her own, ready to embrace her new normal.

“I’m grateful I was given a second chance,” said Evelyn. “Granted, I’ve lost all four limbs, but I am actually living better now than I ever did. It may seem little, but I am proud that I just get up every day. I get up, put my prosthetics on and live,” she said.

Our Story

Our journey began as the Gaston Episcopal Hospital. In 1978, plans were made to expand the hospital - which at the time was a general community hospital - in order to keep pace with the needs of modern medicine. Plans were made for a new four-story hospital to be built on Gaston Avenue and connect via tunnel to Baylor University Medical Center. Construction began on the new Gaston Episcopal Hospital in 1980 and the new facility was dedicated in April of 1982.
