When Monica and Mario Pozos learned their baby girl Luna had the most severe form of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA Type 1), they feared the worst. "It was like a death sentence," Mario recalls.
But at CHRISTUS Children's, they found hope and a miracle.
At just five weeks old, Luna received Zolgensma, a groundbreaking gene therapy that's helping her not just survive, but thrive. Under the care of our Neurosciences team, Luna is now hitting milestones, smiling at every therapy visit, and approaching her second birthday with a full life ahead of her.

This , we celebrate the science, the care team, and the strength of families like the Pozos. Thanks to early diagnosis, expert care from neurologists like Dr. Melissa Svobaoda at CHRISTUS Children's, and advanced treatment available right here in South Texas, the future is bright for children like Luna.

When Sharon Thompson noticed her shortness of breath, she made an appointment to see a heart specialist. A scan revealed a spot on her lung. She was in the early stages of lung cancer. Sharon was floored. She had never expected a cancer diagnosis. Within three weeks, her Pulmonologist Dr. Tashfeen Mahmood performed her robotic-assisted lung biopsy using the Ion Bronchoscopy System. This technology means fewer complications, more precise biopsies, and the ability to start treatment sooner. On World Lung Cancer Day, we renew our commitment to fight the deadliest cancer with the most advanced care.

Today, Sharon is cancer-free and has returned to doing what she loves. She is grateful to our hospital staff and encourages others to take advantage of early detection with current technology, as it could save their lives as it did hers.

When an open foot wound refused to heal after more than a year, it left walking painful and everyday tasks harder, putting Johnnie Stone’s life on hold. He had "diabetic foot," in which his high blood sugar levels damaged his nerves, making healing more difficult. He visited multiple specialists in search of a treatment plan, but none offered lasting solutions. That changed when he turned to our wound care clinic at our CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital in Sulphur Springs. There, he received consistent care and began Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a treatment that delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber to boost healing, fight infection, and improve blood flow. After 50 sessions, his wound finally closed, and he could walk unaided again. Today, Johnnie is back at work, wearing shoes comfortably, and grateful for the care that helped him heal.

When Linda retired, she looked forward to quiet mornings in her North Padre backyard, overlooking the water—not a breast cancer diagnosis.
She had no family history. But in October 2023, her routine mammogram revealed something suspicious. The next day, she got the call. She had stage 1 breast cancer.

The truth is, most women diagnosed with breast cancer don't have a family history. Linda completed treatment in Corpus Christi with minimal side effects, and today, she has no evidence of the disease.

"I'm doing everything I was doing before," she said. "And I'm so grateful I didn't miss my annual screening."

Congratulations to Trysten and Megan Lewis on their recent wedding at our hospital! The Texarkana couple had planned to marry in October but moved the ceremony up so Megan’s father, Rick Revels, could be there after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke. With just hours to prepare, hospital staff and the family’s church transformed a conference room into a wedding venue. Megan said having her dad there meant everything, and one of the most moving moments was hearing a blessing he’d written just days before his stroke. He passed away four days later, but not before seeing his daughter say, “I do.” We are grateful for the moments they spent together and wish the newlyweds peace, and a future filled with love.
