You can’t always feel it, but your doctor can.

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer, yet many people haven’t heard of the simple way to catch it early. A quick neck check during a routine visit can help detect thyroid nodules, some of which may be cancerous.

Experts can perform a neck check right in the exam room. When found early, thyroid cancer is often treatable, which is why asking for a neck check makes a difference.

Call (956) 362-5650 to learn about your next steps.

Meet Jocelyn Medina, a dedicated CNA at the DHR Health Women’s Hospital, proudly celebrating 14 years of service!

Born in Chicago and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, Jocelyn has built a meaningful career at DHR Health. She earned her CNA certification from a local college while already working at DHR Health, furthering her skills to grow within the organization.

In her role, Jocelyn supports mothers and their newborns, assisting with care and performing hearing tests on babies. What she loves most is being part of one of life’s most beautiful moments. Helping new moms and caring for newborns in their first hours of life reminds her that she’s part of something much greater.

One of her most memorable experiences has been working with mothers who have waited years to welcome a child. Getting to witness their joy and the emotion in the room is something she’ll never forget.

Outside of work, Jocelyn loves spending time with her husband and four children. Whether at home or out together, family time is what she cherishes most.

DHR Health was proud to join the City of Edinburg at this year’s Prostate Cancer Wellness Event, an effort to encourage men in our community to take charge of their health.

The event, held in honor of Mayor Ramiro Garza Jr.’s prostate cancer journey, offered free health screenings, showing how early detection plays a critical role in saving lives. For men over 40 or with a family history, regular screenings can make all the difference. Our team was there to provide support, share resources, and start conversations about men’s health.

At DHR Health, preventive care and advanced treatment for prostate cancer are available right here in the Rio Grande Valley, giving men access to the services they need close to home.

We thank the City of Edinburg for bringing the community together in support of men’s health. For more information on our services, call our Oncology Institute at (956) 362-2250.

Blood cancer doesn’t wait and neither do we.

Every September, Blood Cancer Awareness Month brings attention to diseases like leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. These conditions often develop quietly and the symptoms can be easy to overlook.

That’s why awareness matters. The earlier blood cancers are detected, the more options there are for care and recovery. At DHR Health Oncology Institute, we are here to help support you whether it’s through advanced diagnostics, expert treatment, or helping you recognize when something isn’t right.

Take a moment to learn the signs, it could make all the difference. Call (956) 362-2250 for more information on how we can help you.
