Coryell Health's Coryell Memorial Hospital has been recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the top-recommended hospitals in Texas, earning a spot on Becker’s list of “The top-recommended hospitals in every state.” The distinction is based on patient experience data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Becker’s Hospital Review compiled the list using publicly reported Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) data from CMS, which measures patients’ perspectives of hospital care. Specifically, the recommended hospital star rating reflects responses to the HCAHPS question, “Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?”
CMS shares 10 HCAHPS star ratings based on patient survey data. To be eligible for a star rating, hospitals must have at least 100 completed HCAHPS surveys over a four-quarter period.

Get a shot now to protect you and your family throughout the holiday season

As the state heads further into respiratory virus season, the Texas Department of State Health Services is encouraging everyone to add flu shots to their Thanksgiving shopping lists. Doses of flu vaccine are widely available at public health clinics, doctor’s offices and pharmacies across Texas.

Cooler weather, holiday gatherings and added travel increase the risk that respiratory viruses like influenza will spread, so public health officials recommend everyone six months of age and older get vaccinated as soon as possible. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for the body to reach peak immunity, so the sooner people get a shot, the sooner they will be protected during the holidays.

“It is especially important for older adults, very young children, people with chronic health conditions and pregnant women to get protection from the flu,” said DSHS Commissioner Jennifer Shuford, MD, MPH.

This month, our wound center is “going pink” to show our commitment to restoring health and improving the quality of life for breast cancer survivors in need of advanced wound care.

“Breast cancer has affected many of our lives,” states Tiffany Derrick RN/Director Coryell Health Advanced Wound Center. “In fact, there are more than 4 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. This includes those who are undergoing treatment and those who have completed it.”

Breast cancer treatments have continued to improve as a result of research and funding and can include surgery and radiation. While these treatments are often successful in eliminating the cancer, they can have long-lasting effects months or even years after treatment has concluded.
HBO2 therapy aids in oxygenation of hypoxic radiation-damaged tissue, reduces inflammation and promotes angiogenesis, often resulting in a complete resolution of symptoms.
