When Dereck Borders first met Holley, he was at one of the lowest points in his life. After experiencing chest pains for a year, he learned he would need a cardiac bypass to address the underlying problem. After his surgery, Dereck began outpatient cardiac rehab, which proved tougher than he’d imagined.

But Jennifer and her team—Holley, Sharon (whom he nicknamed ‘Fireball’), Karlee, Amy, Marcia, Yareth, Christine, and Danielle—never gave up on him.

“When I went in for orientation, I met Holly and was like, ‘I don't want to do this. I'm just ready to go,'” Dereck recalled. “But then Holley told me: ‘We're going to take care of you. We're going to get you through this.’”

Dereck credits the compassionate care he received with helping him overcome rehab challenges and achieve his goals.

Today, he's feeling much better and has never forgotten their kindness.

“They’ll always be a special part of my life,” he said. “I love all of them so much.”

When Angela Newman started experiencing palpitations, she grew increasingly worried. Fearing it could be a heart attack, she saw Electrophysiologist Dr. Hasan Ashraf and learned she was having frequent PVCs (premature ventricular contractions)—extra heartbeats in her bottom chamber that were disrupting her quality of life. Dr. Ashraf decided on a catheter ablation and was able to locate and treat the PVCs in half an hour. Today, Angela is back to doing what she loves, like playing with her grandchildren. She is grateful to everyone who cared for her and for making her feel like "the most important thing of their day."

It was a remarkable moment for our emergency room and Cath lab staff this year as they reunited with Bo Rogers, a Longview lawyer who suffered a cardiac event in early April. After collapsing while working in Lakeport, Bo tried driving himself to the hospital but had to stop and call 911. Within three minutes, Longview Fire Department paramedics began life-saving treatment. They brought him to our ER, where staff fought for nearly an hour, administering multiple epinephrine shots and around 20 defibrillator shocks. Bo coded for 48 minutes. Preparing to pronounce him dead, Dr. Tyler Straach, an emergency medicine specialist, administered one last medical "Hail Mary," then stepped back and prayed. The prayer was answered, and Mr. Rogers came back. Once stabilized, he was taken to our Cath lab for a cardiac procedure. Three weeks later, Bo returned to thank the teams who saved his life. We're grateful for stories like Bo's and are reminded why every second counts.
