In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are celebrating saints like Saint Pedro Calungsod. Pedro was born in the Philippines, in a region known for its strong Catholic roots, and he was drawn to the faith from a young age. As a young lay catechist and missionary, he traveled to the Mariana Islands to help share the Gospel and teach the Catholic faith. Martyred in Guam at just 17 years old, he is remembered for his courage, humility and devotion to Christ. Canonized in 2012, Saint Pedro continues to inspire young people and missionaries through his faithful witness.

Therapy dogs are more than companions; they are an essential part of our mission, bringing dedication and excellence to every visit. From easing stress and anxiety to lifting spirits and supporting recovery, their presence can brighten even the most challenging days in our hospitals. For National Animal Therapy Day, we celebrated and blessed our volunteer pairs for another year of providing comfort and connection to patients, families, and Associates.

World Immunization Week is not just a spot on the calendar, but a global reminder that protecting ourselves and our communities starts with vaccination.

This Lab Week, we recognize the dedicated team that executes millions of tests each year, delivering reliable, timely results that support care across our ministry.

Earlier this month, the CHRISTUS Good Shepherd Foundation's Red Dress Luncheon brought our community together for an inspiring afternoon of awareness and advocacy. Guests heard an impactful presentation on women’s heart health from Deb Chelette, regional VP of cardiovascular services for CHRISTUS Health NETX & NLA, and we proudly honored Amanda Wynn for her many years of dedicated service to the Foundation and our local healthcare community. This meaningful event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors.

We recently welcomed Bishop Gregory Kelly of the Diocese of Tyler to bless our newly installed tabernacle in the Longview Chapel during a special Mass.

With this blessing, the hospital received permission to reserve the Most Blessed Sacrament on site for the spiritual good of the faithful. The tabernacle was donated by the Knights of Columbus and allows for Eucharistic adoration and, most importantly, makes communion readily available to patients who are sick or unable to leave their rooms.

This addition strengthens our ministry by ensuring that spiritual care remains an integral part of the healing experience in our ministry, offering comfort and the sustaining presence of Christ to patients, families, Associates and visitors now and for years to come.

We were honored to stand alongside our partners at Southwest Transplant Alliance for a meaningful day of reflection in recognition of Donate Life Month 💚💜
In just the past few years, nearly 4,000 organ and tissue recipients have been given a second chance at life through CHRISTUS Good Shepherd, a powerful reminder of the impact of saying “yes” to donation.
Today’s observance included a heartfelt testimony and a moment of silence to honor those who have chosen, and continue to choose, to be donors. We also unveiled a Donate Life flag that will proudly fly in front of our hospital, serving as a daily reminder that one decision can save countless lives.

This National Foot Health Awareness Month, we celebrate distinguished podiatric experts like Dr. Britton S. Plemmons, whose commitment to community well-being is reflected through compassionate care and clinical excellence. With services including reconstructive foot, ankle, and bunion surgery, total ankle replacement, and specialized care for diabetic foot and ankle conditions, sports injuries, and trauma, Dr. Plemmons helps patients maintain an active, healthy lifestyle and regain the mobility they deserve.

Being prepared matters. Being prepared for your health starts with a plan. During National Health Care Decisions Day, it's important to remember that completing advance directives to improve end-of-life conversations should be as commonplace as financial planning. Unfortunately, only a third of people have completed these legal documents. Whether it's a Medical Power of Attorney or a Directive to Physicians and Family or Surrogates, taking time to document your wishes today helps ensure your voice is heard, your values are respected, and your loved ones are supported when decisions matter most.

April is National Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month, reminding us of the importance of routine cancer screenings. Affecting nearly 1 in 8 women, breast cancer has significantly higher survival rates when detected early. Early breast exams and mammograms are critical for long-term monitoring and effective screening.

We took three of our inpatient rehab patients outside to enjoy some time in the weather with some simple kite-flying! It was a great opportunity to boost morale while encouraging social interaction away from the hospital setting. Recovery can sometimes feel overwhelming with its own unique challenges, but we're grateful to be able to provide moments like this for our patients that support their individual journeys.
