Your everyday routine might be messing up your hormones, and you don't even know it.

On July 20, Nicky Napper, a strong and active 66-year-old who works full-time and manages his farm in Dawson County, was admitted to Covenant Medical Center with what was initially believed to be pneumonia.
Pulmonologist Dr. Marque Hunter quickly suspected something more serious. Additional tests revealed Nicky had suffered a heart attack.

The next day, Cardiologist Dr. Marina Iskandir performed an angiogram that uncovered severe blockage in his heart. Cardiac Thoracic Surgeon Dr. David Malave was consulted, and a few days later, Nicky underwent a successful triple bypass.

Throughout his recovery, Nicky and his family expressed that they were surrounded by compassionate care. Dr. Hunter, Dr. Iskandir, Dr. Malave, and Heather Greene, NP, checked in daily with not only medical updates, but also words of comfort and encouragement. They are also grateful for the incredible team on the unit, including his nurse Armondo, case manager Annette, and the physical and occupational therapy teams.

His daughter, a Covenant nurse of 10 years, shared:
“As a nurse myself for 16 years, and a Covenant employee for 10 years, this was my first time experiencing care from the other side. I could not be more proud to be part of this organization.”

Today, Nicky is doing well and continues to recover each day.

Covenant Medical Group is proud to bring a cutting-edge advancement in cardiac imaging to our patients in West Texas and eastern New Mexico with the launch of the region’s first Cardiac PET CT.

This innovative machine combines two powerful imaging technologies, emission tomography and computed topography, to give cardiologists a clearer, more complete view of the heart. This leads to more precise diagnosis and personalized treatment plans.

Cardiac PET-CT is a noninvasive scan that helps diagnose coronary artery disease, evaluate heart muscle viability after a heart attack, and identify microvascular dysfunction. It improved outcomes and helps patients avoid unnecessary procedures.

At Covenant Health, we’re committed to providing comprehensive care close to home, and proud to offer our communities access to the most advanced heart imaging technologies.

Talk to your cardiologist to learn if a Cardiac PET-CT is right for you.

"Kyla, a Clinical Research Nurse at Joe Arrington Cancer Center, demonstrated exceptional dedication and compassion during a recent staffing shortage in our infusion area. Kyla willingly stepped in to assist in the JACC lab, ensuring patients received timely care.

After completing blood work for her last patient, who was in a wheelchair and alone, Kyla noticed the patient needed help getting to her next appointment for an x-ray. Kyla personally escorted the patient to the radiology department, where the patient was immediately called for her x-ray. Rather than leaving, she waited for the exam to finish and then accompanied the patient to the medical oncology clinic, as the patient believed she had an appointment.

Upon checking in, it was discovered that the patient's appointment was scheduled for a later date. When the patient expressed she was feeling unwell, Kyla took the initiative to measure her blood pressure, which showed only a slight elevation. However, concerned about the patient's well-being, Kyla spent time talking to the patient to assess her condition further through conversation. She learned the patient was diabetic and hadn't eaten recently, prompting a blood sugar check. Her blood sugar levels came back normal, but Kyla suspected the patient needed more than just medical attention; she needed emotional support. She continued to sit with her, providing comfort through attentive conversation.

Eventually, the patient expressed she was feeling better and had taken enough of Kyla's time. Kyla then assisted her to her vehicle, ensuring she left safely. Kyla’s exemplary service, empathy, and commitment to patient care are commendable and show that every moment does matter." - Dawn Howerton, Clinical Research Manager, Covenant Health's Joe Arrington Cancer Center

Kyla's thoughtful actions and genuine concern for her patient's emotional and physical well-being truly exemplify compassionate care. Her empathy, attentiveness, and dedication make a meaningful difference in the lives of those she serves.

"I wanted to take a moment to share and commend the wonderful actions of Dorothy Shaw, who recently went above and beyond in demonstrating her compassion and dedication to our patients and their families. Dorothy noticed that a family member of a patient was struggling with walking, and that the patient's room was the furthest one from the exit door. Recognizing the inconvenience, Dorothy immediately took steps to help. She got a wheelchair for the family member and personally wheeled them to their vehicle outside, ensuring their comfort and safety. But she didn’t stop there. Dorothy then accompanied the family member to the café to get some lunch, staying with them to provide support and companionship before bringing them back to their room. Dorothy's empathy didn't end with this kind gesture. She discussed the situation with the charge nurse and successfully arranged for the patient's room to be changed to one closer to the exit door, making it more convenient for the family member. While this may seem like a small gesture, it truly exemplifies the compassion and care Dorothy consistently shows. Her actions have significantly impacted the well-being of the patient’s family, and it’s a testament to the values we uphold here. We should all take inspiration from Dorothy’s actions and continue to strive for excellence in the care and support we provide to our patients and their families." -Marla Daniels, Chief Nursing Officer, Covenant Health's Grace Surgical Hospital

Thank you to Care Integration Coordinator, Dorothy Shaw, for going the extra mile to ensure not only the patient but also their family member was cared for during a challenging time. Your dedication and compassion truly make a difference!
