Adam was first diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) just before his first birthday and made a full recovery after months of therapy. Last year, while overseas for a family wedding, Adam experienced a second, more severe episode. He spent nearly two months in the ICU and returned home with a feeding tube and significant muscle loss. With the help of our incredible rehab team at CHRISTUS Children's, Adam is making a powerful comeback! Adam began intensive therapy with our physical, occupational, and speech therapy teams. Since then, he's made incredible progress—regaining mobility, feeding himself, and doing it all with a smile. Today, he's working hard in therapy and dreaming big about his future.

We're celebrating Sean Moore's 100th Brineura infusion! 🎉🧠
Sean was diagnosed with CLN2 Batten Disease in 2018, a rare neurological disorder that causes seizures and progressive loss of function. With a dedicated Neurology team and a well-equipped pharmacy, Sean and his family were able to stop making bi-weekly trips to Houston for treatment, and he has been receiving his life-saving Brineura therapy, or "brain juice", at our hospital!

Providing Sean and his family with access to innovative treatment is a powerful reminder of the importance of our mission. We are so proud to celebrate this incredible moment with Sean and his family.

Last year, CHRISTUS Health provided more than $544 million in charity care and community services, earning us a favorable grade on the 2025–26 Lown Institute Hospitals Index for outstanding social responsibility.
This recognition reflects our mission in action—like our partnership with St. PJ's, a ministry of Catholic Charities founded by the same Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word who opened our hospital in 1869. Today, CHRISTUS Children's provides on-site primary care to children in crisis in collaboration with the Baylor primary care clinic team.

Darien was diagnosed in utero with Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV), a serious heart condition where both major arteries connect to the right side of the heart. He was also born with only one functioning kidney.
Darien's mom transferred her prenatal care to CHRISTUS to be closer to her team of pediatric heart specialists. At just a few weeks old, he underwent a hybrid Norwood procedure, a complex open-heart surgery to help his heart pump blood to his lungs and body.
He recently had his second surgery, with a third likely on the horizon. Through every twist and turn, his mom, Cassandra, has stayed strong and grateful for the integrated group of cardiovascular specialists by their side.
