As we close out the year, we’re reflecting on the many ways our teams have walked alongside women and children through every season of life. 💜 We celebrate the strength of new moms learning to breastfeed, the tiny victories of our NICU families, the healing journeys supported by pelvic floor therapy, and the lifesaving power of early detection through mammography.
From first moments to lifelong wellness, we’re honored to provide compassionate, expert care to the women and children who trust us every day.

Service doesn’t pause for celebrations, especially for our first responders. This year, our teams found meaningful ways to say thank you to those who show up for our communities every day.

As we reflect during the holiday season, we remember the stories of the brave breast cancer survivors who faced their battles with courage and grace. When Adriane Abrams received her breast cancer diagnosis, she was devastated, remembering her mother’s own battle in the 90s. A devoted wife and mother of two, Adriane had always prioritized her health, staying on top of her mammograms and encouraging others to “be in the know.” In 2023, a biopsy confirmed her fears. But with the support of compassionate providers like Dr. Julie Broadwell, she underwent a successful lumpectomy under the care of Dr. Broadwell, followed by chemotherapy and radiation. Adriane proudly rang the celebration bell at the end of her treatment and credits her husband, coworkers, and deep faith in God for helping her through recovery. Today, she encourages others to take their journey one day at a time, reminding them it is okay to cry and to always count their blessings.

It was November of 2022 when wife and mother of two, Vanessa Esposito, discovered a painful cyst in her left breast. She had been flying between Oklahoma and Louisiana, assisting her mother, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Because Vanessa has fibrocystic breasts and occasionally gets cysts that require draining, she scheduled an appointment with Breast Surgical Oncologist Dr. Christopher Sockrider.

After the visit, Dr. Sockrider recommended a mammogram, and Vanessa, who had always been diligent with her annual screenings, realized she had missed hers that year due to her frequent travel. A 3D mammogram and ultrasound revealed white spots all around her breast, and a biopsy confirmed DCIS, or Ductal Carcinoma in Situ, Stage Zero.

Shocked but grounded in her faith in God, Vanessa underwent lumpectomies with Dr. Sockrider, followed by five weeks of radiation, which she completed in June of 2023. She credits her family, our Breast Cancer support group, and our CHRISTUS staff, especially Family Nurse Practitioner Christy Lemon, for helping her through the hard times.

Today, Vanessa has a renewed outlook on life and plans to move to Spain with her husband to begin her next chapter. She encourages women this holiday season to stay on top of their annual mammograms, know their family history, and seek emotional support during their breast cancer journeys.

Our Occupational Therapy Hand Clinic utilizes FEPSim equipment to target arm and hand range of motion, strength, and endurance while performing functional movement patterns, such as turning a doorknob or opening a jar. This portable rehab system includes a variety of attachments that simulate work-related activities and was made possible through grant support from the Children’s Miracle Network. We are grateful for their contribution and are excited to use these devices to best serve our patients!
