Donna Dobbs began her breast cancer journey in December 2023 when a routine mammogram revealed an abnormality. After a second mammogram and biopsy, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Newly single and navigating health care alone, she was deeply grateful for how quickly our team scheduled her surgeon, oncologist, and radiation treatments without her having to lift a finger.
Her treatment included surgery to remove the tumor and a lymph node in her left breast, followed by radiation.
Donna joined the “Pink Ribbon Journey” breast cancer support group in 2025, which she says helped her regain confidence and community after her divorce and diagnosis. Meeting other survivors reminded her of the resilience and gratitude she felt. Admiring the strength of the women she has met in her group, she found comfort in their shared experiences and says the support she has received has become an essential part of her healing.

Our ministries have spent the month advocating for life-saving mammogram screenings through community events, promotions, and education.
Mammograms remain the most effective way to detect breast cancer early.
A mammogram only takes about 20 minutes, but it could add years to your life. Schedule yours today, because taking care of yourself is the best way to care for those you love.

Marie Koontz’s journey to better health began in 2018 after two brain surgeries led to significant weight gain. Over time, she developed type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and chronic pain that made walking, breathing, and even singing in her church choir nearly impossible. In 2022, her primary care physician warned her she had a 60 percent chance of experiencing a walking heart attack if things continued. As a mom of two sons with autism, Marie knew she had to prioritize her health. She tried a GLP1 for a year, but developed gastroparesis, a condition that paralyzes the stomach and intestines. After years of living with significant pain, she decided to finally pull the trigger on weight surgery. Despite concerns about her brain shunt placement, she moved forward with gastric sleeve surgery under Bariatric Surgery Specialist Dr. Jerome Schrapps and had three procedures done at once. Since then, she has lost over 100 pounds, reversed her diabetes, and reduced her medications from six to three. Marie now enjoys long walks with her boys, is back singing again in her church choir, and says she wakes up each day without pain and full of energy. She calls the surgery a tool, not a shortcut, and encourages others to do their research and start making lifestyle changes now.

Congrats to physical therapy patient Leonard Sneed on his 100th birthday! National Physical Therapy Month was extra special this time around as we celebrated Leonard’s milestone at our inpatient rehab facility. Leonard began therapy for his hip following a fall. It was his first time in physical therapy, and he’s already seeing tremendous progress. Today, he's grateful for the team that supported him throughout his recovery and plans to visit the Grand Canyon once fully healed. His advice to others considering physical therapy is simple: don’t slow down after 70 and keep pushing yourself to stay in shape.

During Spiritual Care Week, we celebrate the compassionate chaplains and Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) students who extend Christ’s healing ministry across CHRISTUS Health.
Our CPE programs have a long-standing tradition of preparing future spiritual care leaders through professional, hands-on experience in our hospitals, where students serve alongside certified chaplains to provide comfort, guidance, and hope to those in need.
With accredited programs at CHRISTUS Spohn, the system office in Irving, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa, and CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances, we’re proud to support pastoral education at every level and nurture those called to serve in faith-based care, here at home and across our international ministries.
Thank you to our spiritual care teams and CPE educators who embody our mission every day.

Paul Johnson is a proud U.S. Army veteran who dedicated 24 years of service before joining our ministry as a financial analyst through the SkillBridge program.

Drawn to our mission, culture, and faith-based roots, Paul saw an opportunity to continue his lifelong passion for serving others.
Throughout his military career, Paul gained extensive experience in the multifaceted military healthcare system, working with organizations like DoD, DHA, and MEDCOM, and leading healthcare operations, readiness, and administrative teams. Those years of service helped shape his leadership, adaptability, and commitment to excellence.
For Paul, the SkillBridge program made all the difference when
transitioning out of the military, especially into retirement. The SkillBridge program bridged that gap, supporting the move into a civilian career.
We’re proud to have leaders like Paul continue their mission of service through CHRISTUS Health.

Ivette became committed to her health after witnessing her mother's breast cancer journey at an early age. In her mid-20s, she began scheduling regular breast screenings, alternating between mammograms and MRIs. But in 2022, despite no symptoms, a biopsy confirmed she had estrogen-positive carcinoma — an aggressive grade 3 tumor. She was shocked, given that she had done genetic testing a few years prior and figured she was in the clear. Our care team moved quickly, and Ivette underwent a successful double mastectomy. Tests would later confirm the cancer hadn’t spread to her lymph nodes, and she began six months of preventative chemotherapy. Today, the morning show host is grateful for the team that supported her through treatment, describing them as incredibly professional. She encourages other women to stay proactive with regular check-ups and mammograms, emphasizing that early detection can save lives.
