In honor of Black History Month, we are celebrating our black saints and holy figures like Saint Charles Lwanga. One of the 22 Ugandan martyrs, Saint Charles Lwanga is the patron of youth and Catholic action in much of tropical Africa. In the royal court of Uganda, he courageously protected fellow young pages from immoral demands and strengthened them in their faith during imprisonment. Baptized shortly before his death, Charles inspired others to remain faithful and steadfast. He was martyred by burning on June 3, 1886, and his legacy continues to inspire courage, purity and devotion among generations of believers.

During , patients at our ministry are receiving a water bottle, a salt-free seasoning blend, and a goodie bag with a stress ball and ice pack to promote healthy heart living. Exercise training, education, and counseling are just a few of the things cardiac rehabs combine to reduce stress and support recovery. Evidence shows that patients who complete cardiac rehab have up to a 30% reduction in hospital readmissions and live longer than those who do not participate. We're proud to support our patients with the tools, education and encouragement that strengthen their heart health and long-term well-being!

This Black History Month, we are celebrating a century of resilience, progress and education by honoring the transformational impact of Black people’s work throughout the U.S., Africa and the Diaspora. We recognize the accomplishments and significant contributions of our Associates across our ministries and the communities we serve. For Del Shankle, System Director of Enterprise Print & Brand Services, this recognition serves as a powerful reminder that possibility exists regardless of where a journey begins. “Celebrating a century of resilience, progress and education during Black History Month is essential because it reminds future generations that anything is possible—no matter where their journey begins.”

In honor of Black History Month, we are celebrating our black saints and holy figures like Mother Elizabeth Clarisse Lange, OSP. Mother Mary Elizabeth Lange (1784–1882), born in the Caribbean, immigrated to Baltimore where she opened a school in her home for impoverished Black children. Guided by deep faith and courage, she founded the Oblate Sisters of Providence in 1829, the first religious order for women of African descent in the Catholic Church. Despite poverty and racism, she dedicated her life to educating Black children, caring for orphans, nursing the sick and supporting formerly enslaved people. Her life is a powerful example of generosity and commitment to serving others.

Congratulations to Isaac Stewart, R.N., our newest DAISY Award winner! Isaac is honored for his calm presence, compassionate care and the way he supports both patients and their families during their most vulnerable moments. His nominator shared, "When my family member was overwhelmed with pain and anxiety, Isaac didn't just check their vitals, he sat beside them, explained everything and answered our questions with patience. He noticed their fear before it was mentioned and immediately comforted them. He advocated for them and treated them like a person, not just a patient. His kindness and professionalism brought our family peace during a frightening moment, and he demonstrated the perfect example of what nursing is meant to be."

On , we’re proud to share an update on cancer care in East Texas! December 2025 marked the beginning of oncology services with the launch of PET/CT imaging. Just one month later, we expanded with a multispecialty oncology clinic, chemotherapy and infusion services, oncology-focused pharmacists and nurses, on-site lab services, and dedicated patient navigation to guide patients every step of the way. Soon, patients will also have access to a dedicated social worker, chaplain, dietary services, and a certified lymphedema specialist, all in one place.
This fall, hope will have a new home when our CHRISTUS Health Cancer Center in Longview opens, featuring even more on-site oncology services!

God of compassion and hope,

As we celebrate CHRISTUS Day, the birth and growth of CHRISTUS Health, we turn to Your Word and remember the call of Jesus: “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine you did to me.” Fill our hearts with compassion and courage, so that in every act of care, every word of kindness, and every moment of service, we may recognize Your presence in those we serve. Unite us as One CHRISTUS, rooted in faith and dedicated to bringing hope and dignity to every person.

Amen

When Brandon Turner decided to build a long‑term career in paramedicine, he broke from a national trend of high turnover and burnout. He stayed because of the support and mentorship he received through our in-house paramedic program, which allowed him to advance while continuing to work his shifts. They didn't just pressure him to move faster, but made opportunities more visible. Practicing under assessment-based guidelines gave Brandon the autonomy to treat patients, not just the symptoms, renewing his purpose in the work. Today, he pays that support forward, mentoring the next generation with the same steady guidance he received.

And to every volunteer, caregiver, and team member who showed up despite the storm,thank you. Your commitment is the reason our Ministry and our community remain strong.

Congratulations to Sarah Van Reenen, R.N., our newest DAISY Award winner! Sarah is recognized for her exceptional attentiveness, compassionate care and support for her patients and loved ones. Her nominator shared, “Although I don’t remember much from post-op, what stood out was how prepared my partner was to care for me at home. Sarah took the time to explain everything clearly, answered his questions and made sure he felt confident before we left. She even anticipated my needs, having a drink ready for me before I asked. She truly went above and beyond to support us both.”
