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.

As we return to normal operations after Winter Storm Fern, we want to pause and say thank youthank you💜❄️.
When icy roads made travel nearly impossible, our community showed up in a big way. A special thank you to the Mountain Showdown, whose volunteers provided more than 700 rides to help nurses, physicians, and other essential team members get to the hospital safely.

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.”

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, our Associates, leaders and providers came together to honor Dr. King’s legacy through service, education, remembrance and unity.

Over the weekend, our teams participated in several community events, including the City of Longview MLK Parade, prayer service, Kilgore College MLK Breakfast, providing health screenings and education at the Broughton Recreation Center and the dedication of The Grove—a historic tree stand where the freed Black community members first gathered for worship, just two blocks from our main hospital.

Today, we remember Dr. King not only with words but through action, by caring for our neighbors, honoring history and committing ourselves to the ongoing work of healing and hope.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
His vision of a Beloved Community inspires our work each day at CHRISTUS Health.
As this year’s theme reminds us, Mission Possible II: Building Community, Uniting a Nation the Nonviolent Way, Dr. King’s message is more than history. It’s a call to action. May we continue to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ by choosing love, pursuing justice and lifting one another up.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and reflective MLK Jr. Day.

We love celebrating our incredible volunteers! The annual Volunteer Christmas Luncheon, where we had the honor of thanking the volunteers who give so much of themselves all year long.

Shontisha Wallace knew something was wrong when her son, Sean, began exhibiting unusual behavior. He had trouble processing information and showed signs of a possible concussion. A star on Gilmer’s 2023 state championship team, Sean was taken to the emergency room, where he was diagnosed with a 2.6-inch brain tumor. Sean underwent surgery, and doctors removed 80% of the non-cancerous tumor. A shunt was placed in his head, but Sean's movement on his right side was affected. Sean spent months rehabbing with our team at Good Shepherd before his discharge. With therapy, faith and the support of his community, who helped raise $8,000 for his medical expenses, Sean is slowly regaining his strength. This season, Sean and Shontisha focus not on what they lost but instead on what they have gained.

“Typically, what my son had is what they see in autopsies, which was the kicker as a parent," Shontisha said. "I cried, but I'm thankful at the same time because the world would not be the same without Sean Wallace.”

Baseball and softball seasons are heating up in East Texas, which is why our very own optometry specialist, Dr. Jared Lambson, is providing eye exams at Longview ISD. Good vision has been linked to improved performance in sports where precision and reaction time are critical. Major League Baseball players with vision higher than 20/20 can even track high-speed pitches and see details others can't. Excellent peripheral vision, depth perception, contrast sensitivity, and hand-eye coordination are all essential skills for athletic success. We look forward to cheering on the Lobos this baseball season!
