Caring and generosity continue to shine across our community. We recently hosted our annual Lyrics and Legends event, featuring unforgettable performances by John Anderson and Paul Overstreet.

Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors, guests, and donors, the evening raised $350,000 to help fund the construction of a healing garden at our new cancer center—a serene space designed to bring peace and comfort to patients and their loved ones.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this night such a success. Together, we’re building hope and healing for generations to come.

Congratulations to our Living Our Values “Compassion” Winner, Susie Grigsby!

Susie has gone above and beyond to make patients and coworkers feel seen, valued, and cared for. One rainy day, a patient arrived soaked and cold for his appointment. Susie quietly stepped in, giving him a poncho and some snacks. To him, it was the first gift he had ever received in over 60 years.

This small act reflects the everyday compassion Susie shows: listening without judgment, creating a safe space, and offering calm, steady support to everyone around her. She uplifts her team and touches the lives of patients in ways that are meaningful and lasting. We are proud to celebrate Susie for living our values every single day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first-ever Pink Out Walk! The day was filled with hope, strength and community as survivors, loved ones and caregivers walked together amidst a sea of pink. From heartfelt “In Remembrance” banners to chalk messages of encouragement, every step honored the fight against breast cancer and celebrated those who inspire us every day.

Breast health doesn’t stop when October ends. Mammograms lead to early detection—make your appointment today and encourage the women you love to do the same https://christus.io/breastimaging

Halloween is all about fun, but staying safe should be part of the plan. When trick-or-treating, it's always better to go out in a group. Sticking to familiar, well-lit streets can help drivers see children more easily. Trips and falls can also be dangerous, but carrying flashlights or glow sticks and wearing reflective clothing can help prevent them. Before anyone digs into the candy, take a minute to check it because a little caution goes a long way.

This , we celebrate our incredible physical therapy patients and stroke survivors like Everett English. After spending nearly 100 days in our hospital recovering from a stroke, Everett rotated through inpatient care, ICU, stroke floor, and rehab. Our Associates described him as one of the most inspirational patients they've ever had the privilege of caring for. As a tribute to Everett and a way to say thanks, Associates from all units that cared for him gathered to send him off. They shared stories of his recovery, gifted him a new fedora, and presented him with a card signed by everyone who cared for him. Everett got to tell his care team how much he appreciated all they did for him, calling them "angels."

For many women in rural East Texas, getting a mammogram can mean hours of driving, time off work, and putting family or farm responsibilities on hold. We're changing that.

Congratulations to the Living Our Values “Stewardship” recipient, Megan McCoy!

Megan exemplifies stewardship through her dedication to operational excellence and the sustainable use of resources. By mentoring colleagues, streamlining supply usage, and creating cost-saving processes, like loaning surgical instruments between CHRISTUS campuses, she has strengthened our perioperative services while protecting resources for the future.

Megan’s thoughtful leadership extends beyond cost management. From aligning water testing protocols to ensuring efficiency without compromising quality or safety, she uses her skills and expertise to serve the greater good. We are proud to celebrate Megan for her commitment to stewardship and the lasting impact she makes every day.

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 resilience and gratitude. Admiring the strength of the women she’s met in her group, she found comfort in their shared experience and says the support she’s received has become an essential part of her healing.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, learn more about the services, including our “Pink Ribbon Journey” breast cancer support group, by visiting christus.io/longview-breast-center
