Our cardiac care team provides a "boutique experience,” focusing on one patient at a time with world-class expertise. Donald Hoffman, who underwent the TAVR procedure, is a shining example of this personalized care.

Reflecting on Donald's successful outcome, Cardiac Surgeon Dr. Brannon Hyde said, "What you get here is a team of world-class people that have been at high-volume centers before, but now all live in a small community and take care of one patient at a time."

19-month-old, August, was rushed to CHRISTUS Children's after swallowing several tiny, high-powered magnets. Once inside the body, magnets can attract to each other across the intestines or stomach, causing tears, blockages, and life-threatening injuries.

By the time August arrived in the early hours of the morning, he was in severe abdominal pain. The pediatric surgery and GI teams at CHRISTUS Children’s moved quickly. Within three hours, surgeons successfully removed the magnets and repaired multiple holes in his stomach and colon. Thanks to the quick action of his family, physicians, and our specialized care team, August is now healing well.

This December, Safe Toys and Gifts Month, August’s family is sharing their story to warn others. Toddlers can easily mistake these magnets or button batteries for candy or small toys.

If your child has abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, or you suspect magnet or button battery ingestion, don’t wait—go straight to a CHRISTUS emergency department.

Our annual Christmas Tree Lighting marked the beginning of the holiday season. We commemorated the occasion with a combination of scripture and song, including a performance by the New Braunfels Christian Academy Choir. Following tradition, each department made an ornament symbolic of their department to hang on the tree.

Our Associates came together in a big way this Socktober, donating hundreds of pairs of socks to support individuals and families in need throughout our community. This simple item makes a big difference, and this act of generosity reflects our mission to serve with dignity, compassion, and love.
We’re also grateful to our food service partner, Morrison, for hosting this year’s Socktober campaign and for continually demonstrating a shared commitment to giving back.

We’re highlighting the incredible dedication of our Cardiac Rehab supervisor, Lorri Lee, who recently had the honor of presenting the opening keynote at the 2025 AACVPR conference! The session reviewed current Medicare rules for CR/ICR/PR/SET and provided a preview of proposed updates for 2026. Attendees had their common billing and coding questions addressed, gained a better understanding of current Medicare regulatory issues for CR, PR, and SET services, and learned about AACVPR’s legislative actions on behalf of these programs. We continue to celebrate our team's involvement in addressing cardiac-related issues nationally and the impact this work has on improving patient care across the country.

Today on National Rural Health Day, we’re celebrating the compassionate, hands-on care that helps rural families thrive — including programs like Every Baby Matters, which ensure new moms and babies receive the support they need long after they leave the hospital.
Kristen wanted a more empowered birth experience with her third child. She chose CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – New Braunfels and welcomed sweet baby Anderson in July 2020. When breastfeeding became a challenge, Every Baby Matters stepped in.
Through this program, funded by the Friends of CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Foundation and the McKenna Foundation, a lactation consultant visited Kristen and Anderson at home—offering guidance, reassurance, and personalized care. Within 48 hours, baby Anderson was feeding well and thriving.
On National Rural Health Day, we honor the teams and programs that bridge care gaps, strengthen families, and make high-quality support accessible right where families live.

Pulmonologist Dr. Rajesh Shetty pioneered the introduction of the Ion Robotic Navigation System to our ministry, adding one of the most advanced diagnostic tools in lung care to our community. This state-of-the-art technology lets him reach and biopsy small, hard-to-reach lung spots much earlier and with greater precision than traditional bronchoscopy allows.

The Ion system uses a robotic, ultra-thin catheter and 3D navigation to safely reach deeper lung regions, offering patients a minimally invasive option that reduces uncertainty, speeds diagnosis, and supports better long-term outcomes.

Shetty explained that by diagnosing cancer earlier and with far less risk or discomfort, we’re helping our patients maintain both their health and their dignity.

Preventing injuries is not just about avoiding pain; it's about protecting your quality of life. According to the National Safety Council, preventable injuries are the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S. From slips and falls to improper lifting techniques, many of these incidents can be avoided with greater awareness and simple safety measures. Tips on staying safe at home and work include keeping walkways clear of clutter, using non-slip mats in bathrooms, ensuring adequate lighting in stairways and hallways, using proper lifting techniques, and taking regular breaks to avoid fatigue in physically demanding jobs.
