When Glenda Moreno learned her parathyroid hormone levels were two to three times higher than normal, her doctors feared nodules might be the cause. An ultrasound ruled that out, and soon after, she met Endocrinologist Dr. Sirisha Thambuluru.
Glenda had previously undergone gastric bypass surgery and was once insulin-dependent due to diabetes, so Dr. Thambuluru ran some tests and discovered the underlying issue: vitamin deficiency caused by poor absorption related to her bypass.
She prescribed Glenda with liquid calcium, which helped return her levels to normal in six weeks. Glenda was also experiencing symptoms of fatigue, aches and aching pains due to issues with her bone density, so Dr. Thambuluru started her on Fosamax until Glenda’s symptoms improved and her energy returned.
Today, Glenda is grateful for Dr. Thambuluru’s exceptional care and describes her as someone who “listens, investigates, and involves patients in every step of their treatment.” She encourages others to take symptoms seriously and get evaluated so they can avoid the “what ifs” and protect their health.

Our Inpatient Rehab unit turned up the joy at our Mardi Gras parade! We celebrated our patients and their progress, perseverance and the power of our community in the middle of their rehab journey.
One of our patients, Mr. Clark, shared, “Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for the CHRISTUS rehab.”
Moments like these remind us that healing is about more than therapy sessions; it is about connection and celebrating every step forward in the parade that is progress!

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.

When Robin first walked through the doors of our cardiac rehab, he was in pain, struggling to breathe or talk without coughing, and unsure of what the future held. Less than 10 weeks later, he's a completely different man.
Robin walked 256 feet farther in his final assessment than he did on day one. He completed 17 arm curls, an exercise he couldn’t do at all when he first started, gained 4 pounds of muscle, lost 4% body fat, and improved his strength, conditioning, nutrition habits, and quality of life scores.
But his numbers only tell part of the story.
The biggest transformation wasn’t just physical, it was his mindset.

After 10 years of doing this work, our team said they’ve rarely seen a transformation quite like his. When it came time to choose one word for his certificate, there was only one that fit: Transformed.

Long-time nurse Susan Hall began her own cardiac journey decades ago after being diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse. In 2023, she developed worsening shortness of breath and fatigue despite losing 40 pounds. Her cardiologist found that her aortic valve was about half its normal size with abnormal tissue growth, giving her only a 50 percent chance of surviving two more years without treatment. Cardiovascular Surgeon Dr. John Evans performed an aortic valve replacement, and after three months of cardiac rehabilitation, Susan returned to an active life. Today, caring for her heart is a top priority for her and her family, serving as a daily reminder to be grateful, stay active, and closely monitor her health.

While performing CT scans and promoting quality care, Hoss does everything he can to make sure patients feel comfortable and at ease. "I try my hardest to keep people from having to wait on CTs. I go and get people from the ER and take patients back to the floor as long as transport is backed up," he says.

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.
