In honor of Women’s History Month, we are celebrating women saints like Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. Known as the “Little Flower,” St. Thérèse revealed that holiness can be found in the smallest acts of love. Born in France in 1873, she followed the footsteps of her three sisters and entered the Carmelite convent at just 15 and lived a hidden yet profoundly impactful life. Through her spiritual memoir, Story of a Soul, she shared her “Little Way” philosophy: a path of childlike trust in God and love expressed through simple daily faithfulness. Though she died at 24, her legacy continues to inspire millions to seek God in ordinary moments. Canonized in 1925 and later named a Doctor of the Church, she remains a beloved patron of missionaries, priests, florists, and all who seek God in ordinary life.

This month, we’re celebrating the physicians who bring our CHRISTUS values to life every day. We’re proud to honor Dr. Chris Snead, nominated for exemplifying our core value of Excellence.

For more than 15 years, Dr. Snead has been a steady and compassionate presence within the Cancer Center, serving patients across three communities at our Highland, Bossier, and Coushatta locations. Known for his thoughtful, thorough, and remarkably efficient care, he consistently approaches even the most complex situations with calm professionalism and a solutions-focused mindset. His gentle, well-timed humor brings comfort to patients and staff alike.

His dedication to excellence, teamwork, and patient-centered service makes him truly deserving of recognition this Doctors’ Day. Thank you, Dr. Snead, for the extraordinary care you provide to our patients and communities.

Despite being an athletic trainer for five months, Nancy Hedgemon-Hamilton has already become a trusted and steady presence for the student athletes she serves. After spending 12 years as a teacher and coaching basketball, she says this new role allows her to be more open with the kids and build stronger relationships that feel different from the classroom.
She has found herself learning a lot as she digs into her knowledge to figure out what is going on with her kids, who often come to her with no clear injury, and it has been a fun twist for her to realize that the longtime teacher can now be the student.
According to Nancy, one of the most rewarding parts of being an athletic trainer is the level of trust her kids have in her. That trust pushes her to stay active in their world by showing up at practices, strengthening relationships, and traveling with them, so they always know she is right there in their corner.

After decades of compassionate care and unwavering dedication, we celebrate the retirement of Dr. Robert Massingill.

He was the physician who stood beside families during their hardest battles with cancer. The doctor who treated multiple generations, mothers, fathers, sisters and children.

From walking with patients through colon cancer and breast cancer diagnoses to offering hope when it was needed most, Dr. Massingill’s impact reaches far beyond medicine. He built lasting relationships, earned deep trust and left a legacy of kindness that will continue to inspire all of us.

Dr. Massingill, thank you for the lives you’ve touched, the families you’ve comforted and the colleagues you’ve inspired.

Please join us in congratulating him and wishing him a truly blessed retirement.

We love our Associates and investing in their well‑being helps them continue delivering exceptional care to our community!

A special thank‑you to the CHRISTUS Foundation Shreveport-Bossier for sponsoring Catherine VanWinterswyk, PLPC, with Healing Minds, LLC, to provide an in‑service for our associates.
Catherine visited CHRISTUS Bossier Emergency Hospital and led two educational sessions for our Emergency Department team. She and CHRISTUS share a commitment to caring for the caregiver, recognizing that health care professionals face high levels of stress, compassion fatigue, and emotional demands every day.

Passionate about the mind‑body connection, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and trauma, Catherine brought an approachable, down‑to‑earth style to her sessions. She equipped our team with practical techniques, even incorporating a fun moment singing Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” to lighten the mood and build connection!

Our CHRISTUS team is always ready, and now even better prepared, to care for you!

In honor of Black History Month, we are celebrating our black saints and holy figures like Venerable Augustus Tolton. Born into slavery in 1854, Tolton escaped with his family to freedom and was raised in the Catholic faith despite immense hardship. Though rejected by every U.S. seminary because of racism, he persevered and was ordained in Rome, becoming the first known Black Catholic priest in the United States. He returned home to minister with humility, joy and compassion, drawing people of all backgrounds together through his witness. His life reflects extraordinary faith, resilience and a commitment to the healing mission of Christ.

Our CHRISTUS Kids Clinic - Shreveport patients had a blast playing in the “pretend snow” while working on their therapy goals! This special themed Winter Wonderland week brought a fun seasonal twist to routine sessions, as our creative therapists design new ways to keep kids engaged in their physical, speech, and occupational therapy. 💙
A huge thank you to Walmart store #278 for donating rock salt, whipping cream, marshmallows, and other goodies that helped us create tasty treats throughout the week! 🍧✨

In honor of Black History Month, we are honoring our black saints and holy figures like Blessed Marie-Clémentine Anuarite Nengapeta. Born in Congo in 1939, she became a religious sister with the Holy Family Sisters and lived with deep faith during a time of civil war. In 1964, rebels attacked her convent, and she was assaulted and killed for refusing violence and remaining faithful. Even in her final moments, she proclaimed forgiveness: “I forgive you for you do not know what you do.” Beatified by Pope St. John Paul II in 1985, her life remains a profound testament to courage, mercy and the power of forgiveness.
