Dear Friends: Happy New Year! We are pleased that you're reading 2015's first issue of LiveWell, and we are confident this publication will inspire you to start the year off right by reassessing your health and taking necessary steps to remain fit and well. It's easy to lose focus on New Year's resolutions after the exhilaration of those first few weeks, but we at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System are committed to helping you work toward the healthiest you possible. In this issue, we spotlight a number of resources that we hope will serve as a benefit to our community's health. You can read about YourCHRISTUS Patient Portal, a secure website offering you convenient access to your health records and options to find a physician or specialist. Read about CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – New Braunfels' telemedicine program in partnership with University Health System, which has greatly enhanced treatment of and care for stroke patients. You'll also learn about our Outpatient Surgery Centers and the remodeled floors and expanded pediatric emergency care at the Children's Hospital of San Antonio. Our cover story introduces Sandra Marin Mainez, who suffered a heart attack at age 45 this past May — but she is certainly what many of us would consider an atypical patient. An active woman who effectively manages her high blood pressure and diabetes, Sandra had never given much thought to a heart attack, but the story of her visit to the emergency department and immediate surgery stresses just how important family history is when evaluating your health. You can also read about recommended preparations for outdoor winter workouts and a healthy, unique chili recipe that's sure to be a hit for this year's Super Bowl parties. And, don't miss the highly anticipated Girl Talk event — reserve your spot now! Wishing you wellness, Patrick B.
