HELLO, This issue of LiveWell is all about family, something that is very important to me! My family enjoys spending time together doing the things we love: church events, our children's activities, being active and attending college sporting events. I'm also glad to be a part of the CHRISTUS family as the Chairman of the Board for CHRISTUS Foundation Shreveport-Bossier. The Foundation exists to help support the monetary needs of the hospital to fulfill its mission of extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. Our Chief Executive Officer, Isaac Palmer, and his family are featured in this month's cover story, talking about the importance of staying healthy and active together. You'll also find stories of our doctors and patients and learn more about the support provided by our spiritual care team. I am thankful for the entire healthcare team that helps families face illness or medical concerns with compassionate, faith-based care. It's an exciting time for CHRISTUS Health Shreveport-Bossier. A $60 million expansion to our Highland campus is nearing completion. Construction of a new building is a wonderful outward expression of the commitment to our community. But within those walls, lives are being saved and lives are being changed. As a faith-based healthcare system, we do more than just heal the sick. We look to extend God's love and offer spiritual help for our patients and families. Encouraging someone's faith during a medical crisis can be a daunting task, but it's a task our wonderful doctors and staff embrace daily. My family and I are proud to support this ministry serving the families of our community. We encourage and invite you to join us. I hope you enjoy this issue of LiveWell and see the family focus come to life. Thank you for your interest, and thank you for supporting our ministry.
