Dear friends and neighbors, Greetings from the CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System family and a very happy New Year to you! I hope this issue of LiveWell finds you and your family well and excited about what 2016 will bring. We often find ourselves reflecting on the past as we make way for the future. As I look back, 2015 brought many exciting changes to our health system. Our commitment to transforming the way health care is delivered in our region is flourishing, having added new providers to our physician network, celebrated the opening of new facilities and officially kicked off construction of our $2.5 million, Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) renovation. Additionally, delivering upon our commitment to bringing you the latest and most advanced technology and services, CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System has invested nearly $2 million in a second da Vinci® Surgical System. On page 9 of this issue, you'll read about a new service offered to the families in our region. CHRISTUS Southeast Texas St. Elizabeth's neonatal transport services are available to all hospitals located in the Southeast and East Texas regions. These services consist of an ambulance that carries specialized neonatal transport equipment, as well as a specially trained neonatal team composed of a registered nurse and respiratory therapist who pick up preterm or critically ill babies who need special care that their delivering hospital may not be prepared to accommodate. Our Level III NICU is prepared to do all we can to help keep families together, here, close to home. We are thrilled to share these milestones with you, as we work hard to better serve the needs of our community. I hope you enjoy this issue of LiveWell and find it engaging and useful in managing your health and that of your family. We are proud to be your health care partner and thank you for choosing CHRISTUS.
