FROM THE PRESIDENT I'm honored to join the CHRISTUS Spohn Health System team as the new president of the CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi– Shoreline and Memorial campuses. It has been a whirlwind for my family and I as we make the move to Corpus Christi, but it's an exciting time for us. Most recently, I served as the chief administrative officer and chief operating officer for Hillcrest Healthcare System in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The momentum at CHRISTUS Spohn Shoreline is a whirlwind, too, with new construction underway as part of CHRISTUS Spohn's $325 million Master Facility Plan. The new construction at Shoreline will truly transform our health care capabilities to better serve Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend, and the opportunity to take a leadership role in such a special effort is a privilege. The Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Family Health Center is open, and patients are being seen on the CHRISTUS Spohn Memorial campus. We are in high gear at Shoreline. The "new" Shoreline tower will be completed in 2019. Even though the construction activity continues at a high pace until then, you can be assured that we will always offer the full range of services to our patients and their families. Thank you for welcoming me to the CHRISTUS Spohn family, and please enjoy this latest issue of LiveWell. Highlights include a look at the donors who made our Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Family Center possible, an article about a wonderful cardiologist on our team, and information about how the Colston Wellness Gym can help you reach your New Year's goals. As always, please send us any ideas or stories you'd like to see in an upcoming issue. Best wishes, Brian E.
