CHRISTUS Nurses Start Nurse Honor Guard
A group of CHRISTUS Nurses, known as the Founding Mothers, is starting the Northeast Texas Nurse Honor Guard. Their mission is to pay tribute to nurse colleagues who have passed away and comfort their families by reading the Nightingale tribute at their funeral services. The group is voluntary; members do not have to be CHRISTUS associates but do have to be an RN or LVN. The membership is open to any active or retired (LPN or RN) in Texas. To become a CHRISTUS NETX Nurse Honor Guard member, you may join the private Facebook page for members and fill out the form at https://forms.office.com/r/bBKeFfeYbv. For questions or to request a tribute for a loved one, please email NETXNHGinfo@gmail.com.
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month
Recent studies have shown that colonoscopies can save lives. Due to colon cancer being highly curable (if detected early enough), it is recommended that individuals without any symptoms or known risk, such as family history, receive their initial colon screening at age 45. However, if individuals have symptoms, have a family history of, or are at high risk, they should screen before age 45. If you or a loved one could benefit from a preventative screening, turn to our compassionate gastroenterology team led by Dr. Umair Sohail. Talk to your primary care provider today about scheduling your screening at CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital- Sulphur Springs, or call 903.885.1770.
