In Your Backyard: The importance of our health system's access in smaller communities


Listen Later

Access to health care in smaller, outlying communities has always been a challenge, but is important now more than ever. In this episode, you'll hear the incredible story of Kamron Slaydon, a young man who credits the CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System for being alive today, following a 2019 hunting accident in rural Jasper County.

You'll also hear from physicians about how CHRISTUS Health is rising to the challenge of decreasing disparities when it comes to accessing health care in smaller, more outlying areas. 

Additionally, we'll spend some time in a small Texas town that has been without a hospital since a facility closure in 2017 and learn how CHRISTUS Health is stepping up to fill that void. CHRISTUS continues its mission to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ in communities and neighboring cities where, historically, access to both day-to-day health care services, as well as life-saving care was scarce.
