CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – Medical Center {Featured South Texas Hospital – July 2014}

Located in the South Texas Medical Center, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – Medical Center (CSRH – MC) is an acute care destination for patients and physicians throughout South-Central Texas. The campus brings together compassionate care, state-of-the-art equipment, knowledgeable Associates and physicians, and educational support to provide quality services, such as cardiology and open heart surgery, general and robotic surgery, orthopedics, wound care and hyperbaric services, kidney transplantation, and urology, in a safe, family-centered environment for all patients. In addition to providing emergency care services, CSRH – MC also administers CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Emergency Center – Alon, a freestanding emergency department located in Shavano Park. Recently, CSRH – MC underwent a makeover and renovation. As part of this project, the surgical facilities were increased, and the patient care within the Intensive Care Unit was enhanced. With the recent Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) designation, Associates in all units at CSRH – MC are being trained to provide high-quality elder care in order to improve the health of hospitalized seniors. Additionally, CSRH – MC received $500,000 from the Hazel and Fred Kingman Endowment to renovate and enrich The Orthopedics and Neurosciences Center. With its opening July 2014, The Orthopedics and Neurosciences Center now offers comprehensive orthopedic services including total joint replacement, back and spine surgery, and fracture treatment. Also opening this month is the Hazel and Fred Kingman Education and Conference Center, a fully-equipped multimedia education and conference center dedicated to providing pre-operative patient education, patient activities, and team conferences. This center is a teaching space for all patients receiving care at The Orthopedics and Neurosciences Center. CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – Medical Center embraces its mission of extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ to all of the patients we are privileged to serve. http://www.christussantarosa.org/medicalcenter
