CHRISTUS Spohn Associates, who have been on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic relentlessly over the past 10-months, now have hope as the COVID-19 vaccine made its way into CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi – Shoreline on Tuesday. To view the arrival of the first vaccines in the Coastal Bend, click here.
It will take several months for the vaccine to become available for the general public, however in the meantime our Associates are taking a moment to receive the vaccination in order to remain prepared to meet the healthcare needs of our community. Our ministry continues to encourage the community to be vigilant and practice social distancing, wear a mask and wash hands frequently.
Our ministry is blessed to have individuals within our region who support the health innovations fostered within the CHRISTUS Spohn Health System. A testament to this support are Judy and Bill Colston. Their contributions over the years has resulted in fundamental resources for the community, such as the Colston Family Physical Rehabilitation and Wellness Center at CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Kleberg and a Trauma Bay at CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi – Shoreline.
Additionally, the Colston family, on behalf of the Riviera Telephone Company, have recently presented our ministry with a $1 million check in support of a Comprehensive Stroke Center. Please join us in thanking the Colstons for their continued commitment!
