CHRISTUS Saint John hospital in Texas - United States

CHRISTUS Saint John hospital, located on the shores of Clear Lake, across from the Johnson Space Center, offers surrounding communities the latest technology in medical care. With 170 acute care beds, more than 400 physicians on medical staff and almost 700 associates, CHRISTUS Saint John Hospital provides a broad spectrum of adult and pediatric medical, surgical and obstetrical care, as well as numerous ambulatory services. In 1866 three brave Sisters from Lyons, France, answered the call of Bishop Claude Dubuis to minister to the "sick and infirm of every kind." These first members of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word worked to fulfill this call by opening Texas' first Catholic hospital, in Galveston, and three years later San Antonio's first private hospital.

Located 30 miles southeast of Houston in Dickinson, Texas, Point of Light Clinic opened quietly 1989 in response to a growing need for health-care providers in a medically underserved area between Houston and Galveston. Palliative Care is a special kind of care for people experiencing advanced, progressive illness. When an illness is no longer curable, palliative care provides compassion and comfort while maintaining the best possible quality of life in keeping with your wishes. The plan of care developed by your palliative care team will incorporate your preferences concerning testing, monitoring and treatment.

Some patients that could benefit from Palliative Care would be those diagnosed with cancer, heart failure, lung or kidney problems, AIDS, and/or dementia as well as those experiencing pain, trouble breathing, or other uncontrollable symptoms.
