Ray Burgess lived with Type 2 diabetes for 20 years, feeling fine—until he didn't. Like many, Ray didn't realize that uncontrolled blood sugar could lead to silent issues like metabolic neuropathy, where you lose the protective sensation in your feet.

After a foot infection led to the amputation of a toe, Ray knew he needed a change. When a second, severe infection appeared on his heel, the multidisciplinary team at St. Luke’s Health – The Woodlands Hospital stepped in.

Through a combination of minimally invasive vascular procedures by Dr. David Kuten and advanced muscle flap reconstruction by podiatrist Dr. Efthymios Gkotsoulias, Ray was able to heal completely in just six weeks.

Diabetes care requires a team effort. Don’t wait for a sign—take charge of your health today.

Are you dealing with the recurring pain of gallstones? 🩺 Many patients wonder if they can simply have the stones removed, but Dr. Molly E. Russo, a fellowship-trained hepatobiliary surgeon, explains why that isn't the best path to long-term relief.

“The stones are a symptom of the gallbladder’s dysfunction. We address the source of the problem, which is the organ itself.”

Learn more about why gallbladder removal is often the most effective solution for restoring your quality of life and how modern surgery makes recovery easier than ever.

The countdown is ON! As St. Luke's Health prepares to officially become CommonSpirit Health on October 6, our Brand Ambassadors are rounding with Culture Carts in all hospital departments to make sure everyone feels informed, included and ready for the big day.

Our Brand Ambassadors are deeply integrated in our hospitals—from nursing and pharmacy to admin and support services—and they're there to answer team member questions about our brand launch, listen to feedback, and make sure we’re all moving into this next chapter together.

At St. Luke’s Health–The Woodlands, we believe that investing in future physicians is one of the most important things we do. This summer, we were honored to host our Medical Mentor Program, connecting dedicated medical students with our expert providers for a behind-the-scenes look at life in the hospital.

We recently caught up with Maaha Hashmani, a rising Junior at the University of Southern California, who spent her summer shadowing our team in the Emergency Department.

"What separates a good doctor from a great one is how they treat patients and colleagues," Maaha shared. "Witnessing firsthand the empathy [our physicians] showed their patients—even in the most difficult moments—taught me lessons I will carry through my entire career."

From learning how to navigate difficult end-of-life conversations to seeing the joy of a patient’s recovery, Maaha’s experience is exactly why we prioritize mentorship.

Thank you, Maaha, for your hard work this summer, and a special thank you to our physicians for mentoring the next generation of medicine with such grace and wisdom.

Did you know that during an untreated stroke, 1.9 million neurons are lost every minute? That’s why recognizing the signs and seeking immediate care is critical. 🧠

At St. Luke’s Health, we are proud to offer advanced stroke care that goes beyond the traditional treatment window. Using cutting-edge CT perfusion imaging, our stroke team can now identify patients who may be eligible for life-changing, clot-dissolving treatment (TNK) up to 24 hours after symptoms begin.

"This expanded treatment window allows us to offer a potentially life-changing therapy to more patients who arrive at the hospital outside the traditional timeframe," says Dr. Hormozd Bozorgchami, Interventional Neurologist at St. Luke's Health-The Woodlands Hospital.
