When lymphedema patient Judy Bonner began her care at another health system, she found that her quality of care would not miss a beat when she came to CHRISTUS. Swelling in her leg from excess fluid, or leg edema, led her to Cardiologist Dr. Albert Krause, who referred her to our Outpatient Therapy.
Since then, Judy says physical therapy has made a world of difference when combined with her medical care. She's using her wheelchair less, is more active, and is enjoying activities again, like celebrating her birthday and lunch with church friends. It's an integrated approach to care that, according to Judy, has put her on the path of reclaiming her independence.
She's grateful for Dr. Krause's expertise, for the additional care she received from our Wound Care Clinic, and for Physical Therapist Tara Alaichamy, whom she calls "awesome." We're always happy to serve patients like Judy, no matter where their healthcare journey begins.
