Chaplaincy Program Comforts Families  in Spiritual Need

Becoming hospitalized, or having a loved one undergo hospitalization, can be a frightening experience. Often, it's the comfort and spiritual guidance that people receive during these trying times that can give them strength to maintain hope and to get better.

Fun in the Sun

It's that time of year again, when the temperature climbs up into triple digits. Your kids probably want to head outside in the heat.

From the CEO

Welcome to the Summer Issue of Health News! As the weather heats up and family members head outside for some fun in the sun, Doctors Hospital of Laredo urges you to play it safe.

Chronic Stomach Pain May Come
from Infection


One of the causes of chronic abdominal pain in children and adults is gastritis or peptic ulcer disease, which is sometimes caused by the H. pylori bacteria (Helicobacter pylori).
