The staff of the emergency room of Christus/Jasper Memorial Hospital was pre-
sented an award for it’s recent accomplishment of breaking the record in time it
took a patient to actually see a doctor after walking into the ER. The award came
from Christus Health Systems and is known as “The shortest wait time from door
to provider”.
A special ceremony was held on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 dedicating Recreational
