Memorial
Health System of East Texas introduced its new facility to the
public with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday night.
The Cardiovascular & Stroke Center, 18 months in the making, could
not have been completed without community support, hospital employee
dedication and the generosity of the T.L.L. Temple Foundation,
Memorial President and CEO Bryant Krenek said. The facility will
work in conjunction with the Methodist Health System of Houston to
provide state-of-the-art care to East Texans.
"We have come so far and can go further still," Memorial Chief of
Staff Dr. Abraham F. Cheriyan said.
"What East Texans can dream East Texans can do," added state Rep.
Jim McReynolds (D-Lufkin), who spoke during the dedication.

Approximately
one
year ago Hurricane Ike struck Texas.
First, by way of Galveston, the large storm headed north as it
traveled up the eastern edge of Texas wreaking havoc.
The next several days would leave thousands of East Texans without
power, while some outlying cities, including Corrigan, Livingston
and Houston, were without power and fuel for up to two weeks.
Ike came just two weeks after Hurricane Gustav.
Unfortunately, Hurricane Gustav triggered one of the largest
evacuations in U.S. history, with more than 3 million people fleeing
the storm which weakened considerably as it made landfall,
eventually downgrading to a tropical storm.
As people returned to their homes and Ike approached two weeks
later, it seemed as though many figured they could wait out the
storm, instead of evacuating as they did for Hurricane Gustav.

Lufkin Daily News.
