Health care
BY AMIRA VAN LEEUWEN & THOMAS LEFFLER
3 health care updates from local hospitals
1 Resolute Baptist Hospital The hospital performed its first Pulse Field Ablation cases in July 2024 using new technology for Electrophysiology. This technology facilitates the first non-thermal ablation approach, which can minimize risks associated with traditional thermal ablation. Resolute also invested in a new computed tomography scanner earlier this year, which has eliminated downtimes the facility was experiencing due to end-of-life equipment, according to an email from hospital staff.
2 Christus Santa Rosa Hospital-New Braunfels
3 Methodist Hospital Northeast The hospital was recently designated as a Level III Trauma Center, becoming one of 62 facilities recognized as such by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Level III centers include 24-hour immediate coverage by emergency physicians. Methodist Hospital Northeast CEO Jerrica George told Community Impact that the designation increases the amount of local patients they can keep at the hospital rather than making them travel further to other facilities.
The hospital received a MAKO SmartRobotics™ robot in May 2025, with first cases beginning in June. The system allows for precise, patient- specific total and partial knee replacements by using a 3D model from a CT scan. This results in less bone and tissue disruption and faster recoveries. The robot also assists surgeons in creating customized procedures for better patient outcomes, said Genifer Rucker, President of Christus Santa Rosa Hospital-New Braunfels.
