CHRISTUS Heart and Vascular Institute in Sulphur Springs Welcomes First Patient
(SULPHUR SPRINGS, Texas) – Joe Bob Burgin is no stranger to the health care system in Sulphur Springs. Burgin was part of the hospital board when it was still Hopkins County Memorial Hospital and was integral in the successful merger with CHRISTUS Health in 2016. When he found out CHRISTUS Health was expanding cardiology services to his hometown with the creation of the Heart and Vascular Institute – Sulphur Springs, to say he was excited is an understatement. “I am a CHRISTUS guy and I know what great work they do,” he said. “I am excited to see more of their high-quality care being offered to our community.” On Tuesday, June 4, Burgin, who served as chair of the Texas Healthcare Trustees organization in 2023, was the first patient seen in the Heart and Vascular Institute – Sulphur Springs. His history with the hospital in Sulphur Springs gave him great insight into the importance of expanding cardiac care in rural East Texas, especially for the older and more vulnerable population. “Knowing we have more access to specialized care is a great value to our community,” he said. Heart and Vascular Institute providers are part of the larger CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic cardiology team that currently employs more than 100 cardiologists, electrophysiologists, surgeons, and advanced practice clinicians in the Northeast Texas region.
