 Why did you decide to join SETX Chapter ARN?

Cindy is involved at St. Mark Lutheran Church as a parish nurse in the “Whole Person Health Ministry.”  She is a member of this congregation.

Previous Experience:

Cindy writes, “I received my practical training at St. Joseph Hospital here in Houston At San Jose Clinic, a United Fund Agency, which at the time was affiliated with the Sisters of Charity at St. Joseph.  I managed the eye clinic and assisted in the Medical Management and Well Baby Clinics.  It was a very challenging rehabilitation environment, on a very thin budget, which serviced primarily the indigent Hispanic community in the mid-town area of Houston.

Hobbies, Special Interests:

“I do “Rehabilitation cooking” (optimum wellness comfort food) and collecting cookbooks from regions which I have traveled.  I like to spend time exploring any recipes it might offer that my family would enjoy and benefit from.  My favorite “stress reliever” activity is to bake a batch of cookies!” 

What Rehabilitation Nursing Means to Me: The Optimum level of wellness

 “The mission of rehabilitation is my nursing professional goal.  When health issues arise, be they acute or chronic in nature, the individual’s rehabilitation intervention process begins to occur until such time as that individual achieves the optimum level of wellness in their day to day living.”
