HarLIngen – On April 2, 2014, Elliff Motors owner Bill Elliff, Called the Rio Grande Council office volunteering to help replace the recently stolen Trailer for Boy Scouts. This was a huge relief for the local Boy Scout office in coming up with the needed piece of equipment for operations.

need” said Executive Direc-tor Ernesto Carballo. Mr. Carballo also added “that he is our hero.”

The Rio Grande Council, Boy Scouts of America is a Non-profit Organization that depends on the finan-cial support of individual and local united ways to provide the program that has been in existence for 104 years.

Think about this:“People who try to whittle you down are only trying to reduce you to their size.”

“Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company and shall reproach you, and

cast insults at you, for the Son of Man’s sake. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy; for, behold, your reward is great in heaven. “

FREE MOVIE, POPCORN AT STROKE SUPPORT GROUP/DIABETES

MEETING IN HARLINGENHARLINGEN – A free movie showing, “Diabetesville,

USA” – along with free popcorn – will be available at a H.O.P.E. (Haven Offering Patient Encouragement) Stroke Support Group on Tuesday, April 15, at 6 p.m. at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen (in the Woodward Conference Center on the first floor of the hospital, enter through the South Tower). The meeting is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be provided.

The compelling movie, produced by Michael Seringer of San Antonio, provides a realistic summary of diabetes research that was conducted in Cameron County. According to the film, almost 30% of the Valley population has Type II Diabetes. Multiple generations of families are dealing with devastating complications of diabetes – including stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, blindness, and amputation.

Following the special movie screening, prizes will be awarded to those who participate in an interactive “review” game about the film.

Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease that affects the arteries leading to the brain and the arteries within the brain. Stroke is a medical emergency – call 911 immediately if you experience symptoms. It is critical to keep in mind that the sooner treatment begins, the better the patient’s chances of surviving without disabilities.

At Valley Baptist Medical Center, a clot-busting medica-tion called tPA is used when medically indicated to reverse strokes – but the medication must be given as soon as pos-sible. Valley Baptist is also the only hospital in the Valley with endovascular stroke procedures, with are performed by specially-trained neurologists in state-of-the-art “biplane” cath labs.For more information about the Stroke Support Group, please contact Debbie Diehl at [email protected],

call (888) 902-5433 (LIFE), or visit www.facebook.com/HopeStrokeSupport.

DIABETES MOVIE – A movie on diabetes in the Valley – which was filmed in Cameron and Hidalgo counties – will be shown for no charge in Harlingen on Tuesday, April 15, at 6 p.m. at Valley Baptist Medical Center (in the Woodward

Conference Center on the first floor of the hospital, enter through the South Tower). Above, the film’s maker, Michael Seringer of San Antonio, shows a

DVD version of the movie.

A Ribbon-cutting cer-emony was held recently for La Hacienda Casitas, a high-quality 56 free-stand-ing units located at 35678 W. Business 83.

The cottage community event included speeches by community leaders and a tour of the complex, includ-ing its playground, commu-nity room, amenities and high-end model units.

“West Harlingen is an area with a need for high-quality, affordable housing,” said Graham. “Fostering the economic well-being of local com-munities and their resi-dents is a vital part of our work at Capital One Bank, and we are proud to help provide more affordable housing for the families of Harlingen through special-ized financing for the con-struction of La Hacienda Casitas.”

Through its Commu-nity Development Finance Group, Capital One Bank provided $14.2 million in funding for this develop-ment, including an $8.0 million equity investment, a $6.3 million construction loan, and a $900,000 per-manent loan. Additional fi-nancing came from Hudson Housing Capital, Housing Partnership Network, the Rio Grande Valley Em-powerment Zone, Capital Area Finance and Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.

“CDCB is proud to have the opportunity to provide such beneficial housing to the people of Harlin-gen,” said Nick Mitchell-Bennett, CDCB Executive Director.

“Our mission is to assist people into homeowner-ship, and La Hacienda Casitas provides people with a housing option that’s affordable and built to our high standards.”

CDCB identified west Harlingen as an area with a need for affordable mul-tifamily apartment units, and Capital One Bank, as well as several other part-ners, worked to meet that demand.

The La Hacienda Casitas is a cottage community that includes many amenities that make the complex an exceptional place for its residents.

It features a community center, covered picnic area, playground and walking path, energy efficient appli-ances and a group laundry facility.

Latest Weapons in the Valley Baptist Arsenal

The Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen enjoys the reputation of being on the cutting-edge of revolutionary advances in the world of medi-cal science.

Not surprising that the an-nouncement of their new “bi-plane” Cardiac Catheteriza-tion Laboratory places them as the only hospital in the Valley with two bi-plane cath labs to diagnose and treat stroke heart and stroke patients. The VBMC doctors can now better prescribe treatment through “3-D road mapping” of the brain--not possible with just one camera.

Their latest addition of the second bi-plane suite gives the cardiologists the ability to treat two heart or two stroke patients at the same time. This dual-camera technology will allow doctors to give more precise treatment, as the tech-nology allows the attending physicians to see inside the blood vessels in a great level of detail. The two cameras provide a state -of-the-art, three-dimensional imaging. They can see the tiny blood vessels from two-angles or “planes.’’ This benefits the patients because it means doc-tors have more options to treat blockages and other problems in the blood vessels. It also means less radiation and less “contrast dye” for the patient during the procedures.

This Cath Lab advancement places VBMC as the only hospital in the Valley with this two-camera capability. When the hospital introduced the General Electric bi-plane lab in 2012, they were the first and only hospital in the country to have the equipment and know-how at that time--others followed.

That tradition of excellence ranks right along with the hospital’s other achievements: The hospital is designated as the “Lead Level III Trauma Center for Cameron County“. The hospital is also the first primary stroke center in the Valley. In 2011, VBMC be-came the first hospital in the country to be certified with a Gold Seal of Approval specifically for knee and hip replacement surgery.

Dr. Frank Mazzola and Dr. Luis Eguia, Cardiac Electro-physiologists, spoke about the new specialized duo-cath labs. They stressed what a great new ability they have available. Dr Mazzola said, “The new cath lab expands our capability to provide the most advanced specialized treatment to more of our patients.”

Using this new equipment, Dr. Farley Neasman, Cardi-ologist, recently inserted the Valley’s first miniature heart monitoring device--about the size of a “triple-A battery“--into a heart patient, in Valley

Equipment used in a new “bi-plane” cardiac catheterization laboratory at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen includes two camera arms instead of one, which allows physicians to see inside tiny blood vessels from two angles. A second bi-plane cath lab at Valley Baptist will give the Valley increased capacity to treat heart and

stroke patients, including those needing “electrophysiology studies” for problems with their heartbeat.

Advanced Gear Offers Aid for Heart and Stroke Victims

Baptist’s cath lab with excel-lent outcome.

This 2nd Dual-Camera Cath Lab is the latest weapon in the Valley Baptist arsenal to help patients win the war against the ravages of heart attacks and stroke.

Parker MacDonald, Direc-tor of the Cardiac Catheter-ization Lab, said this shows Valley Baptist’s commitment “to serving our community by keeping our services on the cutting edge of technology.”
