Shannon Mints was cleaning her kitchen in March 2021 when her heart began to beat wildly. “My heart started racing, and it wouldn’t stop,” she says. Shannon’s husband, Pastor Paul Mints, rushed her to Texas Health Mansfield’s emergency room (ER), where she was quickly taken to an exam room. To address her life-threatening, racing heartbeat, doctors gave Shannon medicines that restored her heart’s normal rhythm and rate—a treatment known as chemical cardioversion. After a short stay in the ER, Shannon followed up with a cardiologist, who is now helping her manage her racing heartbeats with medications. The calm yet confident demeanor of ER physician Summer Lee Damuth, D.O., and her team was reassuring during a frightening time. “Her confidence was extremely calming for me,” Paul says. “I wish I could tell everybody how well they cared for my wife.” The Mints family says they appreciated the empathy of the staff, their attentiveness and communication skills, and that the care addressed more than just Shannon’s medical issue. “They balanced the medical emergency situation with empathy toward me as a person,” Shannon says. Ensuring whole-person care The Mints’ experience is just one example of the type of care Texas Health Mansfield’s ER strives to provide. “We have a very friendly and welcoming team,” says ER Director Kendra Arnett, M.S.N., RN, CEN. “Our team cares and wants to see the best for our patients. We will listen to you and understand the full picture of your health.” “I wish I could tell everybody how well they cared for my wife.” — Pastor Paul Mints

Depending on your condition, your podiatrist may suggest physical therapy or special shoes to get you back on your feet. “It’s important to use a shoe style that best fits your foot structure,” says Dr. Ryba. If these things don’t help enough, your podiatrist may recommend surgery options that range from minimally invasive arthroscopies to ankle joint fusions. “Medicine is about balancing what the patient wants with what the patient needs, which is why we’re here to make sure they are happy and comfortable with their care plan,” says Dr. McCabe.

Sports medicine You don’t have to be an athlete to be sidelined by a sports injury. “You could be at the gym or playing catch in your own backyard when you trip and fall or twist and hurt your knee,” says Orthopedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Physician G. Todd Moore, D.O. The good news? Whether you’re an elite athlete or a weekend pickleball warrior, Dr. Moore and his team are here to help you return to your favorite activities. “Surgical or nonsurgical, we use a variety of techniques to help reduce your pain and improve your function and quality of life,” Dr. Moore says. Sports medicine addresses acute and chronic issues, from torn ACLs to shoulder problems. Physical therapy or pain-control injections can improve mobility and relieve pain. When needed, surgical solutions range from knee reconstruction to elbow repair. Total joint care We have access to advanced medical technology so you can get the care you need close to home. Our surgeon-directed robotic arm, Mako, is designed to perform hip and knee replacements, and Texas Health Mansfield is the only facility to offer this service in the Mansfield and Midlothian area.

6 TexasHealthMansfield.org Committed to the community “Sending money to support great causes is nice, but our team believes that our presence and work in person is even more impactful. We love helping people.” — Kenneth Rose, President and CEO of Texas Health Mansfield Texas Health Mansfield is committed to its community. Even the volunteers’ shirts boldly sport this statement on the front. For this team, those words encompass their goal to humbly serve others. Whether in a hospital room or local food pantry, they strive to serve as Christ served. The hospital runs a hands-on volunteer program and partners with a local nonprofit each quarter, giving team members the opportunity to sign up and give back to the community. Since opening their doors in 2020, this team has volunteered over 975 hours at local nonprofits. Their growing list of partners includes the Mansfield Mission Center, Harvesting in Mansfield Center, Manna House in Midlothian and a local Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Building relationships Being involved with their community in this capacity leads to lasting relationships with nonprofit owners and community members alike. “Sending money to support great causes is nice, but our team believes that our presence and work in person is even more impactful,” says Kenneth Rose, President and CEO of Texas Health Mansfield. “We love helping people.” While the team’s goal is to make a lasting impact on the community, the community has also touched the hearts of the team members involved. “It’s amazing to have hands-on experience in helping people,” shares Morgan Reynolds, a business development team member. “Being in business development, we’re usually behind the scenes and don’t have the opportunity to provide bedside care. Volunteering reminds me that no matter my position, I can always lend a helping hand.” Helping out our neighbors Volunteering within the community has allowed Texas Health Mansfield to build meaningful relationships and foster unity and collaboration with their neighbors. Leaders and team members are able to live out their faith and remember why they do what they do every day. As the team continues to serve in the community, they keep Isaiah 58:10 near and dear to their hearts: “Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.” Volunteer work extending the healing ministry of Christ
Summer 2023 7 Cardiac CT scan: A look inside your heart If your doctor needs to check your heart health, you won’t have to travel far for a test that can give you a clear picture. A CT (computed tomography) coronary angiogram uses x-rays and computers to create 3D images of the heart. The test can show, among other things, if artery-clogging plaque is building up in your heart. Your doctor might suggest a heart CT scan if you have symptoms of heart disease (such as chest pain) and an intermediate chance that heart disease is the cause of your discomfort, says Babatunde Komolafe, M.D., FACC, FSCAI, a cardiologist at Texas Health Mansfield. “We can see inside of the vessels if there’s a blockage or something else going on,” Dr. Komolafe says. To highlight your blood vessels, a contrast dye will be injected through an IV in your arm. The exam takes 30 to 60 minutes. If your CT scan finds a narrowed artery, you may need: ● A cardiac catheterization procedure done to improve blood flow to your heart ● Medications to help prevent further plaque buildup These procedures can both be done at Texas Health Mansfield. “If the test shows no blockages, then we know that most likely you don’t have heart disease,” Dr. Komolafe says. Calcium scoring Another type of heart scan at Texas Health Mansfield only looks for calcium deposits in your arteries. You may want this heart scan if you have heart disease risk factors but no symptoms. Measuring calcified plaque in your arteries can help predict your future heart attack risk. “Prevention is worth more than a pound of cure,” Dr. Komolafe says.
