Christus Health is Rising to the Covid-19

The Becker’s Hospital Review has recognized Paul Generale as one of the top 150 health system CFOs. As Chief Strategy and Network Officer, Paul Generale leads the Christus Health response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In 2023, Christus Health is not only planning to move into an international headquarters in the Las Colinas area, Texas, but is adopting new technology amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. For example, they are drastically expanding screening tools with an online Covid-19 screening tool. This nonprofit is also expanding to offer HIPAA-compliant secure video visits. The live video visits are available for Android, iPhone, and desktop computers.

During a video visit, if the primary care provider determines the need for an in-person consultation, medical evaluation, or blood work, they will arrange a referral with suitable instructions. The Christus Health telemedicine approach is useful in preventing coronavirus exposure and clinic overcrowding. The mission at Christus Health is to offer high quality care and improve health outcomes.
