Christus Health & LHC Helped in Pandemic



An Irving, Texas resident, Paul Generale graduated from the University of Houston with an MBA. Paul Generale serves as the executive vice president of CHRISTUS Health in Dallas.

In 2017, CHRISTUS Health completed a partnership with LHC Group to expand the healthcare services outside the hospitals. CHRISTUS Health consists of over 60 hospitals throughout the U.S., and LHC Group is a national in-home healthcare provider that managed to assist many hospitals in need.

With the help of LHC Group, the healthcare services were streamlined, and more people benefited from treatments and consultations. The partnership served well even in the pandemic when almost all hospitals were full of patients and worked at a 98 percent capacity and couldn’t check in more people.

CHRISTUS Health managed to keep track of the people and patients with less severe conditions and provided virtual support tools to help them monitor their situations. Each time they needed treatment, or their condition got worse, the doctors could assist them and relieve them of the symptoms.
