The future of healthcare in the Rio Grande Valley is brighter than ever as 65 new medical residents begin their training through the South Texas Health System (STHS) GME Consortium.

Cardiac arrest remains one of the most serious medical emergencies in the United States, with an estimated 292,000 adults experiencing an in-hospital cardiac arrest each year, according to the American Heart Association.

Future nurses became teachers this summer as South Texas College Vocational Nursing students created the inaugural Healthcare Heroes Summer Camp, an interactive program where nearly 80 elementary, middle and high school students explored health, safety and wellness through hands-on learning led by the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Although sudden cardiac arrest in children is uncommon, it remains a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate, specialized care.
