CHRISTUS Spohn Foundation 2019 Annual Report - Page 17

Helping People One-on-One.
“It’s not just raising money,
it’s about helping people
one-on-one,” Jordan shared. “It just means a lot
to know you helped to raise funds for things that
actually help people with their life and that means
so much to their family.” As a Board Member, she works closely with the
Foundation’s Ambassador Program, engaging
in insightful one-on-one conversations with
community leaders to share the great things
happening at CHRISTUS Spohn and its vision for
growth.
Jordan’s experience with CHRISTUS Spohn is not
just one of service, her husband and mother have
also undergone several health care procedures
within its hospital walls, linking the family with
many dedicated physicians and nurses over the
years. Looking ahead to the future of the health
system, Jordan sees CHRISTUS Spohn’s services
expanding as the South Texas community grows
through more industry, residents and tourists.
With world class health care facilities located
right here in the Coastal Bend, families can be
assured they will be cared for by CHRISTUS
Spohn for years to come.
“We’ve always had excellent care and have
been very pleased,” she recalled. “Of course, it’s
also close to your heart when you’ve received
treatment there. We’re just grateful to the
CHRISTUS Spohn team for taking great care of
our family.”
Jordan says giving back to the health system
through service and philanthropy is something
she owes the community who has given her so
many years of success.
When Jordan began her company 30 years ago, it
was just herself in a small office. Now, L.K. Jordan
& Associates has grown to include more than 60
full-time employees with offices throughout the
state. Thanks to that success, Jordan feels a special
obligation to give back to her community as a way
of saying “Thank you” for their support.
“The success that I get from business and the
people we work with, I feel like I should share
it with the community which brought it to us,”
Jordan added. “We always try to commit funds
that go to local organizations. We like to give back
to people in our community that helped us grow.”
Raised in Refugio, Jordan has come a long way
from her humble beginnings to Corpus Christi
where she has built a strong business network
throughout her home state. Along the way, she
has invested her time and energy into growing
CHRISTUS Spohn as well, and is proud to see that
hard work come to fruition through the opening
of the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Family
Health Center and the new Patient Care Tower at
CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital-Shoreline.
“I think it’s wonderful that people don’t have to
go to Houston to get treatment. We’ve got state-
of-the-art facilities so that people can be treated
here and they don’t have to go out of town,” Jordan
said. “The message that needs to go out is about
the services we do offer and what our mission is
at CHRISTUS Spohn.”
One particular area of growth Jordan notes, is the
number of homes and businesses being added
to the city’s southside, and the opportunity for
Christus Spohn-South Hospital to meet the need
for critical health care services there.
“They are opening up doors for people on that side
of town so they don’t have to come all the way
down here to Shoreline,” Jordan added. “I think it’s
good to see Spohn being able to offer full service
in these areas so that everyone can be able to get
the benefits that coming to Shoreline gets you.
I’m just happy to hear that Spohn is focusing on
bringing those services to our existing facilities.”
In the end, what sets CHRISTUS Spohn apart is its
commitment to its historic mission of “extending
the healing ministry of Jesus Christ” to all in
the community, and the high-caliber nurses,
physicians, associates and volunteers who
provide expert and caring service, she said.
“We’re a big team and we have wonderful
professionals here - wonderful doctors, and an
executive team that is always trying to make
the community better,” Jordan said. “CHRISTUS
Spohn cares.”
