DHR Health nationally recognized
DHR Health has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability.
Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so brain cells die. Early stroke detection and treatment are key to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times.
Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research- and evidence-based guidelines. Get With The Guidelines - Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death.
“DHR Health is committed to improving patient care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Marissa Castaneda, DHR Health Senior Executive Vice President. “Get With The Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which studies show can help patients recover better. The end goal is to ensure more people in the Rio Grande Valley can experience longer, healthier lives.”
Each year, program participants qualify for the award by demonstrating how their organization has committed to providing quality care for stroke patients. In addition to following treatment guidelines, Get With The Guidelines participants also educate patients to help them manage their health and recovery at home.
“We are incredibly pleased to recognize DHR Health for its commitment to caring for patients with stroke,” said Steven Messe, M.D., volunteer chairperson of the American Heart Association Stroke System of Care Advisory Group and professor of neurology and director of fellowships of neurology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. “Participation in Get With The Guidelines is associated with improved patient outcomes, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates – a win for health
care systems, families and communities.”
DHR Health also received the American Heart Association’s Target: StrokeSM Elite Plus award. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet specific criteria that reduce the time between an eligible patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with thrombolytic therapy.
Another award DHR Health received is the American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes™ Honor Roll award. Target: Type 2 Diabetes aims to ensure patients with Type 2 diabetes, who might be at higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized due to stroke.
DHR Health has also achieved recognition as a “Comprehensive Stroke Center” by meeting rigorous scientific standards. This designation underscores its strong system for the swift diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients in the emergency department. As a Level I Comprehensive Stroke Center, DHR Health ranks among the nation’s top facilities for stroke care. Moreover, the DHR Health Stroke Network extends from Starr County to Brownsville, offering around-the-clock neurosurgery, neurology, and neuroendovascular services to ensure that the region benefits from the highest level of care.

OPINION
BY ANDRES OPPENHEIMER
Harris made a risky bet by picking Walz. It will put immigration at center stage
Vice President and Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris made a risky bet by picking Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — a folksy progressive — as her running mate. His courageous, but not universally popular, stands on immigration will make him a primary target of Republican candidate Donald Trump’s attacks on the democratic ticket.
Walz’s views on immigration are diametrically opposed to Trump’s false claims that an “invasion” of immigrants is causing a rise in violent crimes and “poisoning the blood” of this country.
In fact, studies show that undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans, and violent crime rates have declined over the past year. In addition, U.S. Border Patrol figures show that the flow of undocumented migrants has fallen sharply this year.
But Trump’s populist anti-immigrant rhetoric energizes his base, and draws big headlines. Even before Harris picked Waltz as her running mate, the Trump campaign had made undocumented migration its top campaign issue.
The first two items in the preamble of the Republican Party’s 2024 campaign platform read: “Seal the border and stop the migrant invasion” and “Carry out the largest deportation operation in America’s history.”
By comparison, Walz stands up “for a balanced approach rather than demonization” of migrants, according to the pro-immigration Americas Voice advocacy group.
Walz has ridiculed Trump’s plan to build a border wall to stop undocumented migrants as a monumental waste of money.
“He [Trump] talks about this wall, I always say, let me know how high it is. If it is 25 feet, then I’ll invest in a 30-foot ladder factory,” Walz told CNN earlier this month.
Walz added, “That’s not how you stop this. You stop this using electronics, you stop it using more border control agents, and you stop it by having a legal system that allows for that tradition of allowing folks to come here just like my relatives did
to come here, be able to work and establish the American dream.”
Walz signed a 2023 bill that allows giving driver licenses to all eligible Minnesota residents, regardless of their legal status. Walz argues that allowing immigrants to drive to their workplaces helps the economy, and that migrants who don’t fear deportation are more likely to report crimes, and cooperate with police.
Walz opposes Trump’s call for mass deportations of undocumented migrants, and has supported giving a path to legal residence to the so-called Dreamers, or children brought to this country as infants by their undocumented parents.
Walz has supported refugee arrivals in Minnesota. When criticized for that stand by a Republican gubernatorial opponent in 2022, Walz said, “He’s 100% wrong morally, and he’s 100% wrong economically and culturally.” Walz added that “this myth... that they are using public services and not paying back is absolutely false.”
Walz opposed the Trump administration’s immigrant family separation policy, and, as a lawmaker, cosponsored a bill that would have prohibited the federal government from separating children from their families except in extremely limited cases.
Family separation “is immoral, it is barbaric. We can do better,” Walz said.
Walz’s stands on immigration make much more sense than Trump’s phony statements about an “invasion” of immigrants who the former president claims are being released from Latin American prisons and mental institutions with the purpose of infiltrating and destroying America. That hasn’t been backed up by any credible source, and is pure nonsense.
But the fact is that many Americans who hear Trump’s fabrications about immigrants, which are amplified by Elon Musk’s X and other right-wing media, are believing them. Polls show that anti-immigrant sentiment is rising, despite multiple studies showing that immigrants help the U.S. economy.
According to a July poll by Gallup, 55% of adult Americans want to see immigration decreased, up from 41% a year ago. It’s the first time in nearly 20 years that a majority of Americans want less immigration, the poll shows.
In that context, I wonder whether Harris made the right choice by selecting Walz, rather than a more center-right figure who would have drawn lesser attention to the immigration issue.
Harris’ calculation was probably that Walz, an affable former high-school football coach, will help debunk Trump’s false anti-immigration narrative. But even if Walz does that, he will allow Trump to make immigration the focal point of the race for the November elections, which doesn’t help the Democrats.
For the time being, Harris’ choice of Walz has energized the Democratic base, and has put Harris ahead of Trump in several polls. But Harris may have played into Trump’s hands by picking a fellow progressive with a strong pro-immigration record.
To win in November, Harris will have to shift slightly to the political center, and appeal to independent voters in swing states. Otherwise, her current political honeymoon may not last, and Trump’s anti-immigration demagoguery will prevail.

Prepping for Back-to-School Brownsville Celebrates Promotion Of First Female Fire Lieutenant
By Saira Cabrera
RIO GRANDE VALLEY, TEXAS– As summer concludes, families are gearing up for the back-to-school season.
To help combat the stress of returning to class, Dr. Laura Manzanilla Luberti – an American Board-Certified family medicine doctor practicing at UT Health RGV and an assistant professor for Primary and Community Care at the UTRGV School of Medicine – shares helpful guidance for parents on how to prepare school-age children to be ready for school.
A ROUTINE FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL
To ensure a healthy and productive school year, getting children to bed early can help ensure a smoother transition.
Parents can start by looking at a child’s bedtime, especially if it was pushed back later during the summer.
“Start bringing bedtime back down so children can wake up early when school starts,” Manzanilla Luberti said.
Parents can do this by working on bed-

time and schedule adjustments to ensure a good night’s sleep.
“Start by getting children to bed early,” she said. “Depending on when they will be returning to school, you can go a bit slower by doing an hour earlier every day, until they get to the usual bedtime during the school year.”
If students start school sooner, parents should bring down their usual bedtime and ensure children wake up earlier.
“It will be better for children to spend one day tired at home rather than have that first day of school be a blur because they are so tired,” she said.
AS IMPORTANT AS SCHOOL SUPPLIES
Making sure that children are getting enough sleep and are healthy and up-to-date on their vaccines and well-checks before school is as important as getting their backpacks and supplies ready, if not more so.
“Ensure students are up to date on their wellness checks and vaccines so they are protected from vaccine-preventable diseases,” Manzanilla Luberti said. “And if they are going to need sports physicals to participate in school activities, visit your doctor and bring the form with the front history part completed when coming in for wellness checks.”
Healthy nutrition, too, is as essential as wellness checks and vaccines. She suggests that children consume healthy, balanced foods from the top five food groups, including dairy, fruits, grains, protein and vegetables.
“It
moderate children’s sugar intake because high-calorie diets can result in childhood obesity and potential dental complications, such as cavities,” she said.
The American Academy of Pediatrics also suggests packing a healthy lunch, which could include:
Making sandwiches with whole wheat bread, not white.
Avoiding processed luncheon meats.
Packing whole fresh fruits, or vegetables like carrots or celery sticks.
Replacing soda and juices with fat-free milk or water (reports have shown that each 12-ounce soda can contain the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar; and 100% fruit juices can contain just as much sugar, or more).
“Allow children to select from among two healthy snacks, like sliced apples or broccoli,” Manzanilla Luberti said. “In doing this, children are allowed to make some choices and be independent, but parents can still maintain control over what is in their lunch bags.”
OPEN COMMUNICATION
Parents should also talk to their children about what they can expect if they move to a new school or if they will have a new schedule.
“Going back to school can be stressful, so it’s important for children to be able to talk to their parents about the issues they face at school,” Manzanilla Luberti said, “especially for the first day and week, but even after that.”
She suggests that parents sit with their children without phones or screens present to interrupt them, so children know they can come and talk to them.
“Even if it’s just 15 or 30 minutes, talk or have a screen-free dinner together as a family. That will open that communication,” Manzanilla Luberti said. “Kids need to hear and see that their parents are interested in them and what happens during their day.”
BACKPACKS: LIGHTEN UP!
Lastly, when buying children their backpacks and after that first week of school, Manzanilla Luberti stresses the importance of ensuring that the weight they carry throughout the day is not too much for their bodies, and that they use the straps on both shoulders rather than just one.
“Parents should empty the backpack of anything their children do not need, so they avoid carrying excess weight through the day,” she said.
She said returning to school can be stressful for children and parents alike, but setting a routine and talking to children before they start is necessary, so they know what to expect.
“These are practical measures that can ensure children are set up for success, starting right from the beginning of the school year,” she said.
The City of Brownsville is celebrating a historic milestone in the 150year history of its Fire Department. Lt. Amanda Ely has become the first female fire lieutenant, an achievement that is resonating across the community.
Lt. Ely’s promotion marks a monumental step forward for the Brownsville Fire Department and the city as a whole. her journey to this position is a testament to her unwavering commitment, hard work, and perseverance.
“I’m pretty excited, a little bit nervous because it is a brand new position. but I am excited as well to hopefully make a difference in the department and hopefully encourage other females to strive for a little bit more in the department, especially in a male-dominated job,” Ely said.
By breaking barriers and setting new standards, Lt. Ely is not just making history—she’s inspiring future generations to pursue their dreams with confidence and determination. the community is rallying behind her, recognizing this achievement as a significant step toward a more inclusive and diverse future for the Brownsville Fire Department.
As Brownsville celebrates this groundbreaking accomplishment, Lt. Amanda Ely’s story serves as a powerful reminder that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.

FOOTBALL ADDS GRADUATE STUDENT COACHES
RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) head football coach Travis Bush announced on Thursday the addition of two graduate student coaches, including Gunnar Henderson, who will work with the offense, and Brandon Palomares, who will work with the defense.
Gunnar Henderson
A graduate of McAllen High School, Henderson comes to UTRGV after playing in the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship game with TCU.
“We’re extremely excited about the addition of Gunnar Henderson to our staff,” Bush said. “Gunnar will be a big-time coach one day and his experiences from McAllen High School all the way to the CFP National Championship game will add great value to our staff. Gunnar also played wide receiver in our offensive system and will be a great mentor to our young student-athletes.”
In two seasons at TCU, Henderson saw
time at wide receiver and on special teams, making 13 receptions for 235 yards and two touchdowns in 26 games. A two-time
Academic All-Big 12 honoree, Henderson averaged a team-best 20.3 yards per completion as a senior before competing in the New Orleans Saints’ 2023 rookie minicamp.
Henderson began his collegiate career at Incarnate Word, helping his team to the 2018 Southland Conference Championship. He was elevated to team captain as a sophomore while earning Academic All-Southland Conference honors.
“I’m very thankful for the opportunity Coach Bush and the rest of the staff have given me,” Henderson said. “It is truly a blessing to start my college coaching career in the Valley. I am going to work extremely hard and do my part so the product we put on the field in 2025 is something the Valley is proud of.”
While at McAllen, Henderson was an offensive most valuable player, all-region and all-district wide receiver as a junior and senior. He was also a three-time all-district
return specialist and, as a sophomore, an all-district defensive back.
Henderson graduated from TCU in 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies.
Brandon Palomares
Palomares played football at Seguin High School from 2014-17, including his final two years for Bush, who was the head coach, and UTRGV Defensive Line Coach Nathan Langford, who was the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.
“Words can’t describe how proud I am of Brandon and how happy we are to have him on staff,” Bush said. “I sat in his living room on a home visit in Seguin in 2016 when he was a junior in high school, and now I look down the staff room table to see him as a grown man and a coach. He understands the culture of toughness and competitiveness we will build here and will be a great role model for our young student-athletes.”
As a student-athlete at Seguin, Palo -
mares rushed for 1,573 yards on 231 carries while scoring 15 touchdowns in 29 games across three varsity seasons. He also caught 37 passes for 479 yards over his final two seasons after passing for 331 yards on 38 completions as a sophomore.
Palomares returned to Seguin full-time in 2022-23, coaching three varsity sports, including football, over the last two years.
“I’m incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to attend UTRGV and work under Coach Bush and alongside Coach Langford,” Palomares said. “They have not only served as my coaches but have also been mentors who have poured into me and inspired me to pursue a career in coaching. I look forward to being a part of history and serving the Rio Grande Valley. I’m excited to be a Vaquero. V’s up!”
Palomares graduated from Texas A&M in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management.
