Joseph Brown came a LOT early… 16 weeks to be exact! Born weighing only 1 lb and 9 oz, Joseph received lifesaving care at our CHRISTUS Highland Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Now 6 years old and a recent graduate of kindergarten, Joseph Brown is growing up and is proudly representing all children served by CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System as our 2023 CMN Hospitals Champion.
