Behind every cancer diagnosis is a story, a family, and a community. Covenant Health is proud to partner with the American Cancer Society to expand access to care and support across the South Plains. In this episode, we’ll share local resources—and how you can help bring hope to those facing cancer.

This special edition of Health Her Way, in partnership with the American Cancer Society, highlights this year’s Cattle Baron’s Ball benefiting Hope Lodge Lubbock. Covenant’s mission is to provide high-quality cancer treatment close to home, and Hope Lodge is one of the ways we bring that mission to life.

In this episode, we sit down with Cattle Baron’s committee members Ryan Lewis and Jo Beth Vance, along with Covenant Health social worker, Rebecca Morrow, to discuss Hope Lodge and the vital support it provides to patients receiving care at Covenant Health Cancer Institute. We also share how you can get involved and support its mission at this year’s Cattle Baron’s Ball.
