“If it weren’t for my doctors and CHRISTUS Health Plan, I wouldn’t be sitting here today.”— Leticia Ponce
My name is Leticia Ponce.
After my husband passed away during COVID, I fell into a deep depression. I lost my job and didn’t have health insurance.
I learned about CHRISTUS Health Plan through a friend. We applied together, and both of us qualified.
Because I was a new patient, my doctor recommended several screenings, including a colonoscopy and a mammogram. Two days after my colonoscopy, I was told they had found a tumor.
The stress was overwhelming. But having coverage made all the difference. My screenings, surgery, and cancer treatment were covered. I only paid $100 for my treatment.
Today, I know that if I need care, I can get it. My medications, injections, and preventive care are covered, and my doctors truly care about my well‑being.
