Holiday Meal & Atrium Gardens Renovation Ribbon Cutting

CCMH Community , , , , , ,

The Food and Nutrition Department is so excited to be in our beautiful new cafeteria! We started the day with a ribbon cutting and then opened our doors so our employees could finally feast on the wonderful food created by Chef Clayton Bell, Supervisor Ileana Wheeler and the FNS team. Over 2500 pounds of prime rib and 3600 pounds of turkey plus traditional accompaniments were served to over 1550 staff and family members!

The CCMH family shared plenty of oohs, ahhs, and laughter while gathered together in the new bright and inviting dining room. They were also able to tour the new servery which created great anticipation for the following day when they could finally dine in the renovated cafe.

The 51 item salad bar; which is the biggest in Lawton, was particularly of great interest for those that are looking for healthier options in the new year. Of course, the new burger bar and pizza slab continued to be a favorite.

The Food and Nutrition team is so proud of our new facility and hope that everyone who waited so patiently will agree that it is worth the wait!

In Remembrance of Analyssa Orjuela, MD

CCMH Community, CCMH Providers , , , ,

CCMH is saddened by the loss of one of our physicians. Dr. Analyssa Orjuela unexpectedly passed away last Wednesday morning as a result of a multiple-vehicle accident.

About her life

Born on June 13, 1987, Analyssa grew up in McAllen, Texas. She also graduated from McAllen High School. She loved and excelled in many activities including music, dance, gymnastics, cheerleading and academics. However, despite her many activities, she cherished time with her family above all.

Upon graduating from high school, Analyssa attended The University of Texas – Pan American where she received her bachelor’s degree. She then attended The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas where she received her Doctor of Medicine. She completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Dr. Orjuela had a selfless spirit and passion for helping others. She was always there for her patients, siblings and friends in a time of need. Others considered her an inspiration to work hard and live a life of grace and dignity.

Her career at CCMH

After completing her residency, Dr. Orjuela relocated to Lawton to pursue her lifelong dream of practicing medicine. She was a valued member of our team for the past two years with our MMG Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic.

Dr. Orjuela meant a great deal to many of her patients. Many fondly referred to her as “Dr. O.” She always showed kindness and compassion in her practice, and it was obvious that she truly loved her profession.

Dr. Orjuela’s current patients will still be cared for by her colleagues at the OB/GYN clinic. She made a wonderful and positive impact on our staff, patients and the community. On behalf of CCMH Administration, our thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends and colleagues.
