Last February, Cuero Regional Hospital became North America’s first hospital to adopt R-Water for use. R‑Water is developed by Rayne Guest. The cleaner (sprayed on and wiped off by housekeeping crews) is basi- cally saltwater charged with electricity to change its chemical makeup, says Gary Loftin, Director of Integrated Fa- cilities Management. “It’s an innovative system,” Loftin says. R-Water is used to clean all surfaces throughout the hospital that were previously cleaned with chemicals, including bathrooms and floors. In patient rooms, it’s also used to clean beds and bedside tables. Benefits of the cleaner ++ Kills germs 10 times faster than chemicals. ++ It’s safe for people and the environment. ++ And there’s no smell to bother patients and guests. Germs be gone— quickly and safely! Shop Late ’Til 8 at the Wishing Well Gift Shop • Thursdays in December, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; normal hours Monday–Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. • Wishing Well Gift shop, at the front, main entrance of Cuero Regional Shop until 8 p.m. each Thursday in December at the CRH gift shop!

Cuero Health offered free, drive-thru flu shots in October as part of its commitment to community health. The hospital invited anyone in the community to take advantage of this offer during the two-day event and gave flu shots to over 170 people—including some local fire- fighters, shown above. If you haven’t had your flu shot this year, it’s not too late! Call a Cuero Health clinic near you for an appointment.
