CHRISTUS Health

At 34, Cami Tuttle, a wife, mother of three and former nurse, knew the signs of a stroke, but never thought it would happen to her.

Her first symptoms came in the middle of the night and quickly resolved. Trusting her instincts, Cami contacted her primary care physician at CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic in San Marcos, Dr. Mariel Bagley. Dr. Bagley identified subtle warning signs and immediately sent her to the emergency room, where teams confirmed she had a stroke, but there were still questions.

After other symptoms arose, Cami was transferred to our Westover Hills facility, where specialists used advanced imaging to review her scans before she arrived, allowing the neurology team to prepare for immediate treatment. She was diagnosed with a hemorrhagic stroke caused by a microaneurysm and underwent a successful procedure.

From emergency care to advanced neurologic treatment, every step of Cami’s journey across CHRISTUS facilities was connected through coordinated, compassionate care.
