A nurse since 1986, Mrs.
Rubell joined Huguley as a floor
nurse almost eight years ago. In
2002, she was promoted to care
manager of the progressive care
unit. Under her leadership, the
struggling unit became a model
for the hospital and often earned
the highest customer satisfaction
scores in the hospital.
“Tonua’s ability to pull the
healthcare team together is a
product of the trust and respect
she earns from everyone, from
the patient to the physician,”
said Tammy Collier, RN,
FACHE, Huguley’s senior vice
president of patient care servic-
es. “Her excellent skills, dedica-
tion and compassion demon-
strate her commitment to the
highest levels of patient care and
safety. She has the ability to
encounter obstacles and turn
them into a positive situation.”

Texans throughout the
Brazos River basin are beat-
ing the heat by taking trips to
the river and lakes nearby.
The Brazos River Authority
encourages visitors to enjoy
the water, while keeping in
mind the health risks associat-
ed with swimming in or
around stagnant or slow-mov-
ing water.
Most prevalent during the
summer months, primary
amebic meningoencephalitis
(PAM) is a rare disease that is
caused by an ameba found in
almost all untreated, fresh
surface water and in soil. The

while jumping into the water.
With the ameba often found
in soil, it is best to avoid stir-
ring up the sediment under
the water. The Texas
Department of Health recom-
mends that people avoid stag-
nant or polluted water and
take “No Swimming” signs
seriously.
PAM cannot be spread
person to person nor by drink-
ing water. Swimming pools
that are properly cleaned,
maintain and chlorinated are
generally safe, as is salt water.

ism is forced into the nasal
passages - usually from div-
ing or jumping into water.
Upon making its way into the
brain and spinal cord, the
ameba destroys the brain tis-
sue.
Symptoms of the almost
always fatal infection include
severe headache, high fever,
stiff neck, nausea, vomiting,
seizures and hallucinations as
the condition worsens.
Although PAM is rare -
affecting about one to three
people a year in Texas - those
infected usually succumb to
the disease within a week.
To prevent infection, it is
recommended that those tak-
