Growing up, Chance Sebek â an eighth-generation Bell County resident â was always focused on sports.
âMy whole life I played sports competitively. But my collegiate baseball career (at Howard College) ended my sophomore year with me having rotator cuff surgery,â Sebek told the Telegram.
Although he was driven to remain within the athletics world by becoming a coach, Sebek said a new opportunity presented itself when he was being prepped for surgery. He had encountered two male nurses.
âI still remember that day,â the 36-year-old said. âPrior to the sedation kicking in, I realized for the first time that guys could be nurses too ⦠and shortly after (the surgery) I started looking into nursing opportunities.â

Patients in the emergency department at Baylor Scott & White McLane Childrenâs Medical Center are often greeted with smiles â and sometimes a wagging tail.
The Temple hospital has expanded its Pawsitive Pals program with the arrival of Gigi, a certified therapy dog from Canine Companions. Gigi joins Lorenzo, who has been greeted with hugs and compassionate snuggles from patients and co-workers for three years.
