At Blackrock Health, we're constantly inspired by the incredible work of our dedicated healthcare professionals. For Professor Karen Redmond, our Consultant Thoracic & Lung Transplant Surgeon at Blackrock Health, seeing patients reclaim their independence is what makes the job worthwhile.

Professor Redmond shares the touching journey of a patient with end-stage COPD. Thanks to dedicated care, this patient regained the ability to manage daily tasks and enjoy special family moments, like shopping with her grandchildren.

"Giving them that breath back" is more than just a phrase – it's about restoring independence and joy. We're immensely proud of Professor Redmond and our entire team for their expertise and compassion for patient care.

Happy ! Today we're putting a spotlight on men's heart health, because it's more important than ever to be .❤️

We recently launched our "63-Year-Old Reality Check" campaign, revealing that the average age of patients coming to our Rapid Cardiac Care is just 63.

But here's another crucial fact: men tend to experience cardiac arrest younger than women (HSE OHCAR 2023). However, the good news is that up to 80% of premature cases are preventable.

This , we're asking you to remind the men in your life to give their heart health the attention it deserves.
