When Stephanie needed a kidney transplant, her husband Ryan turned out to be a perfect match. He didn’t hesitate—he donated his kidney and gave her the gift of life. Stephanie received her transplant at HCA HealthONE Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center, where the care and compassion she experienced left a lasting impression. So much so, that when she saw a job opening, she didn’t think twice—she applied. Today, Stephanie is part of the finance team at the very hospital that helped her heal.

This past weekend, 90 colleagues and friends came together to participate in the Donor Alliance Donor Dash 5K in honor of patients like Stephanie. This annual run/walk honors organ and tissue donors, celebrates transplant recipients, and recognizes those still waiting for a life-saving transplant.

Meet Jessica. She’s a cancer survivor and her daughter has Type 1 diabetes. They’re among millions of Americans who are about to face a major increase in health insurance costs.

Enhanced Premium Tax Credits (EPTCs) are currently helping 24 million people – including our patients – afford high-quality healthcare coverage through the insurance Marketplace (https://bit.ly/3GvbvxV). Americans who purchase insurance on their own and rely on the tax credit are now facing skyrocketing costs if Congress allows the credit to expire at the end of 2025, putting at risk the health of children like Jessica’s daughter.

“We were living a perfectly normal life, and we suddenly had a child that had a chronic illness,” said Jessica. “We’re not wealthy. Money can get tight…we need Congress to take action now. It’s vital for us.”

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs. It’s easy to mistake PAD for other conditions like hip arthritis or spinal stenosis, which means often goes undiagnosed. Many people with PAD don’t experience symptoms at all. That’s why awareness of risk factors – such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking – is crucial for screening.

Understanding the early warning signs is the first step toward timely intervention and better quality of life. In most cases, lifestyle changes, exercise and medications are enough to slow the progression or even reverse the symptoms of PAD, so talk to your doctor if you think you may be at risk.
