At Overland Park Regional Medical Center, every birth story is personal and every family is cared for with compassion and expertise.

When Milo was born, his family described their experience as everything they hoped for — calm, supportive and centered around trust.

“I approached [my midwife] with my anxiety about the medicalization of childbirth and expressed my hope that my experience could be ‘like a home birth that just happens to have a NICU down the hall.’ In the end, that was exactly what I had,” said Aja, mother of baby Milo.

Under the care of certified nurse midwife Courtney Carlson, doula Charity Vazquez and maternity navigator Lisa Holk, the family experienced high-quality care that honored their birth preferences including freedom to move, limited interventions, hydrotherapy, delayed cord clamping and extended skin-to-skin time.

Milo’s birth captures what HCA Midwest Health stands for: care that empowers every family, from the first visit to the first cry.

screening looks different at every age. Experts recommend that you start talking with your doctor about your personal risk of breast cancer as early as age 25. Depending on your family history or other factors, you may qualify for genetic counseling, earlier screening or both.

If you have a higher risk of breast cancer, screening may begin as early as age 30, or 10 years before the age a close relative was diagnosed. Because each person’s health needs are unique, it’s important to talk with your doctor about a personalized approach to screening.

Organizations that set medical screening guidelines now universally recommend starting mammogram screening at age 40 if you have an average risk of breast cancer. Across our broader HCA Healthcare network, caregivers perform approximately 1.5 million mammograms each year, helping patients take proactive steps toward early detection and better outcomes.
