When it’s your brain or spine, the weight of the decision can feel overwhelming. One word, one scan, one recommendation — and suddenly, your future feels like it’s hanging in the balance. 🧠

In those moments, asking, “Is there another way?” isn’t hesitation. It’s wisdom. It’s courage. It’s giving yourself the chance to see the full picture.

At Ascension Alexian Brothers and Ascension Saint Alexius, physicians like Dr. Sanjay Yadla know that care is more than procedures or technology — it’s about walking with you through the unknown. It’s about listening until your questions are answered, exploring every possibility, and helping you find the path that feels right for your life, your family, your tomorrow.

Because real healing doesn’t start in the operating room — it starts with clarity. With knowing you’ve been heard. With being able to look at your choice and say, “Yes, this is mine.” 💙

Not all treasures are found on the green. ⛳

Meet Link, our four-legged “caddy” who’s turned the bushes outside the Women and Children’s Hospital into his personal clubhouse—collecting 75 golf balls in just one year! Some even come with custom messages like “old duffer” and “killer.”

With golf season in full swing, Link’s ready to keep adding to his stash… and maybe remind us all that in golf—and in life—the most important shot is the next one. 🐾
