Stroke doesn't always look the way we expect it to, even for a nurse who knows the warning signs.

Kerry King's brother and coworkers noticed something was wrong, so she came to Tufts Medical Center where a team of neurologists, neurosurgeons and vascular surgeons worked quickly to save her.

Find Kerry's full story in the comments.

A silent stroke has no symptoms, but it doubles your risk for future issues.

For National Stroke Awareness Month, Dr. Lester Leung, Chief of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease at Tufts Medical Center, explains that silent strokes are often discovered unexpectedly on brain scans. While they don't cause immediate neurological symptoms, identifying them is crucial. Finding a silent stroke early allows our integrated care team to help you manage your health and reduce the risk of future strokes or dementia.

New hope for families waiting on a lifesaving transplant.

Supported by a $1.5 million gift from The Bingham Trust, we are expanding our living donor programs for liver and kidney transplants throughout New England. This three-year partnership aims to shorten wait times, improve long-term outcomes and expand access so more patients and families get the lifesaving care they need. The Bingham Trust Living Donor Initiative shows how new opportunities are created when generosity and purpose come together.

"Philanthropy accelerates and supports our ability to move beyond the idea. Gifts like this from The Bingham Trust address a critical gap in helping us deliver tomorrow's care today," shares James Pompeselli, MD, PhD, FACS, Chief of Abdominal Transplant and Hepatobiliary Surgery at Tufts Medical Center and Professor of Surgery at Tufts University School of Medicine.

Thank you to The Bingham Trust for their generous support.
