Teamwork in action 💙🚑

Our Pediatric Emergency Department team, led by Medical Director Anna Suessman, MD, recently partnered with Addison Fire Station 1 for a hands-on session focused on managing respiratory distress.

Pre-hospital providers are the very first link in the chain of care, meeting patients where they are, often in their most critical moments. By working closely with Addison EMS, we help ensure that children receive exceptional care from the very first response through their arrival at Medical City Children's Hospital.

A heartfelt thank-you to the Addison Fire Department for your participation and for the unforgettable fire truck ride! Here's to continued collaboration, shared learning, and supporting the heroes on the front lines of care.

Meet 9-year-old Caysen from East Texas!

Caysen tested positive for a hereditary gene defect that significantly increases the risk of colon cancer. After an early diagnosis and referral, he came to us for a robot-assisted colectomy, a life-changing procedure that eliminates that risk and gives him the chance to grow up healthy and cancer free. Our hospital is one of only a few in North Texas to offer this leading edge surgery.

Caysen's family says, "Our doctor, David Schindel, was very personable and you can tell he really cares about the kids. All the nurses were amazing with children and we loved the parties, the playrooms, the Child Life team, and all the games!"

🧠⏱️ Every second counts when someone is suffering from a stroke. At Medical City Healthcare, we’re proud to be part of our larger HCA Healthcare system of care, which collectively responds to strokes 45% faster than the national standard. We know door-to-needle (DTN) time is critical. Here, we explain what DTN time is and why it matters.

DTN time is the amount of time between an ischemic stroke patient's arrival at the hospital (“door”) and when they receive a clot-busting medication (“needle”) to help restore blood flow to the brain. The faster the medicine is given, the more brain cells can potentially be saved, helping to reduce the risk of long-term disability or stroke.

Know the signs of stroke. Act FAST. Call 911 immediately. To learn more about our expert, lifesaving stroke care, visit https://bit.ly/41tudgr

Small businesses play an important role as job creators and are a pillar in communities nationwide. More than 4 million small business owners purchase healthcare coverage on their own and rely on Enhanced Premium Tax Credits (EPTCs) to keep premiums affordable.

But unless Congress acts soon, these tax credits will expire at the end of 2025. Many small businesses may face increased costs or be forced to reduce or eliminate employee health coverage.
