Want to get ahead of potential heart problems with a simple screening? According to the American Heart Association, 350,000 Americans die from a cardiac arrest each year. Coronary calcium scoring is a quick, non-invasive cardiac exam that can give valuable insight into your heart health.

The inexpensive, elective screening measures the amount of calcium-containing plaque in a person’s arteries. Plaque buildup inside the arteries can grow and restrict blood flow, leading to a heart attack or other heart issues. Watch our video to learn more.

Your family story holds clues that affect your risk for . Start a conversation with the women in your life – mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmas, cousins – to uncover any history of breast cancer. If you’re gathering with loved ones for Thanksgiving or the holiday season, it may be the perfect time for a chat.

Ask questions like:
➡ Who in our family has been diagnosed?
➡ At what age did they receive their diagnosis?
➡ Did they have other cancers that are linked to breast cancer, like ovarian, cervical or endometrial cancer?

Once you’ve gathered your family health history, it’s time to talk to a genetic counselor. They’ll help you:
✅ Understand how genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 influence risk 🧬
✅ Navigate the ins and outs of genetic testing
✅ Receive personalized screening and prevention recommendations

Early knowledge is power. When you combine family insights with expert guidance, you take control of your health journey. Learn more about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and guidelines for genetic testing: https://bit.ly/3LFOt9M

Heart symptoms never happen at a good time, but getting the right answers can make all the difference.

While EKGs, ultrasounds, and stress tests are helpful first steps, they often give a broad look at your heart. When you need more clarity, precision cardiac imaging takes things further with detailed CT scans and MRIs that reveal what’s really going on.

These advanced images help your cardiologist pinpoint the exact issue — from arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies to coronary artery or valvular disease — so your treatment plan is tailored to you.

If you’re experiencing chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or an irregular heartbeat, don’t wait. Talking with a cardiologist is the best first step. They’ll decide whether precision imaging is needed based on your symptoms and risk factors.

Learn how precision imaging works — and when it’s recommended — in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/3M5lP1K.

Seizures can be frightening, but understanding them helps you respond safely. A seizure is caused by sudden electrical activity in the brain and can look like shaking, staring, confusion or a brief loss of awareness.

If someone has a seizure, stay calm, move harmful objects away, cushion their head and roll them onto their side if needed. Don’t put anything in their mouth or try to hold them down. Call 911 if it lasts longer than five minutes, it’s their first seizure, they’re injured or having trouble breathing.

If you or a loved one recently experienced a seizure, follow up with a neurologist to understand the cause and next steps. For questions, call our Consult-A-Nurse® line at (844) 70-NURSE (844-706-8773) for free, 24/7 support.

is the leading cause of cancer deaths in America, according to the American Lung Association. And for many people, there are no symptoms until later stages of the disease. That’s why lung cancer screening is so important. Screening can detect cancer early, when it’s most treatable. It’s performed through a low-dose computerized tomography (CT) scan – an X-ray of your lungs that could lead to life-saving care.

Not sure if you should get screened? Follow these guidelines from HCA Healthcare’s Sarah Cannon Cancer Network. If you’re between age 50 and 80 and you meet at least one of the criteria shown here, you’re eligible for a low-dose CT scan. If you have Medicare, you must be 50 to 77 to be eligible. Talk with your doctor to learn more or schedule an appointment with one of our experts: https://bit.ly/4i0NpcA.

However, early detection can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment and survival, " said pulmonologist Dr. Amit Chakravarty at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital. "The only way to know you have lung cancer is to get a CT scan, it can save your life."
