With holiday gatherings on the calendar, protecting ourselves from viral infections is more important than ever.
Antibiotics may seem like the right treatment for the common cold, flu, and COVID-19, but they actually only treat certain bacterial infections. Instead, our infectious diseases specialists say to focus on one thing: symptom relief. When in doubt, speak with a doctor or pharmacist for advice.
At 61 years old, Jerry Patton was used to falling all the time. What he believed was just a bad knee turned out to be something far worst. Fortunately, an attentive physical therapist noticed subtle signs in his hands and suggested further imaging. Jerry’s MRI finally revealed the actual cause of his constant falls: cervical spinal stenosis.
The condition became so severe that Jerry was paralyzed from the waist down. However, with the help of Dr. Buquing Liang, a neurosurgeon at LLUH, Jerry underwent a two-part surgery that would give him the ability to walk, drive, and take control of his life again.

Did you know chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affects rural communities more than urban areas?
Our pulmonary expert, Dr. Khazenay Bakhsh, explains this disparity stems from a complex mix of lifestyle, healthcare, and economic factors, such as:
🚬 Higher smoking rates due to social norms
🩺 Limited access to healthcare and specialists
☣️ Increased exposure to occupational hazards
🏫 Higher rates of poverty and lower education levels
We're committed to addressing these disparities and improving care for all communities.

35 years of proton therapy cancer treatment! 🌟
We recently celebrated the 35th anniversary of the James M. Slater, MD, Proton Treatment & Research Center with a luncheon honoring the people and vision that made it happen.
This special day brought together physicians, physicists, nurses, radiation technologists, staff, and longtime supporters to honor a legacy that began in 1990, when LLUH opened the world’s first hospital-based proton therapy facility. That day realized the decades-long vision of Dr. James M. Slater, who sought a gentler, more precise way to treat cancer.
The spirit of innovation that began 35 years ago continues to guide us toward the future of cancer treatment.
Shoutout to radiology! 🙌 This Radiologic Technology Week, we’d like to recognize the exceptional care our team provides to our patients every day. Their dedication to delivering excellent imaging and compassionate patient care is truly unrivaled.
We appreciate all that you do — today and every day!
