Christopher “Kid” Reid is sharing his second chance at life.

After experiencing fatigue and shortness of breath, Reid was diagnosed with heart failure at Cedars-Sinai. When medications no longer controlled his condition, physicians at the Smidt Heart Institute moved quickly to evaluate next steps and deliver care.

On Good Morning America, Reid encouraged others to listen to their bodies and seek medical attention when something feels off. Heart failure affects an estimated 6.7 million adults in the U.S., and early evaluation can make a meaningful difference in outcomes.

Birth control is commonly associated with pregnancy prevention, but it can also be an important tool in managing a range of women’s health conditions.

Diamond Goodwin, MD discusses how hormonal birth control may be used to support patients experiencing conditions such as painful periods, endometriosis and other gynecologic concerns that can affect quality of life and s*xual health.

Pain during s*x is common, but it is not something patients should feel expected to accept. In many cases, there is an identifiable cause and effective treatment options are available when concerns are addressed early and openly.
