🫀 Some heart attacks happen suddenly — intense, unmistakable and urgent.
⚠️ Others can begin quietly, with mild discomfort that’s easy to dismiss.

You might feel pressure or pain in your chest, shortness of breath, nausea, unusual fatigue or discomfort that spreads to your arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach. These early symptoms may come and go but should never be ignored.

Listening to your body and acting quickly can make all the difference. If you or someone you’re with experiences possible heart attack symptoms, call 911 right away — minutes matter.

🍼 Meet Cody and Katie — First-Time Parents 🧸

Katie was 29 weeks pregnant and on her way to her baby shower when the unthinkable happened. Her vehicle rolled, leaving her trapped upside down. The impact caused a placental abruption from the seatbelt — a life-threatening emergency for both mom and baby.

“In that moment, I didn’t care about myself,” Katie recalls. “I just kept saying, I’m pregnant — please make sure my baby girl is okay.”

Cody remembers how quickly everything changed. “Your life can flip in a second. One moment, I thought I was losing my family — and the next, we were in the care of UP Health System. That’s when we knew Katie and our baby were in good hands.”

From the emergency team to the Family Birthing Center and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Cody and Katie say every caregiver made a difference.

“The nurses, doctors, and NICU team were incredible,” they shared. “Today, she’s here and she’s healthy — and that’s all that matters.”

New option for AFib care — now available close to home. ❤️

UP Health System – Marquette is now offering pulsed field ablation (PFA), an advanced, minimally invasive outpatient procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) — the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm.

Unlike traditional ablation methods that use heat or cold, this new non-thermal technology uses pulsed electric fields to precisely target the irregular electrical signals that cause AFib. The approach is designed to improve efficiency while reducing the risk of damage to surrounding heart structures.

AFib affects millions of people and increases the risk of stroke, heart failure and cardiovascular-related hospitalizations. Symptoms may include heart palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest discomfort and lightheadedness — though some people experience no symptoms at all. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of serious complications and improve quality of life.

Bringing innovative technologies like pulsed field ablation to our region reflects our continued commitment to expanding access to high-quality heart care close to home — specializing in you.
