This past May, a tornado tore through the home of cardiac sonographer Chelsie — turning life upside down for her young family in an instant.

But in the wake of the chaos, something powerful happened: across Deaconess Heart Hospital and beyond, a wave of support rolled in. From donations and clothing to PTO hours and pet care, her teammates brought the calm after the storm.

Because here, when one of us faces rough skies, we all show up — rain or shine.

Chelsie, your resilience is the heart of this story. We’re so glad you’re part of ours. 💙🌈

Big News from Deaconess Midtown!
Yesterday, history was made as Dr. Martin, Dr. Cherakupalli, and our incredible surgical team successfully performed the first-ever Tambe procedure at Deaconess!
The Tambe procedure — the first FDA-approved minimally invasive solution for repairing complex aortic aneurysms — is a game-changer. Until now, patients had to travel 2–3 hours for this advanced care. Not anymore.
This milestone is the result of extensive training by Dr. Martin and seamless collaboration with our surgical team. It’s not just a win for Deaconess — it’s a huge step forward for patients right here in our region.
The future of vascular care is here and it’s happening at Deaconess Midtown.
