🍂 A season of gratitude and the gift of life 🍂

When Reagan, a young mom and nursing student, faced kidney failure, her life became a balancing act of dialysis, school and caring for her baby. When it came time for a transplant, her mother, Gail, stepped forward and donated her kidney — giving Reagan renewed health and a brighter future.

“She’s my daughter. I didn’t even consider not giving her my kidney,” Gail said.

Their story is one of many as Sacred Heart Medical Center, in Spokane, Wash., marks a record 76 kidney transplants this year. Each transplant represents a family given more time, more hope and more holidays together.

To every donor, family and caregiver making these second chances possible: thank you.

💖 This story if you're grateful for the lifesaving heroes in your community.

New research from Providence’s Center for Environmental Stewardship shows that some inhalers we use to treat asthma and other lung conditions can have an impact on the environment.

Most of this comes from metered-dose inhalers, which use a type of gas called hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) to push out the medicine. These inhalers make up about 98% of inhaler-related carbon emissions in the U.S. 🌍

By learning more about this, doctors and hospitals can make smarter choices that help both patients and the planet. 🌿

Dr. Brian Chesebro and his team at Providence are leading this work — showing that caring for people also means caring for our environment. 💚

Gary is an outdoor sports photographer, a snowboarder, climber and hiker.

In 2023, his life took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He didn’t know if he would live to see another winter.

Dr. Jon Gerry performed a life-saving procedure at Providence Cancer Institute in Portland, Oregon. Two months later, Gary took a trip to Mt. Hood. His wife helped him strap on his snowboard.

“I’ve never been happier in my life to be on the snow. I made my goal.”

Cancer-free for 18 months, Gary can be found on the slopes nearly every day. 🏂
