Experiencing signs of a stroke, Roger Vial of Red Oak, Iowa, went to his local hospital, which was a telestroke center, and it changed his life.

The Nebraska Medicine Telestroke Program provides patients in rural areas access the expert stroke care from Nebraska Medical Center physicians.

We are sharing Roger's story today, in honor of World Stroke Day. Learn about the signs of stroke and the teamwork that potentially saved his life. Thank you to our partners at Montgomery County Memorial Hospital. And remember: BE FAST!

Our nurses have huge hearts and serious skill with glue guns!

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the NICU crew carefully creating the costumes to make our Halloween photo shoot special for our tiniest patients and their families. So much thought went into every detail of this year's storybook-themed costumes. The nurses also donated money so that each child would receive a copy of the book that inspired their costume!

Serious Medicine. Extraordinary Care. in action!

Once upon a time in the land of Nebraska Medical Center, there lived some tiny and mighty patients ready for their first Halloween!

In the NICU, Hallow's Eve is always sweet and never scary! This year, the nurses decided on a special theme: Storytime in the NICU!

Each baby's costume was inspired by a beloved storybook. The nurses handmade the costumes (some lovingly crocheted!) and donated money so each baby could receive the book to match their costume. We can't think of a better treat than a book!

Thank you to March of Dimes Family Support Program for helping with the Halloween festivities each year!

Do you see your favorite book? We hope so!

And they all lived happily ever after!

Happy Halloween from our tiniest patients!
