❤️ Some connections in healthcare go far beyond clinical care

When a patient and her family felt an instant spiritual bond with Stormy Leazer, RN, they believed it was something greater bringing them together. That bond, filled with comfort, compassion, and faith, led Stormy to receive Blessing’s 118th DAISY Award.

Stormy became a light during one family’s most difficult moments, creating an impact that will be remembered forever.

Men living with an enlarged prostate now have access to a cutting‑edge treatment option right here at Blessing Hospital.

Aquablation® is a robotically-assisted, heat‑free waterjet procedure that removes excess prostate tissue with incredible precision.

Why this matters:
🌊 Heat‑free, water‑based treatment means less risk of damaging surrounding tissue
🤖 Robotic guidance + real‑time ultrasound provide minimal side effects
⏱️ Most patients only need an overnight stay due to the minimally-invasive procedure
👨‍⚕️ Performed locally by Blessing urologists Dr. Bradley Holland and Dr. David Lieber

“The robotic system uses artificial intelligence to help with the detailed planning of the procedure. As surgeons, we still have to precisely control the instruments, but these new techniques facilitate the process, making everything more accurate,” informs Dr. Lieber. “We are also streamlining processes outside the operating room before surgery and in the recovery room, making it possible for people to go home the same day, making their recovery better.”

🌟 “I feel like I went to sleep 20 years ago and just woke up.” 🌟

After surviving unimaginable loss and years of treatment‑resistant depression, Shelly Pruett was running out of hope until a new therapy at Blessing changed everything. With the help of Spravato, a new nasal spray used in the treatment of depression, Shelly began to feel joy again.

And she isn’t alone. Patients like Samantha, a survivor of severe trauma in her childhood and early adult years, are now living lives filled with courage, love, and contentment.
