This Ramadan, remember that your health journey may change how you observe, but it does not change your spiritual connection or your place in your community.

We know that for our patients who cannot fast, the focus often shifts to other meaningful ways to honor the holy month—through fidya (charity), prayer, and the shared joy of breaking bread with loved ones at Iftar.

Ramadan Mubarak, and may you find peace and connection in your celebration this month, whatever it looks like!

This Presidents’ Day, we remember a specific moment on July 30, 1965.

That was the day President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments, creating Medicare and Medicaid.

With the stroke of a pen, he changed the landscape of American healthcare. He ensured that our seniors and those with disabilities wouldn't have to face illness without resources.

His action continues to impact our patients’ lives today, who are able to access care and live their best lives thanks to his leadership.

“Heart Failure.”

When you hear those words, it’s easy to assume the heart has simply stopped working. But in reality, it means the heart is working harder than ever to keep up.

For our patients, it isn’t just about the heart – it’s about the breath. The fatigue.

Our goal is to help you breathe easier, so you can focus on the moments that fill your heart, rather than what your muscle is doing.
