Chest pain feels different for everyone – it can be a dull ache or a sudden, sharp stabbing sensation. Regardless of how it feels, it’s important to take chest pain seriously. If the discomfort sticks around, it could be a sign of a more serious, potentially life-threatening condition like a heart attack or a blood clot.

Last year across our broader HCA Healthcare network, our emergency rooms saw nearly 838,000 visits related to cardiac complaints. You know your body better than anyone. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. And if your chest pain is severe or accompanied by any of the symptoms shown here, seek emergency care immediately.

If you’re not feeling merry and bright this holiday season, you’re not alone. The holidays can be a joyful time, but they can also bring anxiety and emotional strain. Knowing the symptoms of depression can help you recognize when you’re feeling more than seasonal stress.

If you’re struggling with depression, these tips from the National Alliance on Mental Illness may help you manage it better so you can enjoy holiday festivities:

🎯 Be aware of your personal triggers.
✍️ Try journaling or writing a gratitude list to shift your perspective.
📅 Do your best to avoid overscheduling – it’s okay to say no.
🛑 Set boundaries with people who make you feel negative emotions.
🧘 Make time for relaxation, deep breathing or meditation to help ease stress.
🍷 Drink in moderation as alcohol can amplify negative emotions.

If you live in the U.S. and you’re in emotional distress or concerned about a loved one, you can also call or text the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or start a live chat with a crisis counselor at https://bit.ly/4oXJhfl any time, day or night.

🌟 Excellence in Compassion at Wesley Children’s Hospital 🌟
The wonderful volunteers from Lexi’s Lamb never fail to brighten the days of our littlest patients. This holiday season, they brought joy, creativity, and comfort through festive Christmas trees and decorating kits for children staying in our pediatric units.

Thanks to their 2025 Christmas Tree Fundraiser, 56 beautifully sponsored trees found their way into the hands of Wichita patients — each one a reminder that healing is about more than medicine; it’s about hope, connection and community.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Lexi's LAMB Foundation, whose mission to provide financial, emotional and material support to sick and special-needs children continues to make a profound difference. Their partnership with families and medical staff helps ensure that every child feels seen, supported and surrounded by care.

💛 To the Lexi’s Lamb volunteers: you are a true blessing to our patients and our hospital family. Thank you for making the season brighter.

🌟 Celebrating Excellence in Occupational Therapy 🌟
We are incredibly proud to recognize Lynette Hofer, OTR/L, who was honored as the Occupational Therapy Practitioner of the Year at this fall’s KOTA Conference!

This prestigious award reflects Lynnette’s superior contributions to advancing occupational therapy across Kansas — and we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate her impact.

“Winning this award means a lot to me because OT is not just my job but my calling, and it is an honor to serve our patients, often at the lowest point of their lives," Lynette said. "Being recognized by my peers as someone making a difference is a huge honor and reinforces that I'm right where I'm meant to be.” 💛

✨ Why Lynette Stands Out
Excerpts from her nomination highlight the remarkable professional dedication that sets Lynnette apart:
• She joined the KOTA Conference Committee in 2019, becoming an integral leader contributing in countless ways.
• She built a rich career across multiple care settings, including hospital and rehabilitation facilities.
• Lynette is known for her lifelong commitment to learning and advancing her credentials.
• She actively advocates for the profession, staying engaged in legislative developments and speaking up to protect and promote OT.
• Lynette frequently presents CEU sessions — her most recent session drew a full room, a testament to the strong connections she builds with colleagues.

Lynette’s passion, advocacy, and unwavering dedication embody the excellence Wesley Healthcare strives for every day. Please join us in congratulating her on this well-deserved achievement! 🎉👏 For more information on our inpatient rehabilitation services, visit https://www.wesleymc.com/patient-resources/plus-care-network/inpatient-rehabilitation-facilities
