Andreas Story
I was five weeks post-partum and it was a typical Saturday of running errands and working around the house with my husband, Luke. I went out to the garage to get something and didn’t return. Luke found me unconscious across the threshold. He had taken CPR certification through work, so after putting the baby in his seat and calling 911, he administered CPR.

Influenza Outbreak Drives up eVisit Appointments
E-Visits do not require patients to go into a clinic to be seen in person by a care provider. Instead, they log on to their MyThedaCare secure web portal and answer several questions specific to their ailment. Within two hours of filling out the online questionnaire, a patient will receive a response from his or her physician, including a plan of care and a prescription, if needed.

Heart Disease is Number 1 Killer of Women
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, with 1 in 3 dying from a heart attack, stroke or congestive heart failure. While that statistic is startling so is the next one: only 20 percent of women think they will be affected by heart disease. That is why it is so important to increase awareness about women and heart disease.
Kevins Story
Once at the hospital, I underwent more tests. It was determined I needed catheterization and a stent which they inserted that very afternoon. The whole experience was terrific. I never had any real pain, just discomfort, and the communication throughout the stay was so helpful.

Blood Pressure Guidelines Lowered
Do you know what your blood pressure is and if it is low, normal or high? If you know the answer, you may want to check again. The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association revised what they consider to be a “high” blood pressure level last fall.
Annual Cervical Cancer Screenings Vital
Most women are well aware of the screening process for breast cancer: monthly self-checks, annual clinical breast exams and annual mammograms after turning 40.

Proper Form Reduces Shoveling Injuries
The season’s first heavy snowfall can be a literal pain in the back — or shoulder — for some people. Every winter, patients come in with lower back or shoulder pain tied to shoveling. Most injuries are caused by poor technique and failing to prepare before grabbing the shovel.
