Born with congenital heart disease, Christin Murphy, 41, was familiar with cardiology appointments, stress tests, and surgeries.

A new study co-led by a Saint Luke's researcher found that EMS practices for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are different in predominantly Black/Hispanic areas compared to mostly white areas.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month, and this week, we are talking with Sabrina Kidd, MD, about colon cancer screenings, treatments, and possible factors contributing to the rise in diagnoses among young adults.

According to the American Cancer Society, those under the age of 50 are experiencing an increase in colorectal cancer diagnoses, but also an increase in colorectal cancer deaths.

After years of life-threatening cardiac episodes and chest pain, Cindy Mager, 59, became the first Saint Luke's patient to undergo this innovative, life-saving procedure.

The American Cancer Society recommends people who are at average risk of colorectal cancer start regular screenings at the age of 45. While a large majority of deaths related to the cancer could be prevented, many people have never been screened.

New research shows the sooner a lay rescuer starts CPR on a person having a cardiac arrest at home or in public, the better the chances of saving the person's life and protecting their brain function.

A new study provides evidence that even among those who receive CPR, Black or female individuals are less likely to survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest than White or male individuals.

Survival rates for Black women are far worse after bystander CPR than for white men, according to a study published this month.

USA Today talked to Dr. Paul Chan about disparities found when analyzing the effectiveness of bystander CPR for cardiac arrest.
