While the mortality rate for breast cancer in the U.S. has significantly declined from its peak in 1989, incidence among younger women has steadily increased each year since 2001, according to the American Cancer Society.

After months of persistent pain in her left hip, 37-year-old Andrea Cole of Lee’s Summit finally found answers thanks to Megan N. Mayer, MD, and Rockhill Orthopaedic Specialists.

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.

For more than a decade, hip pain slowly chipped away at the life Clark Halferty once loved. That was until the treatment team at Rockhill Orthopaedic Specialists showed him that a pain-free life was possible.

When Karie Labelle first brought her teenage daughter, Gabriella, to Rockhill Orthopaedic Specialists, she never expected the visit would eventually lead to a life-changing surgery of her own.

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.

According to the National Cancer Institute, about 40% of women have dense breast tissue, which makes it more difficult to find breast cancer early.

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.

Dr. Mary Mitchell, chief of breast radiology at Saint Luke's, talks to KSHB about what dense breast tissue is and how it impacts your risk of developing breast cancer.
