What should have been a dream getaway became a nightmare when a car accident forced Kelsey O’Connor and her friend off the road and into emergency care in a foreign country.

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.

Matthew Wilkinson, MD, a surgeon with Saint Luke’s kidney and liver transplant program, and Erica Sparks, a transplant coordinator with Saint Luke's, discuss the transplant process and importance of organ donation.

While thousands linger on organ waiting lists, the national transplant network is ditching 40-year-old systems and struggling to remake itself. The Beacon talked with local health leaders about the state of organ transplantation today.

Anthony Weatherspoon, who received lifesaving heart and kidney transplants, is grateful for the gift of life this April.

Alexis Ellington has a renewed outlook on life after being the first Saint Luke's patient to receive a new cancer treatment called Bispecific T-cell Engagers therapy, or BiTE.

Saint Luke's is seeing success with a voucher program in collaboration with Kanbe’s Markets, a nonprofit organization that provides access to fresh, affordable, and healthy foods to help reduce food insecurity.

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.
