Saint Luke's Rehabilitation Institute's newest staff member is making an immediate impact on patient care this year. Henli is a two-year old facility dog, highly trained to work in clinical settings alongside licensed therapists.

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.

Two years after an intern presented on the clinical and emotional benefits of service animals, the Rehabilitation Institute is delighted to introduce the world to Henli, a highly trained dog with a knack for comfort and connection.

When Debbie O’Neal was diagnosed with heart failure at 75, she feared her life was ending. She was the same age that her mother had been when she died of heart disease.

For people age 60 or older, or who have a family history of heart disease, one simple test and a matter of minutes can determine the potential risk of a future heart attack.

The Wall Street Journal invited Dr. James O’Keefe, MD, director of preventive cardiology at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute, to explain the potential risk and share tips on how you can protect your heart during the big game.

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.

Dr. Tracy Stevens and Dr. Anna Grodzinsky joined the America's Healthcare Advocate podcast to talk about heart conditions in women.

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.
