๐Congrats to Nick Wilson!๐
Last night he won the $1 million prize and the title of โSole Survivorโ on the 37th season of CBS's Survivor.
In her 30s Whitney Stevenson began experiencing shortness of breath but dismissed the symptoms. Eventually, she had pain so intense she drove to the ER. When she came to UK HealthCare her doctor ordered a new procedure called Volcano ComboMap testing.
Stevenson's procedure confirmed that she had microvascular disease, information that provided relief for her - she finally knew what was going on after seven years of trying to get an answer.
"Always fight for what you want to earn. Diligence is rewarded with success."
Can Nick Wilson outwit, outlast and outplay? Catch the UK alum on the season finale of Survivor tonight at 8!
What makes Kyndall so legendary? Born at just 360 grams, or just shy of one pound, she is the smallest surviving baby born at UK HealthCare.
Her doctors didn't think a baby that small could survive. But thanks to her fighting spirit and the staff at the UK Kentucky Children's Hospital she's happy, healthy and home for the holidays.
Since it was established in January, Find Help Now KY has had over 50,000 visits to the site and 18,000 searches have been performed.
On this week's episode of 'Behind the Blue' we spoke with Dr. Terry Bunn, the public health leader who worked to develop the site to help Kentuckians find help now! ๐ง
Itโs not about nicer buildings. Itโs about providing the innovative space that allows our people to thrive. And weโre not done. #KYCan
