Watch these dramatic stories of survival and learn how cardiac care has changed their lives.
John Peters
John was diagnosed with AFib in May of 2021 and was prescribed a blood thinner. He had a bleed not long after. Dr. Foster began looking for alternatives to the blood thinners and determined that the left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedure was the best fit. Now John is back to gardening and farming without limitations!
Dee McCroskey
Following a major heart attack, Dee went from nursing instructor to patient. Now after heart surgery and cardiac rehabilitation, she's bringing a new perspective into the classroom and her life.
Robin Morgan
When she started having excruciating pain in her arms, Robin knew something was terribly wrong and sought medical help immediately, which she credits with saving her life. Now she reminds others about the importance of paying attention and acting quickly.
Steve Wiley
When Steve was in heart failure, he found few options for treatment. Now after a clinical trial for a revolutionary device, he's back to living a normal life thanks to Tennova.

Like many people, Barbara didn't think she was having a heart attack. Luckily, her husband insisted she go to the hospital. Today, she's encouraging others to be more aware of their heart health.
Dale Weaver
Dale's arteries were severely blocked and he needed major surgery to prevent a massive heart attack. After a quadruple bypass, he's back to doing the things he loves.
