Fifteen years ago, a call went out for NICU nurses. The opportunity intrigued Liberty Rivera, but caring for the tiniest and most fragile patients felt intimidating. Today, she calls it one of the best decisions she's ever made.

"The NICU was my fit. I love being part of the lives of these families. It's so gratifying when a parent reaches out years later, saying I was there when their child was born."

💙 Step inside a day in Liberty's life and see how she cares for babies and families in the NICU: http://swedishnw.org/6185akCRX

Chloe is cancer-free! 🎉

At just 15 years old, Chloe was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in September 2025. Because of the aggressive nature of this type of cancer, she spent much of her journey in the hospital, facing every challenge with incredible strength and courage.

After a tough battle, 16-year-old Chloe has officially rung the bell, marking the end of her cancer treatment and the beginning of a new chapter.

Inspired by the nurses and caregivers who cared for her, Chloe now hopes to become a pediatric nurse herself. We couldn't be more proud of her resilience, determination and heart. We can't wait to see all she accomplishes in the future.

Congratulations, Chloe! 🔔 🎗️

Did you know atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a major risk factor for stroke?

For many people living with AFib, blood thinners can help reduce the risk of stroke. But for some patients, long-term medication may not be the best option.

Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Calif., is helping expand access to advanced stroke prevention options, including a minimally invasive alternative for certain patients.

More options mean more personalized care and more ways to help patients reduce their stroke risk.
