Talk about a birthday surprise! Boone Baby mama Aubrey gave birth to her son, Franklin, on May 16th—her own birthday. During her delivery, she discovered that not only would she be sharing her birthday with her newborn, but also with two members of her care team: nurse Taylor and scrub tech Lilli!

With four people in the room all born on the same day, May 16th became even more memorable. It’s a rare and heartwarming coincidence that made Franklin’s arrival one nobody will soon forget.

Happy Birthday to Aubrey, Franklin, Taylor, and Lilli—and congratulations to Aubrey and her growing family!

At 67 years old, Ron Hein thought he was healthy. He walked daily, ate well, never smoked, and had no symptoms of heart disease. But one preventative screening changed everything.

A calcium score screening revealed severe plaque buildup in Ron’s arteries, leading to life-saving bypass surgery before he ever experienced a heart attack.

Now, Ron is back to walking, playing pickleball, and sharing one important message: Don’t wait. Screening matters.
