Kim Kockler's mother and maternal aunts had tested positive for an inherited BRCA gene mutation linked to a high risk of breast cancer. For that reason, Kim’s family practice provider took extra precautions with an ultrasound, biopsy and further testing, where Kim learned she had a cancerous tumor.

She went through 20 rounds of chemotherapy, shrinking her tumor. Then, after discussing future treatment with her providers, Kim decided to have both breasts removed and then immediately began the breast reconstruction process.

Thanks to her certified breast cancer navigator, oncologist, surgical team, and physical and occupational therapist, Kim felt well cared for and supported throughout her cancer journey.

“I thoroughly enjoy celebrating each year of being cancer-free. If you get a breast cancer diagnosis, trust the process, stay positive and hopeful. I listened to my medical team, who were all there every step of the way. I have nothing but good things to say about my care at MercyOne,” Kim shared.

Everything that could go right went right during a rare, life-threatening stroke for 42-year-old Drew Strube. It began with a loud buzzing in his head after a sleep study, followed by dizziness, trouble speaking and growing paralysis on his right side.

The sleep center called 911, and Drew was taken to MercyOne. A CT scan revealed a basilar artery clot — a blockage in one of the most important blood vessels at the base of the brain. A clot-busting infusion was given, a thrombectomy performed and the life-threatening clot was cleared. Drew woke up physically and neurologically normal within three hours.

Today, he's back to coaching and working full-time, crediting the MercyOne stroke care team for his survival. Read his full story > https://bit.ly/3R41z3I
