A sore shoulder after lifting may seem like something to “work through” — but ignoring pain can make it harder to recover.

Whether it happened at the gym, on the job, or during everyday activities, getting an injury evaluated early can help you understand what’s going on and what to do next.

A mother's world is filled with sounds she never wants to miss. The day Shayna Roodman didn't hear her baby crying, everything changed.

For years, she lived with hearing loss that continued to worsen, making it harder to connect with the people she loved most.

Today, thanks to cochlear implants, Shayna is hearing sounds she thought she had lost forever.

Most meaningful of all? Hearing her 19-year-old sing.

The difference goes beyond hearing.

"It's amazing and overwhelming," Shayna says. "My quality of life is much better."

Is your child a picky eater? It can feel difficult to get your child the nutrition they need when they turn up their nose at anything other than buttered noodles and chicken nuggets. But the benefits to their behavioral, intellectual and emotional development make the struggle to help children develop healthy eating habits worthwhile.

Dr. Su Choo Chang, pediatrician at Beacon Medical Group Pediatrics Bristol Street, shares some practical tips to help parents entice their children to eat a variety of nutritious foods, building the foundations for a lifetime of healthy eating habits.

When you choose a cardiac rehabilitation program, quality matters.

Beacon is proud to have nationally certified cardiac rehabilitation programs at Memorial Hospital of South Bend, Elkhart General, Three Rivers Health, and Beacon Allegan hospitals.

These programs are certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR)—the highest national recognition a cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation program can achieve.

But what does that mean for patients?

AACVPR certification recognizes programs that meet rigorous standards for quality, safety and patient care. It’s one more way our teams demonstrate their commitment to helping patients recover, build strength and confidence, and get back to the lives they love.

If cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation is part of your recovery, ask your provider about a nationally certified Beacon program near you.
