Keli is the kind of person who never slows down. Active, energetic and always up for an adventure, especially when it involves her grandson. But during a simple game of tag, everything stopped. She knew immediately something was wrong. With a history of ankle injuries, she could tell this one was different. Keli turned to Dr. Travis Wilson, an orthopedic surgeon at Banner Health.

"They just took care of everything for me, it was like having a travel agent for a fracture."

Watch Keli's full story and hear from Dr. Wilson about fractures, the road to recovery and what truly patient-centered orthopedic care looks like. This is why we do what we do. 💙

Share this story with the active, adventurous people in your life who deserve the very best care if something goes wrong.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, an important reminder to learn about lung cancer screening and the role early detection can play.

A low-dose CT scan may be recommended for people at higher risk of lung cancer. One factor providers consider is your pack-year history, which measures how much you've smoked over time.

🚬 What is a pack-year? Smoking one pack of ci******es a day for 20 years equals 20 pack-years. Smoking two packs a day for 10 years also equals 20 pack-years.

Screening recommendations consider your age, smoking history and how long it's been since you quit. If you have questions about your risk or whether screening may be right for you, talk with your primary care provider.

Learn what to expect from lung cancer screening: www.bannerhealth.com/healthcareblog/teach-me/lung-screening-what-to-expect.

Your heart has four valves that keep blood flowing in the right direction. When a valve becomes narrowed or starts leaking, your heart may have to work harder to pump blood throughout your body.

The good news? There are several treatment options available, and the right choice depends on your individual needs.

Heart valve disease treatment options like repair or replacement depend on valve type, severity, age and overall health. Learn more with Banner Health.
