Bunting is officially cured. In an incredible twist, the successful cells came from the exact same brother whose transplant failed 20 years earlier. Thanks to decades of medical advancements, Bunting is finally living pain-free.

Nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure and only one in four of these adults have their condition under control. This is a serious concern because high blood pressure is a primary factor or contributing cause to nearly 700,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. Jefferson is turning to its community health workers (CHWs) to help patients struggling with high blood pressure. Jefferson CHW Martin Hutchins explains how it works in this video. Talk to your clinician for more information about participating in the Blood Pressure Buddy Program.
