We kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with an inspiring evening of community, remembrance and hope. More than 150 patients, physicians, caregivers and community members gathered to illuminate the health center in pink, launching a month-long reminder of the importance of breast health awareness and early detection.

The event also recognized more than 30 years of compassionate care through the Margie Petersen Breast Center, with speakers reflecting on the power of community support throughout the breast health journey.

Special thanks to lead sponsor Erewhon, along with Equine Therapy Malibu, Shutters on the Beach and Casa Del Mar, and contributors Sada's Flowers, Stage Labs and Oso Libre Winery for helping make the evening possible.

Fifteen years ago, a call went out for NICU nurses. The opportunity intrigued Liberty Rivera, but caring for the tiniest and most fragile patients felt intimidating. Today, she calls it one of the best decisions she's ever made.

"The NICU was my fit. I love being part of the lives of these families. It's so gratifying when a parent reaches out years later, saying I was there when their child was born."

Chloe is cancer-free! 🎉

At just 15 years old, Chloe was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in September 2025. Because of the aggressive nature of this type of cancer, she spent much of her journey in the hospital, facing every challenge with incredible strength and courage.

After a tough battle, 16-year-old Chloe has officially rung the bell, marking the end of her cancer treatment and the beginning of a new chapter.

Inspired by the nurses and caregivers who cared for her, Chloe now hopes to become a pediatric nurse herself. We couldn't be more proud of her resilience, determination and heart. We can't wait to see all she accomplishes in the future.

Congratulations, Chloe! 🔔 🎗️

Not every step forward is easy to see.

Maybe today feels a little lighter than yesterday. Maybe you reached out to a friend. Maybe you got out of bed, went for a walk or simply made it through a difficult day.

That's progress. ❤️

Held ahead of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, the event highlighted the importance of building a personal game plan for better health and early detection.

Thank you to cancer support services and Providence Saint John’s Cancer Clinics for hosting, and to the Ruth and Milton Berman Family Mentorship Fund, whose generosity helped make this special day possible.

Did you know atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a major risk factor for stroke?

For many people living with AFib, blood thinners can help reduce the risk of stroke. But for some patients, long-term medication may not be the best option.

Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, Calif., is helping expand access to advanced stroke prevention options, including a minimally invasive alternative for certain patients.

More options mean more personalized care and more ways to help patients reduce their stroke risk.
