It’s hard to believe we’re already so deep into 2025—and somehow, the holidays are here. Ready or not.

After 17 years working as a dietitian, the most common thing I tell my patients when discussing the holidays is, “Thankfully they come, and thankfully they go.”  

If you’re like me, I do well most months of the year in staying on track with my health and fitness goals. Better yet, I’ve noticed my habits becoming more habitual as I age. Even so, I’m reminded how hard it can be to get back into a comfortable routine after the holiday derailments each December.

TRENTON, Mo. — Gloria Coffman, a member of our environment services team at Wright Memorial Hospital, was honored as the hospital's Employee of the Quarter.

In 2011, Kelly McDaniel-Morales was 29 years old and seven months pregnant with her first daughter when she heard the words no expectant mother wants to hear: “You have cancer.”

KCTV talked with Kelly, her daughter Brooklyn, and Dr. Ruby Meierotto, breast radiologist at Saint Luke’s East Hospital, about her battle with breast cancer and journey to motherhood.
