Janette Platter is the community chaplain at Saint Luke’s Bishop Spencer Place, a vibrant senior living community just steps from the Country Club Plaza. But in early 2025, she was just another mom seeking the very best care for her child. Fortunately, she knew it wasn’t too far away.

Kirsti Millar, a 35-year-old of Kansas City, was 23 weeks pregnant with her second child in early 2023 when her water suddenly broke. What should have been a season of joy and anticipation became a medical emergency.

A new study co-led by a Saint Luke's researcher found that EMS practices for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are different in predominantly Black/Hispanic areas compared to mostly white areas.

Ingram's talked to Dr. Marc Roth and Blake Buzard with Saint Luke's Hospital Center for Precision Oncology about the rapid pace of advances in precision medicine.

More than 10 years after his diagnosis, he’s helping other people with the same rare cancer to hold on to hope.

New research shows the sooner a lay rescuer starts CPR on a person having a cardiac arrest at home or in public, the better the chances of saving the person's life and protecting their brain function.

A new study provides evidence that even among those who receive CPR, Black or female individuals are less likely to survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest than White or male individuals.

Survival rates for Black women are far worse after bystander CPR than for white men, according to a study published this month.

USA Today talked to Dr. Paul Chan about disparities found when analyzing the effectiveness of bystander CPR for cardiac arrest.

TCTMD talked to Dr. Paul Chan and Dr. Anezi Uzendu about the new study's findings.
