- Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Imagine battling lung cancer for four years and then finding out you have a brain tumor. In August's Health Check report, an Omaha woman shares why she is turning to a unique radiation treatment. - In the Middle and in Charge
Thousands of women feel the twists and tugs. They care for their children and their own parents at the same time. - Driver Rehab
Loss of driving skills is something typically associated with advancing years but in reality people of all ages have conditions that can make getting behind the wheel a challenge. - Mental Health
A new facility for those dealing with mental illness is being called a place for hope and healing. One in four Nebraska families will need help. Lasting Hope Recovery Center is another place to turn. - Heart Screening
Picture a pear-shaped woman. Now picture one shaped more like an apple. Which is more at risk for heart disease? - TomoTherapy
A multi-million dollar investment is paying off big for cancer patients. Immanuel Cancer Center in Omaha is the first in the region to offer a form of radiation known as TomoTherapy. - Having a Change of Heart
When your heart valves don't work, your heart suffers. It usually happens in your late 40s or 50s and the symptoms can be common ones. There is a fix but that fix depends on the patient. - Colon Cancer Screening
When it comes to pap smears and mammograms, many women would never think of skipping one. So why don't we feel the same way about colonoscopies? - Guard Those Knees
It's a Catch 22 for women. We need to be active for good health, but at the same time we're up to eight times more likely than men to suffer an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury. - e-Focus
It sounds like something out of a movie: doctors and nurses who can see, hear, and treat hospitalized patients without ever going to the hospital. - The Fast Fix
Have you ever noticed how children seem to get sick on Friday, just after the doctor's office closes? Or how an important meeting pops up at the same time you were supposed to get a flu shot?
