Two years ago, Meredith arrived at HCA HealthONE Swedish after a life-changing accident that involved broken bones and multiple skin and tissue grafts to save her leg. She wasn't sure if she would walk again. Today, she is back to her passion—and she’s using it to say "thank you" in the most incredible way.

At the recent Sanding Ovations Sand Sculpting Festival in Florida, Meredith unveiled a design titled "The Day I Lived." The sculpture features an angel sheltering three figures under her wing. Those figures are the likenesses of her care team: Dr. Benson Pulikkottil, Dr. Wade Smith and ICU Nurse Ally.

Meredith calls them her "true angels" who put her back together. While Meredith designed the piece, she is still regaining the physical ability to climb the high forms required for this scale of work, so the sculpting was executed by the talented Abe Waterman.

Meredith, thank you for this beautiful honor. We are so proud of your recovery and your "rose-colored glasses" view of life. Learn more about Meredith's recovery: https://bit.ly/4t3sdYz

This arctic blast is serious — doctors are saying frostbite can set in within minutes when skin is exposed. Even quick trips outside can add up faster than you think.

A few easy ways to stay safe:
• Layer up and cover exposed skin (hands, ears, face especially) 🧤🧣
• Limit time outside when temps and wind chills are brutal
• Watch for numbness or pale/waxy skin — those can be early frostbite signs
• Bring pets inside and check on neighbors who may need help

For years, Aisha thought heavy bleeding, pelvic pain and constantly needing to p*e were just “part of being a woman.” She planned her days around bathroom breaks, stopped drinking water before going out and tried to sleep through the discomfort.

She finally spoke up at her annual OB/GYN visit and everything changed. Her doctor, found a uterine fibroid and offered a minimally invasive option that didn’t require a hysterectomy. After laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation, Aisha felt relief almost right away. Her pain and bladder pressure eased, her bleeding improved and she was back to work within days. Most importantly, she got her freedom — and her life — back.

If heavy periods, pelvic pain or constant pressure are disrupting your life, don’t ignore it or assume it’s “normal.” 👉 Learn about Aisha’s journey and the treatment options that may be available: https://bit.ly/49QJH1x. Find a doctor at HCAHealthONE.com/Physicians.
