A Virginia couple renewed their vows in the same hospital chapel where they were married fifty years ago. 💍

Ricky and Debby Dishon were married at LewisGale Hospital Pulaski, part of LewisGale Regional Health System in March ,1976 after their pastor became ill. He left his hospital room, in his pajamas, and married the couple in the chapel.

This March, Ricky and Debby returned to the hospital to celebrate their milestone anniversary with a vow renewal ceremony. All four of their children were present, and one of their sons officiated the vow renewal.

The couple's tie to the hospital extends beyond their marriage. In the early 1990s, Debby was a dedicated RN in LewisGale Hospital Pulaski's emergency room. She cared for the Pulaski community for more than 30 years.

During her career, she received two DAISY Awards and the prestigious Frist Humanitarian Award, a reflection of the compassion and care she brought to every shift and complete strangers.

Please join us in congratulating Ricky and Debby on 50 years of marriage and a beautiful return to the hospital where it began. 💙

If you recently welcomed a new baby, congratulations! 👶 This is an exciting time, and your recovery is an important part of the journey. After giving birth, your body needs time to heal. If you had a delivery (C-section), recovery may take a little longer and require extra care.

Here, Dr. Cindy Celnik, chief medical officer for HCA Healthcare Women’s Services, shares what you can expect in the weeks ahead and helpful tips to support your healing.

While you are recovering, seek emergency care if you experience severe pain, fever, heavy bleeding or other concerning symptoms. For questions about your recovery and ongoing care, talk with your obstetrician or schedule an appointment with one of our experts: https://bit.ly/4sG5FLU

When Ashley discovered she needed emergency surgery at 26 weeks pregnant, everything changed in an instant.

During an unexpected trip to Henrico Doctors’ Hospital’s emergency room, part of Henrico, Parham & Retreat Doctors' Hospitals, Ashley and her wife, Kathryn, learned that she needed emergency surgery and their baby, Willow, was going to be delivered 14 weeks early.

Willow was born at 1 pound, 11.5 ounces and was immediately transferred to the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). What followed were uncertain times, long nights and 100 days in the NICU, but through it all, Ashley and her family felt supported.

“The care team in Henrico was phenomenal from day one to day 100,” Kathryn said. “They weren't just nurses. They were human beings as well. They treated us as if we were family.”

Today, Ashley and Willow are healthy, and their story is one of strength, compassion and the incredible care that carried them through.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Arthur Shepard, NICU medical director, and the NICU team at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital for the support, expertise and kindness they gave this family every step of the way.

🧠 A can shift from silent to serious in moments, which is why knowing the warning signs matters.

Brain aneurysms may develop without symptoms, making it important to pay attention to changes in how you feel. A sudden, severe headache is the most common warning sign and should never be ignored. Acting fast can make all the difference.

Each year, hospitals across our broader HCA Healthcare network provide care for approximately 12,000 patients with aneurysms and perform more than 3,000 procedures — supported by advanced tools to help deliver the best possible outcomes.

If you have aneurysm risk factors or concerns, talk with your doctor. If you experience a sudden, severe headache, don’t wait. Call 911 immediately. Know where your nearest emergency room is before you need it: https://bit.ly/3Q33LYn

💙💚 Living donation makes it possible for healthy people to donate a kidney, part of their liver and certain other organs and tissues, helping others receive the transplants they need as soon as possible. According to the Organ Procurement & Transplantation Network, the number of living donor transplants has continued to grow in recent years, with more than 7,000 taking place nationwide in 2025 alone.

HCA Healthcare, our broader network of care, is a leading provider of living donor kidney transplants, performing 352 of these transplants last year. In total, our caregivers performed 1,324 organ transplants in 2025.
