A research team at the Las Vegas Navy support center is breaking ground on a new way to treat war-stressed military personnel without relying on anxiety medication.
It was a miracle, the sisters remember, that the doctors seemed to make so routine.
On March 7, 2011, during medical procedures at University Medical Center, a kidney was removed from Darlene Graham and then transplanted into her sister Sharon Zink.
“The whole thing went just the way they said it would,” Sharon recalled.

Q I am 62 years old and recently started having balance problems. Is this a normal part of aging?
Guy and Nonna Russell know what it’s like to wait up to four hours at an urgent care facility. Their son Ryan, who was in a near-fatal accident four years ago, often has to go to urgent care facilities for treatment.

A couple of years ago, I sat in the office of Lynn Leany and heard him talk about the opportunity to receive Provenge, then a new drug therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer.
His battle with cancer continues today as he seeks out new drugs to keep him alive.
