💚 A big thank you to Kurt Williams and WTKR News 3 for spotlighting an important conversation about gut health and cancer prevention.

As part of his ongoing prostate cancer survivorship journey, Kurt visited Sentara Health Registered Dietitian and breast cancer survivor, Shaye Arluk to try her “ancient gut healing smoothie” and learn more about the connection between gut health and overall wellness.

Shaye shared how ingredients used in Eastern medicine for thousands of years may help support a healthier gut—an important factor in disease prevention.

A little kindness can go a long way! 🌸💐 This week, Big Hearted Blooms stopped by, sharing beautiful repurposed floral arrangements with patients, visitors, and team members.

Through a partnership between the dedicated volunteers of the Norfolk Garden Club and Virginia Floral Design, flowers from weddings, corporate events, and other celebrations are given a second life as fresh bouquets. These thoughtful arrangements bring comfort, brighten spaces, and create meaningful moments of joy for those who need it most.

A heartfelt thank you to the volunteers and community partners who help make this special program possible. 🌷❤️

A routine dental exam changed Dave Knight's life. At 43, the anatomy and physiology professor was diagnosed with stage 4 tongue cancer.

After a 14-hour surgery and a long recovery, Dave found something unexpected alongside healing: a new purpose.

Inspired by the nurses who cared for him during his most vulnerable moments, he's now preparing to begin nursing school while continuing to teach full time.

"They gave me my second chance. Now I have the energy and drive to pay it forward and be the difference for someone else."
