- Kamia, sickle cell patient
Kamia was going to the hospital every four weeks with pain crises caused by sickle cell disease. Then in 2013, she received a stem cell transplantation at UI Health that cured her sickle cell disease - and she hasn't been hospitalized since. "I still have to pinch myself and say, 'This is real.'"

-Jason, 2-time stroke survivor
Jason was a Division I basketball player before he had a stroke. When he had a second stroke, his roommate knew the signs and immediately called 911. Jason was taken to the Comprehensive Stroke Center at UI Health, where his stroke was treated before it could cause permanent damage. Today, he's back on the court.
