At 14, Izzi has faced many challenges with spina bifida, spending much of her childhood in the hospital. Thanks to pediatric urologist Dr. Malm-Buatsi and our team, she’s gained independence and now advocates for accessible playgrounds. We’re so proud to be a part of her journey!

Although Dr. Fete retired and moved across the country, he decided to continue receiving his care from colleagues at MU Health Care. After swift intervention following a blood test, his care team found the early stages of prostate cancer, saving his life.brnw.ch/21wEX3w

This is Not a Cure for the Common Cold is a favorite, as well as live show masterpieces Caney Mountain and St. Nick on the Fourth and a Fervor!

@hahatonka's Bloodshot debut came roaring out of the Ozarks with four-part harmonies and blistering rock. 'Buckle In The Bible' released OTD in 2007.

I was driving those two crocs to my lab for study in ~2006? At the border crossing, I didn't have to declare them, but the customs guards insisted I open the crate. So, we ended up spending an hour talking about crocodiles while they thumbed through their big customs book.
