Virtua makes its TV debut in "Changing Lives"
Changing Lives is unlike any medical TV show you've ever seen. It's a documentary that features real patients, real doctors and real nurses. And they're all from Virtua Health.
It shows how their medical conditions affect their lives and those of the people who care for them.
Like Maria, a mother fighting breast cancer who's living for the tomorrow of her children. And Maria's nurse Regina, a nine-year breast cancer survivor who comforts Maria before surgery.
And Arch, an 82-year-old man who needs healthy knees to maintain his property — and stay ahead of his wife's "honey-do" list.
There's Mark Testaiuti, MD, a neurosurgeon who helps relieve a patient's crippling pain and give her back control of her life. And Scott Schoifet, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon who believes there's no greater job in the world than helping patients.
There's Ron Librizzi, DO, a high-risk maternity specialist who helps care for Kelly during a 10-week hospitalization and the emergency delivery of her triples. And finally, Diane Gillum, MD, a breast surgeon who helps her patients win the fight against breast cancer.
Follow the patients are they move from diagnosis to recovery. Experience their pain, fear, relief, hope and courage. Learn from their doctors about the techniques and technologies that are transforming treatments. And meet the nurses and staff whose skills and compassion comfort patients and families through hospitalization and beyond.
It's an experience that you won't soon forget. It's the Virtua experience.
