A journey of intervention and transformation

Tony Pelaski's journey is a testament to the power of proactive healthcare and the impact it can have on saving lives. When his doctor recommended a calcium scan, little did Tony know that it would set the stage for a life-saving intervention.

The calcium scan revealed a looming threat, hidden within Tony's arteries. It was a ticking time bomb, poised to disrupt his heart's delicate rhythm. But armed with this crucial information, Tony and his healthcare team embarked on a journey of intervention and transformation.

Triple bypass surgery became the pivotal moment in Tony’s narrative—where a team of physicians, armed with scalpels and grafts, restored his heart. Tony is grateful for all those at Baptist who were part of his surgery and recovery.

“Baptist Health is my number one choice, now and in the future,” said Tony. “Their commitment to proactive care and attentive listening not only saved my life but it gave me a deeper appreciation for the days to come.”

Tony’s journey from a routine calcium scan to triple bypass surgery is more than a medical tale; it’s a testament to the profound impact of compassionate healthcare and the power of early intervention. It's a reminder that amidst life's uncertainties, there are beacons of hope—like Baptist Health—guiding us towards brighter tomorrows. And for Tony, triple bypass surgery wasn’t about fixing what was broken; it was a testament to his resilience and that even in small places, big things are possible.
