For years, surgeons placed implants for knee replacements in the same way for every patient. However, a new augmented reality software called ARVIS is changing that approach, allowing surgeons to tailor implant placement to individual patients. Nicholas Kennedy, MD, an orthopedic knee sports surgeon, has preformed over 50 surgeries using ARVIS within the last year. MultiCare Yakima Memorial is the only hospital in the Pacific Northwest with this technology. The software allows surgeons to map a patient's unique anatomy using trackers placed at specific points, creating a 3D virtual model of the patient's femur. This enables the surgeon to make precise cuts and place implants in a way that aligns with the patient's natural body alignment.

MultiCare primary care physician Rachel Safran, who has specialized in HIV care for many years, has seen how care has changed. Medications were not terribly effective and often were toxic, she said. “HIV quite honestly it was a death sentence in the 80s and 90s and people didn’t expect to live very long. But now people living with HIV can lead a totally normal life,” she said. Also a medical researcher, Safran helped develop a new HIV medication lenacapavir, which was approved by the FDA in 2022. The drug is specifically engineered to replace other drugs when patients become resistant to them over time. According to Safran, that need becomes greater the longer a patient has HIV. “It works in a totally different way than other drugs. And that’s essential because it can be added on to other medications if those are failing,” she said. Typically those who have had HIV for decades start to run out of options because their medications stop working. Read more on The Spokesman-Review .

After hearing a radio advertisement for MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital’s Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) — which helps prediabetic patients lower their risk of Type 2 diabetes — Elizabeth Garcia decided to sign up and get her energy, and life, back. Supported by generous Memorial Foundation donors through the Healthy Yakima initiative, the year-long program focuses on equipping participants with tools and knowledge to take control of their health and halt the disease’s progression. After completing the program and inspired by the change in her own health, she set her sights on becoming a facilitator. In 2019, Elizabeth achieved her goal, leading groups in English and Spanish as both a DPP and ACT Get Up, Get Moving! facilitator.
