Patients who receive umbilical cord blood transplants for blood cancers now live equally long regardless of their race, new research from UVA Cancer Center shows. The findings, from UVA Health’s Karen Ballen, MD, and collaborators, suggest that a previously identified survival gap for Black recipients has closed and that overall survival for all recipients has increased.

For some moms, breastfeeding can be difficult or impossible. The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine and Reaching Our Sisters Everywhere Inc. brought together families, community members, healthcare workers, and researchers to explore ways to overcome breastfeeding challenges. The results, published in the scientific journal Breastfeeding Medicine, provide important insights into the difficulties many parents face. “In this project, we asked the breastfeeding person themselves what is important to them, what they need in order to be successful," explained pediatrician Ann Kellams, MD, a UVA Health Children's lactation medicine specialist.

With the help of my amazing team at WES, we were able to serve over 40 students who were in need of vaccinations. 💉 As you may know, scheduling appointments in a timely manner has become increasingly difficult in our area, so we brought the Doctors and resources needed to our students! The next clinic is already in the works. I am feeling so grateful for this opportunity to make sure that our students are able to receive the education they deserve AND be healthy. Thank you UVA Health for supplying these incredible resources to our community! I am thrilled to be collaborating with such an amazing team of individuals. “Students must be healthy to be educated and educated to be healthy.” ♥️
