SUMMARY: Congenital heart disease is a prevalent birth defect affecting millions in the U.S., usually diagnosed in infancy and requiring lifelong care. In St. Louis, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children‘s Hospital is the only facility certified in adult congenital heart disease, offering comprehensive monitoring and support throughout patients‘ lives. Dr. Ahmed highlights that the certification includes not just cardiology but also pregnancy care and mental health services. While many patients are diagnosed early, ongoing specialized care into adulthood is crucial for improving outcomes compared to past decades, providing crucial support for a better quality of life.

Cardinal Glennon is the only hospital in the St. Louis area with a certification in Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD).

SUMMARY: As Election Day approaches, Missouri experiences a surge in early voting, particularly in St. Louis County, where nearly 99,000 voters have already cast ballots. The no excuse in-person absentee voting has attracted large crowds; over 20,000 voted in one day recently. Neighboring Charles County reports nearly 26,000 early voters, with St. Louis City seeing more than 22,800 participants. Election officials note unprecedented interest and predict voter turnout could match or exceed the record 79% from 2020. With a week remaining, the enthusiasm for early voting is significantly higher than in previous elections.

From now through November 4, registered voters all across Missouri can cast their ballots without having to give any kind of reason, different from how it was done during traditional absentee voting.
