Mary Jane smiles for the camera, while seated on a patio chair outdoors, with plants behind her and a book in her hands.

As Mary Jane was preparing to go outdoors, she had trouble putting on her glove. She suddenly realized two of her fingers were paralyzed and her arm was tingling, and she knew something was wrong. “Take me to Alaska Regional,” she said to her husband. As soon as she arrived to the ER, a team appeared quickly and began delivering care.

Today, her life is back to normal. She cross-country skis in winter, and kayaks and tends her garden in summer. She knows she is lucky to have a full recovery, and that the fast action and excellent care in Alaska Regional’s ER contributed to her positive outcome.
