This week’s Heart-to-Heart post is centered around Advocating for Change and features Brooke and Debbie Sturgis. In June, Debbie’s youngest daughter, Brooke, suffered heart failure and cardiogenic shock at the age of 19. She went into emergency surgery and later underwent a full heart transplant. Her transplant went well, but the cardiogenic shock took its toll on her kidneys. Now, after months of rehabilitation, dialysis, and a kidney transplant, Brooke can finally begin to put this behind her and heal with her family. Debbie took some time to answer a few of our questions and tell us more about their heart health story. Swipe to read more.
