Beverly Brake - "The pain started in my
chest and quickly spread throughout my upper body. At St. John’s they
told me it was a heart attack. I underwent an immediate angioplasty to
open two blockages in my artery and a blood clot. Thanks to St. John’s,
I’ve recovered completely and feel wonderful now."
