Storm Beasley, BSN, Stroke & Chest Pain Coordinator at Carolina Pines, sits down with ER physician Dr. Matthew Meier for a conversation packed with real insight, important warning signs, risk factors, and what to do when every second counts.

Whether you want to protect yourself, your parents, your spouse, or your friends, this is an episode everyone should hear. Tune in and test how much you really know about strokes.

We’re joined by Gabby Cho, who helps break down common concerns and what patients can realistically expect, offering clarity and reassurance around the screening process.

We also highlight the advanced breast imaging technology at Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center, including the GE Senographe Pristina™ - a next-generation 3D mammography system designed with women in mind to deliver exceptional imaging while prioritizing comfort. It’s paired with the Pristina Dueta™ Patient-Assisted Compression system which allows patients to actively participate in their exam by controlling part of the compression process - helping reduce discomfort and anxiety while still ensuring highly accurate imaging.

As the only facility in SC offering this level of technology, Carolina Pines remains committed to removing barriers to care and making preventive health more accessible for every person in our community.

In our latest episode of Pulse Check, we sit down with one of our own, Angelia Marlowe, RRT, as she shares her incredible journey as a living organ donor.

We’re honored to share Angelia’s story and hope it inspires others to learn more about the power of organ donation.
