When St. Louisan Bill Goodfriend was diagnosed with chordoma, a rare spinal cancer, he faced a long, uncertain road. Surgery at Siteman Cancer Center saved his life. Now, months later, he’s walking, traveling, and rediscovering what it means to heal — one day at a time. Full story in the comments.

🩷 Dr. Tish Singer walked away from hospital medicine to reimagine breast care — and built her own clinic to do it.

Her new practice, Shero Imaging in Creve Coeur, combines advanced technology with deeply personal care. Patients receive same-day results, optional same-day biopsies, and comfort-focused design that feels nothing like a hospital.

“I didn’t feel valued in the system,” Singer says. “Now, I finally feel like I’m practicing medicine the way I always wanted to.”

I'm guessing this group scored pretty good on their SAT's.

🕊️ When St. Louis author Clare Kinberg found her Aunt Rose’s death certificate, she uncovered a secret that had been hidden for generations.

In the 1930s, Rose — a white Jewish woman — married Zebedee Arnwine, a Black man. For that, her family cast her out and erased her story. Now, in “By the Waters of Paradise,” Kinberg connects that lost family history to broader stories of racism, antisemitism, and resilience — and to her own multiracial Jewish family today. MaTovu
