Patient Stories
Robotically-Assisted Mitral Valve Repair Surgery Keeps Joe in the Band
Joe Santoro, 57, had been dealing with mitral valve disease for almost a decade when his cardiologist told him the new symptoms he had were caused by an additional heart condition – atrial fibrillation. His doctor advised him to undergo a procedure to treat the valve disease. Joe, a first-grade teacher and musician, decided to get a second opinion. He chose Cleveland Clinic Florida, where he met with Jose L. Navia, MD, Director of the Cleveland Clinic Florida Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute and Minimally Invasive Valve Program.

Two Tiny Miracles and the Nurses Who Helped Them Thrive
“Victoria Lyall, 25, went into spontaneous labor in the 32nd week of her pregnancy in November 2024. She knew she was at risk for this because she was carrying twins, but she didn’t think it would happen to her. She had been having a normal pregnancy, and she believed she would make it to at least 36 weeks.”

But Crystal will never forget when the Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital newborn intensive care unit (NICU) team arrived to transport him the 250 miles from the Jacksonville hospital where he was born home to Martin County, Fla.”
