Meet Bryan.

Bryan's story is about his long-time dance with Crohn's Disease and now his battle with intestinal cancer. It's a story of inspiration and spirit. It's a story of perseverance and partnership – the partnership between Bryan, his family and his medical team at Stormont-Vail HealthCare and Cotton-O'Neil Clinic.

We invited you to share your stories about how you or a family member got back to living with the help of the hospital, doctors and staff at Stormont-Vail and Cotton-O'Neil, all working together as one. We received some very compelling and special stories. Bryan's story garnered the most votes in our first "Get Back to Living" Campaign contest, and he has been awarded the grand prize – an iPad2. Thank you to Bryan and others who shared.

What the "Get Back to Living" Campaign is all about.

Stormont-Vail HealthCare launched a new campaign in the Spring 2011 to focus on how Stormont-Vail's integrated care model – where the hospital, doctors and staff all work together as one – provides patients and families with an environment of care that rivals any health system in the country.
