St. Louis spine surgeon: ‘We have the legal responsibility, but no authority’
John Peloza, MD, has been a fellowship-trained spine surgeon for more than 30 years, long enough to have watched the specialty transform since the early 1990s. For most of his career, he has practiced with Midwest Orthopedic Spine Specialists in St. Louis. Recently, he launched a second, cash-only venture called Peloza Spine, an insurance-free practice that treats patients from across the country and is not bound by payer restrictions — including, he said, procedures the FDA has not specifically approved, such as multilevel cervical and lumbar disc replacement and hybrid disc replacement fusions.

Chesterfield Medics Bring Lifesaving Blood Right to the Scene
When a major crash or medical emergency hits in Chesterfield, paramedics with the Monarch Fire Protection District can now start blood transfusions before the ambulance ever rolls through hospital doors. The district has begun stocking blood and plasma on EMS captain vehicles so crews can treat patients with severe bleeding from car wrecks, childbirth complications and other life-threatening emergencies on the spot. Officials say getting “hospital-level” care onto neighborhood streets cuts precious minutes in situations where those minutes can decide whether a patient lives or dies.

New center helps trauma survivors heal
For survivors of violent crime, healing often requires more than counseling. Many struggle with post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety while also facing practical barriers such as transportation, housing instability, financial hardship or distrust of traditional institutions. Those challenges can prevent people from getting the care they need long after the immediate crisis has passed.

ThriveLink’s founder says St. Louis is the place to be for a health care startup
Kwamane Liddell is not a typical St. Louis boomerang. A Chicago native, he says his ties to the region took root a little later in life while studying for a master’s degree in health administration (and later law degree) at Saint Louis University. His career took him to the West Coast, though, before a 2022 Arch Grant award brought him and the company he founded to St. Louis for good.
