Matt Holliday Teams with Wash U's Siteman Cancer Center

The "Cancer Doesn’t Take a Holliday" promotion is urging people to get checked for colon cancer.

Matt Holliday, outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, is teaming with the Siteman Cancer Center to promote colon cancer screenings. Kathy Holliday, mother of Matt Holliday, was diagnosed with colon cancer last year.  She and her son are teaming up with the Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine, where Kathy was treated, to encourage colon screenings for anyone age 50 and older. “It could save your life,” says Kathy Holliday, who is cancer free after being treated by Washington University surgeon Steven Hunt, MD. Colon cancer strikes 1 of every 20 U.S. women and men in their lifetimes, according to a Siteman press release. Most people survive the disease if it’s discovered early. Matt …

This is wonderful! I am a Colorectal Cancer survivor. When I was 50, I didn't want York have a colonoscopy. So, instead I got Colorectal Cancer! African Americans should start having screening colonoscopies at age 45, according to the American Cancer Society. Screening colonoscopies are for those with no symptoms. The main early symptom of Colorectal Cancer is...well, there is no early symptom. …   more ›

St. Louis Cardinals Don't Expect Chris Carpenter To Return In 2013

The team announced Tuesday that the veteran pitcher is still dealing with effects of previous injury that sidelined him for most of 2012. Mercy doctors will likely be involved in evaluating what happens next.

Sad news out of the St. Louis Cardinals front office today — the Mercy partnership with the St. Louis Cardinals as the team's official medical provider will get a high-profile start. The team announced Tuesday that Chris Carpenter, sidelined for most of the 2012 with thoracic outlet syndrome, will likely not pitch in 2013 after having trouble with offseason workouts. In a news conference broadcast on local media outlets, Cardinals VP and General Manager John Mozeliak announced that Carpenter would "utlize the Mercy network" among others in finding a way forward, after the player notified the team Friday that he was unable to throw at a high velocity after otherwise having had "a normal offseason," according to Mozeliak. Mozeliak said there…

Now that his baseball career is over, I wonder if Chris wants to go into modeling. One thing for sure, though, he certainly won't need money. As long as he avoids a divorce. The shyster lawyers would have a field day getting a king's ransom in alimony/child support for his "poor" wife.   more ›

News Nearby: St. Louis Cardinals Announce Mercy Medical Partnership

The health care provider is also nearing an announcement of a location for a stand alone sports medicine center.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Mercy health care unveiled a partnership Tuesday making the Chesterfield-based firm the major league baseball team's "official Medical Provider." It won't preclude a player from seeking out their own treatment elsewhere so if a pitcher wants a second or third opinion, or to have surgery performed elsewhere by the likes of a Dr. James Andrews, based in Alabama, they will continue to have that option.  But the arrangement gives the team, minor league squads and employees on the business side of the organization, access to Mercy doctors, tapping into a wider umbrella of care. Mercy doctors already serve as the team physicians for the Cardinals' Double-A team in Springfield.  "You hear about things making headlines …

Should The New Mississippi River Bridge Be Named After Stan Musial?

A KMOX petition campaign is gaining steam and prominent Missouri State Senators are backing the idea with legislation.

In the days since Stan Musial passed away Saturday night, tributes have poured in from around St. Louis, the baseball world and beyond. Everyone, it seems, has a Stan Musial story. He may already have a statue outside Busch Stadium, but something even bigger could be on the way. KMOX Radio has started a petition campaign urging the Governors of Missouri and Illiniois to name new bridge spanning the Mississippi River in Musial's honor. KMOX reports the bridge will be finished next year. Late Tuesday afternoon, State Senators John Lamping (R-Ladue) and Eric Schmidt (R-Glendale) confirmed that they had filed legislation on the issue. Lawmakers in both Missouri and Illinois must agree on the official name of th bridge. Visitation for Musial, …
