Lisa Ramirez+FollowFort Worth study tests heart-saving implantA new kind of heart implant being tested right here in Fort Worth could change how we protect people from sudden cardiac arrest. Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital is part of a global study tracking patients with extravascular ICDs—devices that monitor and shock the heart back to life if it stops. Unlike older versions, these new ICDs are implanted outside the heart and veins, which means less risk of infection. With over 350,000 cardiac arrests happening outside hospitals each year in the U.S., this could be a real game-changer. Would you consider an implant like this for yourself or a loved one? #Health #BodyHealth #FortWorth00Share

jenna64+FollowFort Worth bets big on $100K teacher payFort Worth is making a bold move: teachers at six struggling schools could soon earn $100,000 base salaries, with principals topping out at $145,000. The district hopes this dramatic pay boost will keep experienced educators in classrooms that need them most. But there’s a catch—everyone has to reapply for their jobs, and the district is banking on extra state and federal funding to make it work. With average teacher pay in Fort Worth around $69,000, this is a huge leap. Will bigger paychecks really turn things around, or is this a risky gamble? What do you think? #Education #FortWorth #TeacherPay00Share
