A Jacksonville brother and sister duo are using their close relationship to help save lives at UF Health.
When Brian Brown is bringing patients into UF Health Jacksonville, he can call his sister for help.
“Probably about six months ago, and he was like, Oh, I had a patient that had like, These signs and symptoms, and I'm like, Yeah, that's signs of a stroke. And he's like, you know, I just had that tunnel vision and wasn't thinking that, but I'm glad that you said that. Because whenever he got him to the hospital, it really was a stroke," Andrea Koller. Andrea Koller works as an emergency medicine charge nurse at UF Health Jacksonville. Her brother Brian Brown is a firefighter and paramedic for Baker County. The two Jacksonville natives realized that after years of sister-brother-bonding, their communication is quick and direct, a perfect combination when working in healthcare.
