Becoming the Story

Loriana Hernandez-Aldama went from telling everyone else's story to "becoming the story." In 2014,her high-profile career as an Emmy award-winning journalist, news anchor and health and wellness expert took an unexpected, near-fatal turn when she was diagnosed with leukemia (AML).A year-long hospitalization and separation from her two-year-old son followed, forcing Loriana to search deep within and reflect on the many missed warning signs from the stresses of her career. Five years later as Loriana celebrated a major milestone of surviving leukemia, she got the most unexpected gift: breast cancer. What she discovered were more health disparities and voids in the health care system. Now Loriana is sounding the alarm bells and sharing her personal journey across the country about the RETURNS of "prioritizing your own well-being," the Power of PREHAB, and how, through wellness, we can strategically position ourselves for success.
