After giving birth to her son, Olivia Smoak experienced a life-threatening amniotic fluid embolism (AFE). She was transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla in Scripps' specially equipped ambulance with ECMO – an advanced life support system that temporarily takes over function of the heart and lungs – until she arrived at the hospital, where Scripps doctors provided lifesaving treatment. “When we can use ECMO to stabilize a patient, it gives us time to find and treat the underlying condition,” says Ayana BoydKing, DO, pulmonologist and critical care physician at Scripps Clinic. Thanks to Scripps’ advanced care capabilities and the expertise of her medical team, Olivia made a full recovery. Today, she’s turning her experience into purpose and hopes to join Scripps as a nurse practitioner. Learn more about her story here: www.scripps.org/8018li

Choosing health insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all. HMOs typically offer lower costs and coordinated care but require referrals and in-network providers. PPOs provide more flexibility and out-of-network options but often come with higher premiums. The best choice depends on your health needs, budget and how much flexibility you want in your care.
