Tim Teel didn't have just one brush with death; his heart stopped twice.

But highly-skilled medical teams brought him back from the brink, and now he's using that second chance to get others to take charge of their own health before it's too late.

For four decades, Teel has crafted fine musical instruments at Martin Guitar. His artistry almost ended two years ago after "not feeling quite right."

"I started having pain on my left side, including my back," Teel recalls.

Getting worse and worse, his wife took him to Lehigh Valley Hospital Carbon, part of Jefferson Health. He barely got into the ER.
