Hear from Our Patients

US Navy Veteran Beating the Odds of Rare Autoimmune Disorder Arlena Johnson was serving in the United States Navy when she was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica (NMO). The rare condition quickly took over her body. She returned home to Louisville for care at UofL Health. It was the worst case of NMO our doctors had ever seen, but she's beating the odds.
