 the new face of health awareness In March of 2014, Katie Stubblefield’s life felt like it was spiraling out of control.  Not only had the 18-year-old undergone multiple surgeries for gastrointestinal problems, but her mother had just lost her job and Katie herself had just had her heart broken by a cheating boyfriend. These stressors plus Katie’s “perfectionist” attitude led her to attempt to kill herself in the bathroom of her brother’s house in Mississippi using a .308-caliber hunting rifle. Katie miraculously survived.

The only way for her to lead a functional life again, in his opinion, would be if she underwent a face transplant. After that, it took three long years of countless hospital visits and careful planning for Katie to become the...
