Every year, nearly 40,000 babies are born at Intermountain hospitals — and many of them have connections to you, our caregivers! A recent internal poll found that 62% of the nearly 900 caregivers who participated in the poll were born at Intermountain hospitals and 76% had children born at our hospitals! This week, we're sharing some of their stories! Jessica Foutz was born at Orem Community Hospital and frequently came to the hospital to volunteer with her grandma as a child, which started her passion for healthcare and was the reason she became a nurse. “Working at OCH was my dream job, and I was ecstatic when I was offered a job as a Women's Center nurse there right out of nursing school.” Jessica delivered all three of her children at Orem Community and was on shift when her water broke with her first two babies.

If you have a child, know a child, love a child...pay attention! EIRMC is the first (and only!) hospital in Idaho to earn the "Expert" designation for Pediatric Care Readiness, the highest level from the state of Idaho Emergency Medical Services for Children Program (Idaho EMSC). This speaks volume about the quality of pediatric care in our ER. Here's a rundown on why we earned this amazing designation: - EIRMC has a pediatric ER just for kids and their families. - We have pediatric- sized equipment for children of all ages. - We have a Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator (PECC) involved in care for kiddos. - ER nurses are trained in pediatric advanced life support, emergency nursing pediatric course (that's not standard in most ERs, by the way!). Where you go matters. It's important that children been treated in an ER with the most capability to care for them. #TakeMeToEIRMC See Less

When one half of a couple needs nursing home care, it can take an emotional toll on all involved. And when that time comes, families deserve a nursing home team who are partners on the journey of caregiving. Critical to that partnership are communication, trust, and involvement. When one spouse needs nursing home care, it’s not an act of “giving up.” Instead, it’s quite the opposite: it’s providing that loved one the care and quality of life they deserve, through adding quality, qualified bench depth, capability, and capacity. It’s a partnership of compassion. Make sure you find the right partner for that caregiving.

Kyanna Sanchez, pursuing a degree in Nursing, was inspired by her mother, who is a nurse, and wanted to follow in her footsteps. "Like her, I aspire to be the person who helps make a difference in someone’s life. The person who helps a mother return home to her children, offers a comforting hand to a young child in pain, or acts like a family member to the patient who has no one’s support," she said. Kyanna is this week's UTRGV Profiles in Excellence student. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g-e99Zhi #utrgvpie #utrgvprofilesinexcellence #utrgvnursing
