Teens receiving cancer treatment aren’t always well enough to go to their high school prom, so Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital caregivers brought a special prom night to them. Patients ages 15 and up were able to dress up in formal attire and dance the night away on Saturday night in the Eccles Outpatient Services Building at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, thanks to dedicated caregivers at the hospital who didn’t want the kid’s health challenges to disrupt a treasured high-school tradition: prom night. “Cancer robs our patients of so many typical life experiences as they go through treatment, and our team knew that a prom, right here at Primary Children’s, would be a great opportunity to try to rectify that,” said Dan Mangelson, pediatric cancer services director at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital. “The night was so special for all of us.”

In 2011, Maya Rimal was a patient at Primary Children’s Hospital who died while in our care following a series of avoidable safety errors. Maya would have turned 27 years old this year. After her passing, Maya's parents, Sofi and Satish Rimal, partnered with Primary Children’s to renew and strengthen our culture of safety and pursue our goal of zero harm. Each year, the Rimal family joins Primary Children's leaders and the Zero Harm team to pay tribute to Maya and honor Primary Children's caregivers who have helped improve safety through process improvement, an impact on culture, or a lifesaving good catch. Satish Rimal presented the 2023 Maya Rimal Safety Hero Award to Jacqueline Arbanas. Had her patient been allowed to stay asleep that night, he likely would not have woken up, or would have significant irreversible neurologic damage. His parents credit Jackie for saving his life. Karen Talbot, with Primary Children's Zero Harm team, said caregivers should all remember Jackie's words: "If [a patient's] Mom or Dad are telling you something is wrong, listen. They are right 99% of the time."

Colorado seasons each bring their own brand of weather, and Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette stands ready for whatever comes its way. Recently the National Weather Service recognized Good Samaritan Medical Center as a StormReady® Supporter. The hospital received the designation because it proved it has enhanced communication to alert caregivers about weather events and has scripted procedures to respond to those events. Good Samaritan system emergency manager Michael Ciavatta said the planning is designed to guide hospital caregivers before, during and after a severe weather event. Ciavatta started in his role in 2022, coming to the SCL Health hospital, now part of Intermountain Health, after a career in law enforcement and the National Guard. “This is a benefit to our hospital and to the community,” he said. “We have the plans and the processes in place and can show community members how we will continue to serve them even during severe weather.”
