The Frank and Linda Yartz family came together from Florida and New York to vacation in Zion National Park and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, Linda fell while hiking in Snow Canyon and badly tore up her hand. The family was staying in a home on the east edge of Washington, and Linda’s husband is a veterinarian. “We drove back to the house initially thinking maybe Frank could fix it up, but quickly learned we’d need the ER,” said Linda. “You could see bone. We weren’t far from Intermountain’s new Hurricane Emergency Room, so we drove there." Dr. Dirk Slade and his medical assistant, Mahgen Ault, were getting close to the end of their day when Linda arrived. “They were so awesome and said if we didn’t mind waiting they wanted to take care of it that day,” Linda said. “They stayed late after a busy day just to take care of me, and I’m from out of town! Dr. Slade adjusted some stitches in my middle finger to allow more flexibility and helped preserve some skin that would have otherwise died. I am so grateful.” Linda continued, "I really can brag about all of your facilities. Everyone was extremely helpful, kind, and upbeat -- from Hurricane Emergency to the doctor’s office. I get good care in Florida, but this was above and beyond. Dr. Slade even called to check on me afterward. I can't say enough about how good Dr. Slade, Mahgen and the team at Hurricane. We have greatly enjoyed this beautiful country and the wonderful people who live here."

When Nevada resident Maggie Caracciolo realized her symptoms weren’t the stomach flu but multiple organ failure, she and her husband decided distance wasn’t going to stop her from getting the best care possible. Maggie has managed her hypertrophic cardiomyopathy since she was a teenager by following doctor’s orders. Then, in June 2023, she found herself in extreme pain and assumed she was suffering from the stomach flu. Her local healthcare professionals quickly determined it was much more serious, and she needed to get to a facility that could provide her with a kidney or liver transplant. Maggie’s husband Pete had heard of Intermountain Health through his professional associations. After doing some research, he knew bringing Maggie up to Salt Lake City would be the best decision for her critical condition. “Because of the care team’s diligence, Intermountain saved Maggie’s life,” said Pete. “This whole thing was a miracle.”
On April 1, 2022, Intermountain Health and SCL Health officially became one organization. After the legal paperwork was signed, we began processing what this meant for us, our patients, and our communities. Celebrations happened. Leaders rounded. Questions were asked. We started learning about one another, and we learned our passions, values, and dreams for the future were very much the same. Growing our system brings more talents and resources to improve the health of more communities. It also brings more opportunities for our caregivers to grow in their careers and move within our organization. Two of the many caregivers who’ve transferred to new regions and roles share how they’ve experienced change and growth in our new system below. #wearebettertogether
This week, we celebrate Healthcare Volunteer Week and honor the selfless individuals who give their time and energy to support our patients and communities. Thank you for your dedication to making a difference in the lives of others! #HealthcareVolunteerWeek #ThankYou
iAct, our caregiver volunteer impact match program, is designed to support our communities by encouraging our caregivers to get involved and give back. For every hour our caregivers volunteer, they earn 16 community cash points, and each community cash point is the equivalent of $1. Community cash points they earn are then donated to an eligible cause of their choice at the end of the year. These acts of service are the epitome of our value: We serve with empathy. See how Ashley's volunteerism with Share Parents of Utah is helping families after loss. #weservewithempathy
