Intermountain Healthcare is providing vital funding to Weber State University to help the Ogden university increase the number of students accepted into its programs and build the foundation for future programs. The funding of more than $1 million will help support Weber State’s new physician assistant program, the Diversity in Healthcare scholarship program, and the Office of Community Development Ogden Civic Action Network, better known as OgdenCAN. “Weber State University has been a stalwart for education, improving the community and helping to provide the next generation of healthcare providers. “We are proud to assist them in their work,” said Judy Williamson, RN, administrator of Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital.
After Annette Klinger, APRN, lost her daughter and suffered extreme head injuries in a brutal accident that also resulted in the amputation of much of her right arm, she was told she’d have the mental capacity of a fifth grader. With serious short-term memory problems, her career as a labor and delivery nurse, and her training to become a midwife was over. And yet she went on to Marysville University of St. Louis to become a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and was the valedictorian of her class. She also attended the University of Utah where she graduated with a doctorate in nursing in clinical leadership earlier this year. She managed to do all of this, not by focusing on her own need to succeed, but on her desire to help others facing dark times find hope. “When you’re in a dark place sometimes all you can do is survive,” Annette says. “You’re just trying to make it through the day. But there’s also a point that it all becomes a choice. Eventually you have to change from a victim’s role to a role where you’re just taking back your life.”

Facilities leaders’ recent quick response to a restroom flooded with smelly sewage at the Spring Valley Women’s Health Clinic in Nevada kept the clinic open to see almost 100 patients. “I saw Geno walk in, and he jumped in saying, ‘Let’s just figure this out,’” says Sharon Lawrence, practice manager. “It just made it better to have additional support from our leadership team and facilities. I called my director and said, ‘He’s over here running the wet vac. We’re going to stay open. It was huge having their presence here and not having to worry about what this looked like on the other side. I can’t say enough about Geno and his hands-on approach.” “It was yet another example of Geno and his team partnering with the practices to support patient care,” says Sloan Albert, operations vice-president in Nevada. “They’re consistently responsive and customer focused. Geno personally came out to the site to ensure work was done quickly and the fewest possible patients were impacted by the flooding.”

A Herriman, UT man is alive and doing well after doctors at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray performed a life-saving heart procedure using new, innovative technology that allowed them to repair the man’s badly damaged heart vessels without having to perform complex open-heart surgery – a lengthy procedure that he likely wouldn’t have survived. This marks the first time this technology and procedure have been used in Utah, and anywhere in the Intermountain West.

Intermountain Healthcare (formerly SCL Health) has awarded a $250,000 grant to support and celebrate Tepeyac Community Health Center’s project to build a new clinic and expand access to primary medical, dental, and behavioral health services for uninsured and underinsured individuals in Denver, CO and surrounding areas. With continued support and partnership from Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, CO, Tepeyac Community Health Center has provided healthcare and key services to the Latino community in the Denver metro area for the past 25 years. According to the 2021 census, 29% of Denver residents are Hispanic/Latinx – and are Denver’s largest minority population. The new Tepeyac clinic will triple the number of patients Tepeyac can serve each year—currently, these patients may not have a primary care provider or may be waiting for a long time for an appointment to see a doctor. Tepeyac’s expanded facility is scheduled to open in early 2023 and will continue to provide resources to communities and work to remove barriers to healthcare.
