Our facilities team delivered 200 turkeys to Bean’s Café today, bringing a little extra light and comfort to those who may need it most this season. We’re deeply grateful for the chance to support their mission...and even with temperatures in the double digits below zero, the simple act of giving made the day feel bright, warm, and full of purpose.

🧠 A is a bulge in a blood vessel in the brain. It can rupture without warning, leading to a life-threatening stroke. Many aneurysms go undetected so it’s critical to be aware of the most common symptom as well as risk factors.

Across our broader HCA Healthcare network, caregivers treated more than 3,000 brain aneurysms last year. HCA Healthcare has 43 comprehensive stroke centers and cares for more than 70,000 patients admitted for stroke treatment annually.

If you’re concerned about your risk for an aneurysm, talk to your doctor. And if you have a sudden, severe headache, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Know where to find emergency care near you: https://bit.ly/451dZNB

Button batteries are used to power many consumer electronic devices, including toys, digital watches, hearing aids, and remote controls. If ingested, they can cause devastating injury in as little as two hours.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, there were more than twice the number of pediatric battery-related visits to the ER in 2010-2019 than there were in the previous decade. Many children were able to go home after treatment, but 12% needed to be hospitalized and over 40 children have died from button battery injury since 2010.

Dr. Chad Nicholls, the Market Medical Director over CareNow Urgent Care in Utah, joined Good Day Utah's Dan Evans & Kelly Chapman this week on FOX 13 News to send a warning to parents and grandparents.

Prevention Tips:
🔵 Be aware of button batteries in your home
🔵 Choose products with secure battery compartments
🔵 Keep batteries out of reach & out of sight
🔵 Secure your battery storage box
🔵 Dispose of batteries immediately and safely

Chest pain feels different for everyone — it can be a dull ache or a sudden, sharp stabbing sensation. Regardless of how it feels, it’s important to take chest pain seriously. If the discomfort sticks around, it could be a sign of a more serious, potentially life-threatening condition like a heart attack or a blood clot.

Last year across our broader HCA Healthcare network, our emergency rooms saw nearly 838,000 visits related to cardiac complaints. You know your body better than anyone. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. And if your chest pain is severe or accompanied by any of the symptoms shown here, seek emergency care immediately.

Caring for Alaskans means more than providing healthcare inside our walls. It is standing with our neighbors in times of need. Today, on , we presented a $15,000 donation to the American Red Cross of Alaska to support their efforts to aid those displaced by the Western Alaska typhoon.

The storm's destruction damaged homes and caused the evacuation of hundreds of Alaskans. In response, the Red Cross has provided thousands of overnight stays in safe shelters, distributed clean-up supplies and relief items, as well as health services and emotional support to help families begin healing.

Beyond Giving Tuesday, our parent company, HCA Healthcare, is further supporting those in need in our community by matching all Alaska Regional Hospital colleague donations of $10 and above to the Red Cross and Beans Cafe.

For more than a decade, HCA Healthcare has partnered with the Red Cross, contributing millions of dollars and countless volunteer hours to help communities prepare for and recover from disasters. We salute the extraordinary work that they do. Together, we’re driven by one mission: the care and improvement of human life.

Every thank-you letter reflects a story of hope, healing and compassion. In this season of thankfulness, we are honored to share words from our patients and their families that underscore the profound impact of our work.

Watch as HCA Healthcare nurses from our sister facilities read letters filled with gratitude and appreciation from those whose lives they have touched. These are patient letters the nurses didn't know about until they were surprised with them during filming.

To all our dedicated nurses – thank you for your unwavering commitment to the care and improvement of human life.

Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours!

No matter what you’ve got cooking this , remember to prioritize safety. In crowded kitchens and around deep fryers, accidents can happen fast. Each year around Thanksgiving, there’s an increase in cooking-related burn injuries, and unattended cooking is the primary cause, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Follow these tips for what to avoid if you or someone else needs .

If you suffer a mild or first-degree burn, the affected area may swell or turn red. You can treat these burns at home with simple first aid steps:

🧼Clean the area with soap and cool water.
🧴Apply a thin layer of ointment.
🩹Dress the wound with sterile non-stick gauze.
💊Take over-the-counter medication to manage pain.

For more serious burns, immediate medical attention is critical. You can always find help fast at your local emergency room — but for complex cases, specialized care is available through our broader HCA Healthcare network, home to 11 American Burn Association-recognized burn centers across nine states.

Your family story holds clues that affect your risk for . Start a conversation with the women in your life — mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmas, cousins — to uncover any history of breast cancer. If you’re gathering with loved ones for Thanksgiving or the holiday season, it may be the perfect time for a chat.

Ask questions like:
➡ Who in our family has been diagnosed?
➡ At what age did they receive their diagnosis?
➡ Did they have other cancers that are linked to breast cancer, like ovarian, cervical or endometrial cancer?

Once you’ve gathered your family health history, it’s time to talk to a genetic counselor. They’ll help you:
✅ Understand how genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 influence risk 🧬
✅ Navigate the ins and outs of genetic testing
✅ Receive personalized screening and prevention recommendations

Early knowledge is power. When you combine family insights with expert guidance, you take control of your health journey. Learn more about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and guidelines for genetic testing: https://bit.ly/4r7qNv1
