From diagnosis to determination. When Dan Merry learned he had Parkinson’s, he chose hope. Merry worked closely with Intermountain Health neurologist Arturo Echeverri, MD, to develop a comprehensive treatment plan, including medication, deep brain stimulation, physical therapy, and a targeted speech program.

Thanks to speech pathologist Abby Etter, Dan found his voice again and built strength, balance, and community through supportive therapies and activities like boxing.

Dan’s story shows that with commitment and the right support, you can keep moving forward and live life to the fullest. One day, one word, one step at a time. 💪🗣️

After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease three years ago, Dan Merry refused to let the diagnosis define his future. With early intervention, deep brain stimulation surgery, medication, and a strong commitment to physical and speech therapy at Intermountain Health St. Vincent Regional Hospital, Dan continues to stay active and engaged in the life he loves. Through exercise, specialized speech therapy, and even a Parkinson’s-focused boxing class, he’s improving his strength, communication, and quality of life. Dan hopes his journey encourages others with Parkinson’s to stay involved, stay active, and remember: the more you put in, the more you get out.

Read more about Dan’s journey and how comprehensive care at St. V's is helping him stay active, connected, and doing what he loves.

Always tired, no matter how much you sleep. Feeling foggy, anxious, or not quite like yourself. Watching your weight change without any clear reason.
These experiences can be frustrating — and for many people, the thyroid is the missing piece.

The thyroid is a small gland with a big job, helping regulate energy, metabolism, mood, and more. When it’s out of balance, it can affect both your physical and emotional wellbeing. The good news? Thyroid conditions are common, diagnosable, and treatable.

This Thyroid Awareness Month, we want you to know you’re not alone — and you don’t have to just “push through” symptoms that don’t feel normal. If something feels off, talk with your provider. Getting answers can be the first step toward feeling like yourself again.
