Excellence is at the heart of everything we do—whether it’s caring at the bedside or "caroling" at the bedside.🎶❤️

Yesterday, Troy Wood, Lakeview Hospital CEO, and Carrie Froyd, Communications Director, made special visits to patients' rooms, singing Christmas carols to spread a little holiday cheer! While there really is no place like home for the holidays, some find themselves unexpectedly in the hospital. Our colleagues show up every day to care like family for our patients, even while most people are spending time at home with their families.

Together, we’re making this season a little brighter, reminding our patients that they are not alone, and that the spirit of Christmas can be felt even in unexpected places. 🎄

🧠 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/4j9Dh1u

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 Utah's CareNow Urgent Care, 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

In late November, an ordinary evening took a dramatic turn for 54-year-old Robert. While visiting a friend's house, he suddenly slumped over, becoming unresponsive. Recognizing that something was seriously wrong, his friend immediately called 911 and began CPR—a decision that would ultimately save Robert’s life. Within just five minutes, paramedics from South Davis Metro Fire arrived on the scene, ready to take over life-saving measures. Despite having no prior coronary issues, Robert had no pulse and remained unresponsive. The paramedics worked tirelessly, administering CPR and utilizing an AED four times over a span of 20 intense minutes. As they arrived at Lakeview Hospital, Robert regained consciousness, a moment filled with hope and relief. After a brief stay at Lakeview, he returned home, immensely grateful and in the process of healing from his ordeal.

Recently, Robert had the opportunity to FaceTime the South Davis Metro Fire crew who had rushed to his aid. During their emotional reunion, he expressed his deep gratitude for their swift and effective response. In recognition of their heroic actions, the crew was honored in front of their peers and presented with a commemorative coin, a small token of appreciation for their lifesaving work.

Lakeview Hospital extends a special shout-out to Robert's friend for his quick thinking, our partners at South Davis Metro Fire for their unwavering commitment to their work, and our dedicated Lakeview colleagues who played a crucial role in Robert's recovery and provided exceptional care during his time in the hospital. While this may have just been another shift for our EMS partners and hospital staff, it means everything to the people they help. Thank you for making a difference!

Building Connections Through Conversation: Tatiana Pepe

At Lakeview Hospital, where healthcare meets compassion, one charge nurse stands out for her exceptional ability to connect with patients—Tatiana Pepe. Embracing her role in the Med/Surg department, Tatiana oversees the care of patients who are not critically ill, but still in need of significant medical attention. Her approach not only fosters trust but also enhances healing, making her an invaluable member of the team.

For Tatiana, every patient is a person with a story, not just a case number. Her approach centers around making genuine connections with her patients. During her initial assessments, she pays close attention to their unique personalities, and uses that insight to guide her interactions.

By treating patients as individuals rather than tasks, Tatiana creates a comfortable environment that encourages them to share their concerns and experiences. She emphasizes a holistic approach to care, encouraging patients to maintain a positive mindset during recovery, as she believes that mental state can significantly impact healing. Her approach has proven effective; when patients feel supported, their healing journeys improve markedly.

Every day brings its own set of challenges in nursing, but Tatiana remains driven by her commitment to her patients. Despite the busyness of the hospital, she stays focused on her patients’ needs, ensuring they feel the care and attention they deserve.
Tatiana’s personal values of kindness and compassion resonate deeply with Lakeview's mission to treat others like family. She shares her life experiences with patients to foster trust, demonstrating that vulnerability can be a powerful tool in healthcare.

Tatiana exemplifies what it means to be a compassionate caregiver at Lakeview Hospital. Her ability to foster genuine connections with patients not only enhances their experiences but also contributes to their recovery. In a world where healthcare can often feel impersonal, Tatiana’s approach is a reminder that empathy and understanding are just as crucial as medical expertise.
