For years, Katie Uhl dealt with pain in her abdomen.

"At my core, I knew something was wrong," Katie said. "Since my teens, I always felt pain and I just thought it was normal."

Katie was referred to Dr. Kevin Jensen at the Utah Endometriosis Center at MountainStar Healthcare's St. Mark's Hospital. Just days after she met with the endometriosis specialist, surgery was scheduled. Her body was so riddled with the disease, endometrial-like tissue had spread extensively throughout the pelvis and beyond, including on her diaphragm.

"You’d think post-surgery you’d be in pain, but I had felt better than I had in like 10 years," she said.

Lakeview is kicking off our "50 Days of Service" in celebration of our 50th anniversary!

This week, we had the privilege of partnering with Blue Star Families of Utah at Hill Air Force Base, where we joined a playgroup and provided spring-themed family activity kits to the wonderful families in attendance.

It was a meaningful opportunity to connect, give back, and share a small token of appreciation for our local military members and their families—whose service and sacrifice do not go unnoticed.
