Planning ahead is one of the most meaningful ways to care for yourself—and for the people who love you.

This National Healthcare Decisions Day, we encourage you to take time to think about your wishes for future medical care and have conversations with those closest to you. Advance care planning helps ensure your voice is heard, even if you’re unable to speak for yourself.

It can be as simple as choosing a trusted decision-maker, completing an advance directive, or starting the conversation with your family.

Our caregivers are here to support you every step of the way—because your choices matter, and your care should reflect what matters most to you.

Learn more and start the conversation today.

When seconds matter, having the right tools makes all the difference.

Unlike traditional plasma, liquid plasma is ready to use immediately—no thawing, no delays. That means faster treatment for patients experiencing severe trauma, blood loss, or shock—right here in our community.

As a local hospital, Platte Valley plays a critical role in stabilizing patients during emergencies and those crucial first moments of care. Having liquid plasma on hand allows our teams to act quickly, improving outcomes and helping ensure patients get the lifesaving support they need, close to home.

It’s one more way our caregivers are delivering faster, more effective care when it matters most.

Behind every successful patient visit is a Patient Access Representative.

Often the first and last point of contact in a hospital, Patient Access Representatives set the tone for a patient’s entire experience. They are the welcoming smile at check-in, the calming voice during stressful moments, and the problem-solvers who help patients navigate insurance, registration, and scheduling with compassion and accuracy.

Their work goes far beyond paperwork. Patient Access teams ensure patients are properly registered; coverage is verified, financial questions are addressed, and care can move forward without unnecessary delays. By doing this essential work, they help protect patient safety, support clinical teams, and keep our hospital running smoothly.

This week, we celebrate these dedicated professionals who combine technical expertise with empathy, patience, and grace. Thank you for being advocates, guides, and trusted partners for our patients and families—often during some of their most vulnerable moments.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we couldn’t do this without you.

“I’m here today because someone chose to leave a legacy.” 💙

This April, for National Donate Life Month, we’re honoring the life-changing impact of organ donation — and stories like Heather Bower’s.

Heather is celebrating two years since her heart transplant — and this December, 25 years with Intermountain Health. Because of one selfless decision, she’s able to keep showing up, loving deeply and living fully.

“Organ and tissue donation really save lives. It gave me mine back so that I can love and live every single day with gratitude. I live like there is no tomorrow.”

At Platte Valley Hospital, we’re proud to partner with Donor Alliance to support donors, recipients and families through some of life’s most meaningful moments. In 2025, Platte Valley had a record three organ donors — helping save 10 lives.

Nearly 1,300 people in Colorado are still waiting for a life-saving transplant. This month, we honor donors, celebrate recipients and encourage our community to learn more and consider registering.

Because one “yes” can change everything.

We’re proud to celebrate one of our own at Platte Valley Hospital. 💙Congratulations to Sarah Shepherd-McCartney, recipie...

What does a doctor do? According to local kids… a little bit of everything. 💙👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

For Doctors' Day, we asked local students to share what they think doctors do — and their answers were funny, thoughtful, creative, and honestly… pretty spot on.

In this video, Dr. Joel Meyer, Chief Medical Officer at Intermountain Health Platte Valley Hospital, reads a few of their responses and drawings in honor of the physicians who care for our community every day.

Join us in wishing our doctors a happy Doctors' Day and thanking them for the compassion, skill, and care they bring to every patient, every day. 💙

To celebrate National Nutrition Month, Kelly Enenbach, clinical dietitian at Saint Joseph Hospital and Platte Valley Hospital, took on the viral blind ranking trend — with a healthy snack twist.

From fiber-filled favorites to protein-packed picks, Kelly ranked five smart snack options without knowing what was coming next… and let’s just say, some choices were tougher than others. 😅

Each snack brings something a little different to the table, whether it’s protein, healthy fats, fiber, or long-lasting energy to help power your day.

Now it’s your turn: How would you rank these five snacks? ⬇️

Veggies & hummus
Greek yogurt & berries
Apples & nut butter
Whole-grain crackers & avocado
