Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer-related death for adults under age 50 in the U.S.

While that sounds alarming, there’s also good news. Colon cancer is highly preventable and up to 90% curable when caught early. The challenge is that many people don’t get screened — often because they feel too young or don’t have symptoms.

If you’re 45 or older — or have a family history — now is the time to get screened.

A colonoscopy is the gold standard, but it’s not the only screening option. There are simple at-home stool tests that check for early signs of cancer. Talk with your primary care provider about what is right for you and take charge of your health today:

Last week we celebrated Clinical Pharmacist Johanna Lowney, recipient of the Clinical Shared Services LOVE Award – Living Our Values Everyday.

Johanna’s compassion and expertise helped a rural patient regain stability, confidence, and independence through dedicated diabetes medication management. By coordinating remote visits, securing needed technology, and offering consistent follow-up, she helped him reach safe glucose levels and, in his daughter’s words, “get his life back.”

Thank you, Johanna, for the way you show up for your patients, for their families, and for the communities we serve.

The madness isn’t just on the court—it’s on the sidelines, too. 🏀

The St. James Sports Medicine team is soaking up every moment of the Frontier Conference Tournament.

Nate, Trey, Zach, McKenzi, Chris, and Savannah (not pictured) keep athletes moving, recovering, and competing at their peak.

With National Athletic Training Month right around the corner in March, we’re proud to celebrate the profession that keeps the game going.

As Heart Month comes to an end, we’re sharing a little more of performer Frankee Angel’s story.

When she started feeling unwell before Mass, her church family rushed her to Intermountain Health St. James, where caregivers discovered she was having a second heart attack. Today, with advanced heart care, cardiac rehab, and an implantable defibrillator, she’s back at the piano and onstage. ❤️

Know the signs of a heart attack—especially for women: chest discomfort, shortness of breath, nausea, or pain in the jaw, back, or neck. If something feels “off,” call 911.

Lower your risk by knowing your numbers, staying active, eating heart‑healthy, and partnering with your primary care provider or cardiologist at St. James.

Want a healthier heart? 🫀 Braxton Porter, PA-C reminds us that quality sleep is the ultimate game-changer.

"Sleep is your body’s opportunity to reset, repair, and regulate itself," Porter says. Skimping on rest affects your heart and every system in your body.

Instead of chasing every health trend, focus on the fundamentals: protect your sleep, manage stress, and nurture your nervous system.

Strength in heart health starts with restful nights!

Today we gathered in the lobby of St. James Hospital to bless our new Mission Wall with the help of Fr. Patrick Beretta. May this Mission Wall be a daily reminder of why we are here and the healing we are called to continue.

We were honored to hear reflections from Sr. Judith Jackson and Sr. Eileen Hurley of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. Along with Fr. Beretta, St. James Director of Mission Marissa Espinoza, and St. James President Karen Costello as we paused to remember the faith, courage, and compassion that founded our ministry.

The artwork on the wall celebrates our history and heritage in southwest Montana and the role St. James has played in caring for this community for generations.

Last week Intermountain Health held it's annual Tier 2 LOVE Award Ceremony and we’re happy to share that St. James Caregiver Roberta Mota was one of the 36 caregiver honored with an award.

While working alone in registration, Roberta trusted her instincts when a patient arrived for a CT scan with a bloody face and refused further care. She partnered with our radiology team to encourage him to visit the Emergency Department, where a critical brain hemorrhage was found.

Her courage, compassion, and advocacy reflect the very best of who we are.
