Enloe Health is highlighting patients and their bariatric surgery success stories thanks to Enloe Health Bariatric & Metabolic Services.

For March, we introduce Mikayla. She had her surgery in 2023 and has lost almost 70 pounds! Mikayla says the surgery is the best thing she has ever done for herself, and wishes she had done it earlier.

“At my highest weight (248 pounds) I was doing the bare minimum. Now I can keep up with my kids, walk up multiple flights of stairs and have a new outlook of how my life looks,” Mikayla said. “So happy with my results! Thank you Enloe Bariatric!”

We’d like to give a special thanks to Richard Gilliam and Mary Morris-Gilliam for their generosity!

To honor the caregivers who supported Richard throughout his recovery, the couple hosted a pizza lunch for the Enloe Health Rehabilitation team.

“The encouragement, support and patience by Enloe caregivers during his treatment made a positive difference in Richard’s recovery, and we are forever grateful,” Mary said.

In addition, the couple also donated to the Andy Nolan Memorial Scholarship Fund, the Enloe Health Employee Scholarship Fund and the Enloe Employee Care Fund.

Thank you, Richard and Mary, for recognizing our caregivers and giving back to the Enloe community.

E-bikes and e-scooters are a blast, but injuries are more severe than just scraped knees. Higher speeds mean higher impact, which often leads to serious fractures and head injuries, which are rarely seen with traditional bikes and scooters.

The best way to stay out of the Emergency Department is to treat your e-ride like a vehicle, not a toy.

To stay safe, make sure to:
- Wear a properly fitted helmet (it reduces traumatic brain injury risk by over 75%). Plus, California law requires all e‑bike and e‑scooter riders under 18 to wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet.
- Always keep your eyes on the road. Potholes are e-scooter magnets.
- Have one rider per vehicle on an e-scooter. Extra weight makes it harder to control and the law prohibits passengers on e-scooters.

Butte County has the fourth-highest rate of colon cancer in California. It’s also the third-most common cancer in both men and women, excluding skin cancer.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to bring awareness to this cancer that is quickly becoming common. While screening is vital, don't ignore these "red flags":
• Persistent change in bowel habits
• Blood in the stool
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue that won’t lift
• Abdominal pain or cramping

If you experience any of these, don't wait for your next routine check-up. Talk to your provider and get referred for a screening test or diagnostic colonoscopy.

Did you know that 45 is the new 50? The ️American Cancer Society guidelines now recommend that adults at average risk start colorectal cancer screening at age 45.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when caught early. Screening doesn’t just find cancer, it can prevent it by removing precancerous polyps before they turn into something serious.

Don't wait for symptoms. If you’re 45 or older, talk to your primary care doctor about your screening options today.

You may qualify for a free screening test through Enloe Health Community Health. Visit our website for more details.
