Each year, Medical Laboratory Professionals week provides a special opportunity to spotlight the dedicated team who serve as the backbone of patient care at Saint Joseph Hospital. Lab professionals are often described as diagnostic detectives. Using their deep clinical knowledge, they analyze a wide variety of patient samples including blood, tissues, fluids, and deliver answers that guide life-saving decisions.

The numbers speak volumes: In the past year, there were over 1.2 million tests performed, more than 5,000 blood products prepared, nearly 60,000 patient blood draws, and more! What truly sets Saint Joe’s laboratory apart is our people. The team’s diverse backgrounds, spanning cultures, experiences, and perspectives, enrich their work environment and foster innovation.

This Lab Week, we celebrate our medical laboratory professionals who make accurate diagnoses possible and patient outcomes better.

Getting care early in pregnancy can make a meaningful difference for both parent and baby. A new report highlighted by 9NEWS found fewer pregnant women are receiving prenatal care during the first trimester, with rates declining from 78% in 2021 to 75% in 2024. At the same time, the number of women receiving late or no prenatal care is increasing.

Dr. Kim Hildner-Murphy, senior medical director for informatics for women's health at Intermountain Health, shared that she is seeing more patients enter care later in pregnancy. Reasons may vary—from cost concerns and access barriers to uncertainty about when to schedule a first visit—but the importance of early care remains the same.

Early prenatal appointments help care teams assess health history, identify risk factors, provide screenings and testing, and offer guidance during a time that can feel both exciting and overwhelming. They can also provide reassurance and support for families navigating pregnancy after prior loss or complications.

At Saint Joseph Hospital, we’re proud to support growing families with compassionate maternity and women’s health care through every stage of pregnancy and beyond.

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.

National Donate Life Month is observed each April to raise awareness about the importance of life-saving organ, eye and tissue donations.

Saint Joseph Hospital, in partnership with the Donor Alliance, honored generous donors and celebrated the lives that have been saved and enhanced because of those donors by hosting a flag raising ceremony.

At the event, we heard a touching story from Karyn, a heart recipient, who expressed her gratitude to her donor for enabling her to live life to the fullest because of a life-changing donation. Karyn also thanked the Donor Alliance and the healthcare workers who facilitate organ, eye and tissue donation, the greatest gift someone can give.

Meet baby Crosby and granddaddy Richard! This proud grandpa was born at Saint Joseph Hospital in 1941 and came back to welcome his grandson into the world. At Saint Joe’s, we couldn’t be happier for this sweet family and couldn’t be more honored to have cared for generations of Colorado babies.

“I’m a Saint Joe’s mom.” 💛

Welcoming a baby into the world is something families never forget, and for this Saint Joseph Hospital mom, the experience was one filled with compassion, comfort and incredible support.

After delivering twins Ruby and Georgia at Saint Joe’s, she returned to have Annie — and once again felt surrounded by a team that made every moment feel calm, personal and cared for. Whether it was a nurse staying locked in by her side during delivery or the thoughtful postpartum care that helped her feel at ease, it’s the little things that left a lasting impression.

At Saint Joseph Hospital, we’re honored to care for families through every step of their journey.

E-bikes are a fun, efficient way to get around and stay active — but safety matters. 🚲⚡
As e-bike use continues to grow, so do preventable injuries. Head injuries remain the most common, and many happen when riders aren’t wearing helmets.
A crash at high speed can cause serious harm, which is why it’s so important to ride smart:
• Wear a helmet every ride, every time
• Know your e-bike class and speed capabilities
• Follow traffic laws and stay alert
• Use lights and reflective gear to stay visible
• Check your brakes, tires, and lights before heading out
E-bikes can be a great tool for movement and transportation — but the safest ride is an informed one. Help protect yourself, your family, and everyone sharing the road.
