Our CNO Melinda recently spent the day with Kayla from our post-anesthesia care unit (PACU)! She shadowed Kayla as she cared for a patient who had recently had a spine surgery.

"Kayla ensured he was stabilized and the pain was under control before he went up to the Med/Surg floor. She is the safety net between the OR and discharge," said Melinda. Melinda explained that it's very important for good communication to take place between an OR team and the PACU so that the PACU can then get them to the next stage of care safely. Our patients can rest assured that they are in the best hands with our award-winning surgical services teams!

The goal of the Walk-a-Mile program is to help leaders across HCA Healthcare gain a better understanding of where leadership can partner with hospital colleagues to identify best practices, streamline workflows, and create efficiencies that give our people more time at the bedside.

Our COO Wil recently spent the day with Liz from our Med/Surg team! He was so impressed by all the little things Liz did to go above and beyond with her patients, noticing the little details that make a big difference in a hospital stay.

"She made sure to highlight important items on their discharge documents and explain to them what they would need when they got home," says Wil. "She even made sure they knew when pharmacy stores would close so they could get their medication before getting home! She's an excellent nurse."

Identical twin girls, Scottie and Teddie, were born on January 29, just days before the 2026 NBC Olympics & Paralympics Winter Games Opening Ceremony in Milan, Italy. After spending two weeks in the NICU at Lone Peak Hospital – growing strong and training up – we had to do something special to welcome them home... Their homecoming had to have a theme! 🎉

After learning more about their older siblings – 8‑year‑old August and 5‑year‑old Nora – our MountainStar Healthcare nurses dressed up the babies in miniature hockey uniforms ahead of their discharge. August, a hockey player himself, is a self‑described superfan of the Utah Mammoth and hockey in general.

"I would like to play for the Mammoth or Team USA," August told KSL 5 TV. He's already done the math too... The second grader will be 17 years old when the return to Salt Lake City in 2034.

Once home, their first big event together as a family of six was watching Team USA Hockey compete in the 2026 . We're told, TONIGHT, they'll do the same – cheering on the men, including the Mammoth's Clayton Keller, to victory! 🏅

Lone Peak Hospital is home to a Level III NICU. We pride ourselves on treating the littlest of patients with exceptional care in our high-quality NICU. We understand your child's health is your top priority—and it's ours too.

“When you need help and you walk into Lone Peak Hospital, you don’t know what’s going to happen next or how things are going to turn out. It’s scary. But the people at Lone Peak love you like family, they take care of you, and you feel like you’re going to be safe,”

Kat has experienced many painful, unnerving situations. For example, not long ago, while heading to church, an excruciating sensation wrapped around her chest and took her breath away. The pain then climbed up her neck until Kat felt a click. Immediately, her body stiffened and she knew something was terribly wrong.

Kat went to Lone Peak Hospital’s Emergency Room for initial imaging, and they helped calm her body’s reaction to the trauma by stabilizing her extremely high blood pressure and heart rate. The next morning, she connected with her spine surgeon, who ordered further imaging.

The imaging revealed that several of Kat’s cervical discs had dramatically shifted, and their new placement compressed her spinal cord, pinching nerves. She needed another spinal surgery.

“Lone Peak took care of me so quickly, it’s just amazing — they’re so good at that,” Kat said.

After two spine surgeries at Lone Peak Hospital, Kat King raves about the genuine care, the skilled professionals and the fact that during our highest moments of need, Lone Peak is there. Read Kat’s story ➡️ https://bit.ly/3MPrcTz
