It’s Heart Month — and women’s heart health matters. ❤️
After stepping onto a treadmill one day in May 2024, Justine, a mom of two, suddenly became critically ill. Her mother-in-law — a longtime nurse at Mountain View Hospital — started CPR right away. Santaquin City Fire/EMS arrived within minutes and continued lifesaving care until Justine could be transported to our facility.
At Mountain View Hospital, our teams identified a rare, life-threatening heart attack caused by spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) — a condition that can be missed and disproportionately affects women.
Because of quick action and seamless teamwork across EMS, our ED, cath lab, and nursing teams, Justine is alive and doing well today — and later reunited with her rescuers to say thank you.
Heart Month reminder: Heart disease is a leading cause of death for women, and symptoms can look different. If something feels wrong, don’t wait — call 911.
