Did you know? 🤔 Around 75% of U.S. adults experience stress.

Stress can come from everyday life like work, relationships, or finances. While it cannot always be avoided, how we respond can make a difference. Taking care of your health, getting enough rest, and talking to someone you trust can help you manage stress in a healthier way.

You are not alone. If you are feeling overwhelmed, reach out to trusted friends, family, or a professional counselor. If you are in immediate distress, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

The first class of the SVMC Nursing Education Pathway, powered by Unitek College, has graduated, earning their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)! 🎓

What makes this milestone even more meaningful is that all nine graduates are Sierra View employees who chose to grow their careers while continuing to serve the community they call home.

Over three years, they balanced work, school, and life while completing a program that combined classroom learning with hands-on clinical experience. This milestone reflects a long-term investment in building a stronger local nursing workforce and improving access to care in the Central Valley.

Shortness of breath is not something to ignore.

Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) helps find the cause of breathing problems. It measures how well the lungs are working and can help diagnose conditions like asthma or COPD, guide treatment, and track changes over time.

Your healthcare provider may order a PFT for shortness of breath, chronic cough, or wheezing. The test is safe, non-invasive, and done in one visit.

Sierra View Medical Center offers PFT with a referral. Talk with a healthcare provider to see if this test is right for you.

How can volunteering make a difference?

It’s seen in how our volunteers show up for others. They welcome visitors, guide patients, assist staff, and stay with those who need comfort. From therapy animal visits to quiet moments at the bedside, they make a difference every day.

During National Volunteer Week, we thank our volunteers for the care and support they give to patients, families, and staff at Sierra View Medical Center.

Sepsis can be hard to spot in children because the symptoms can look like common childhood illnesses.

Each year, more than 75,000 children in the U.S. develop severe sepsis, and it remains a leading cause of death in children worldwide. Knowing the signs can help you tell when something is more serious. Watch for these 8 signs of pediatric sepsis.

If you notice these signs, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away. Do not wait to see if it gets better.

Acting quickly can save a life.
