February is Heart Month ❤️

Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. When levels are high, extra fat can build up in the arteries, making it harder for blood to flow and increasing the risk for heart disease. About 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. has elevated triglycerides, often without any symptoms.

Triglyceride levels are checked with a simple blood test and are often linked to diet, activity level, and conditions like diabetes or metabolic syndrome. Learning what affects triglycerides can help people better understand their overall heart health and take steps to reduce risk over time.

Heart health is built one step at a time.

Meet Gabby, Activities Coordinator in our Distinct Part Skilled Nursing Facility.

As an Activities Coordinator, Gabby plans and leads activities that support each resident’s physical, cognitive, and emotional needs. Her work helps reduce feelings of loneliness, stress, and sadness, while creating meaningful moments of connection and joy. One of her favorite activities, Facials by Gabby, gives residents time to relax, care for dry skin, and lift their mood.

“The most rewarding part of my role is seeing my residents improve their mood, motivation, and social interaction,” says Gabby. “Getting a smile out of them at the end of the day is the best feeling.”

Happy National Activities Professionals Week, Gabby! Thank you for the care and joy you bring to our residents every day.

A new book is helping bring comfort to children during surgery at Sierra View Medical Center. 📚

Amber, an RN in our Recovery Unit, discovered a children’s book at a conference that helps explain anesthesia and surgery in a kid-friendly way. When she reached out to the author with a question, he generously offered to donate 100 copies to our pediatric surgery patients.

Thanks to this donation, children receiving surgery at Sierra View can take home "Dream Along Anesthesia Adventures" written by Dr Simon Kim M.D., helping make a stressful day a little easier.

We’re grateful for this donation and the comfort it will bring to our youngest patients and their families.
