QuidelOrtho is a key partner in our laboratory operations, supporting both Integrated Chemistry and Blood Bank services. From January 28–31, their mobile training unit provided hands-on Advanced Operator Training for laboratory professionals from Summit Healthcare, Little Colorado Medical Center, Whiteriver Hospital, and White Mountain Regional Medical Center.

In total, 12 laboratory staff members participated in four-hour courses focused on advanced maintenance, troubleshooting, and best practices. The sessions also created space for collaboration across regional facilities and allowed participants to earn continuing education credits to support their certifications.

Opportunities like this strengthen our regional laboratory community and ensure we continue delivering high-quality patient care through ongoing learning and partnership.

At Summit Healthcare, community care includes stepping in during moments of urgent need. Our teams collaborate with local partners to ensure families have essential support during life’s most challenging transitions.

When a baby arrived earlier than expected, one new mother faced immediate challenges and limited resources. Summit staff quickly coordinated donated baby items and community support, helping ensure both mother and child had what they needed to thrive.

Access to care is essential in a rural community, and supporting patients often means helping in ways that go beyond medical treatment. Summit Healthcare continues to care for our community beyond healthcare by easing the challenges that come with long-distance and long-term care.

Each year, the Summit Healthcare Cancer Center helps patients who must travel for chemotherapy, radiation, or specialty care by providing lodging support and other resources. For many, this assistance means one less worry during an already difficult time.

Supporting mothers and families is a key part of how Summit Healthcare cares for our community beyond clinical care. We work to connect parents with resources that strengthen families and support healthy futures.

One expectant mother, pregnant while parenting four children and in recovery, received consistent support throughout her pregnancy. Summit staff helped connect her to community resources and transportation not covered by insurance. Today, she continues to care for her growing family and remains connected to ongoing support services.
