Meet Abby, a very thoughtful student from Mirror Lake Middle School who’s spreading joy. This spring, she and her fellow seventh grade National Junior Honor Society classmates collected comforting items- like fidget toys, coloring books and small stuffed animals - to help make ER visits a little less scary for children.

Abby and her dad John (a former Alaska Regional ER team member) recently delivered the gifts to Rachel and Dan (pictured at left) from our Emergency Room. Thanks to Abby and the generous students who made this possible! Their compassion will make a positive impact on some of our littlest visitors.

How often should you be screened for skin cancer? Starting at age 20, do a full-body examination of your skin regularly and talk to your doctor about your individualized risk for skin cancer. Those at high risk for skin cancer include people with reduced immunity, a personal history of skin cancer and a strong family history of skin cancer. It doesn't take long to do a full-body skin self-exam — one of the best ways to catch skin cancer early, when it’s most treatable. And yes, even Alaskans may be at risk.

After a shocking diagnosis, Rebeca's world shifted. But she wasn't alone. Her nurse navigator was a steady, compassionate guide. "Kelly has been constant. She eased our anxiety and calmed our fears. My friend calls her my cancer doula,” Rebeca says. “She handles every single thing to do with my cancer, from making appointments to providing resources to scheduling testing and even checking to make sure I stay hydrated. She’s assisted in getting physician and therapy referrals and my wig. She comes to my appointments whenever she can and often stops by my chemo treatments to say hi. When I had to fly to Houston for treatment, she contacted the American Cancer Society and they paid for my ticket. She does it all and it’s impressive.”

Rebeca shares her story to bring awareness to oncology nurse navigation at Alaska Regional and says she’s grateful that her medical oncologist referred her to the program. As a su***de prevention social worker at the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs for the State of Alaska, she’s very much aware of the mental health impact of receiving a cancer diagnosis. “It would be nice if all doctors knew about the program so they would refer their patients to the nurse navigators,” she says. “The sooner the better. It helps to have somebody to walk through this very scary thing.” Learn more about Rebeca's story here: https://bit.ly/44PoItd

Summer 2025: Mosquito Science with Ask The Doctor

Mosquitoes are selective insects, meaning some people are more likely to get bites than others. That’s right... there’s actual science behind why some people are more attractive to the insects than others!

Our own HCA Healthcare Mountain Division Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Filip Roos, joined Kelly Chapman & Dan Evans on Good Day Utah to talk about it. If you're wondering whether you're a target, consider the answers to these questions:
1️⃣ What's your blood type? Do you have Type O?
2️⃣ How much carbon dioxide does your body give off? (The more you give off, the more attractive you are to the bugs)
3️⃣ Do you run warm? People whose body heat runs a little higher are more likely to get the bite.

In one controlled study by the Journal of Medical Entomology, the bugs landed on people with blood Type O nearly twice as frequently as those with Type A. Lifestyle or other health factors may also play a role. If you're drinking alcohol or exercising, bites are more likely. If you're overweight or pregnant, you're also more likely to get bitten!

Stay safe out there and do your best to prevent bites altogether!

Thanks for having us, FOX 13 News!
