If you’ve had a baby, you may have heard of postpartum hemorrhage — or severe bleeding after childbirth. While uncommon, it can become life-threatening without prompt treatment, which is why it’s important to recognize warning signs early.

Across our broader HCA Healthcare network of care, more than 200,000 babies are delivered each year. Clinical data from those deliveries helps us identify and implement evidence-based practices to improve maternal and newborn outcomes. This includes reducing elective deliveries before 39 weeks, strengthening blood clot prevention and using medications to reduce the occurrence and severity of postpartum hemorrhage.

💢 If you experience heavy bleeding or feel something isn’t right after giving birth, call 911 or seek immediate care. Know where to go in case of an emergency: https://bit.ly/4wUu1os

Memorial Day is a time to pause and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We also remember the families who carry their legacy forward and reflect on the profound impact of their courage and selflessness.

As we care for patients and support one another each day at Lakeview Hospital, we are guided by that same spirit of service and commitment to others. In memory of those who gave their all, let’s continue our commitment to serve with purpose and put people first in all that we do.

This past week, we were honored to host luncheons for our EMS partners as a small token of our appreciation for the exceptional partnership they provide every day.

We are incredibly grateful for the courage, compassion, and professionalism our EMS partners bring to every call. When patients and families need care the most, you are often the first to arrive, providing comfort, quick action, and excellent care in critical moments.

Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and we are proud to work alongside you in serving our community. Thank you for all you do during EMS Week and every week!

In 1974, President Gerald Ford authorized EMS Week™ to celebrate EMS professionals and the critical work they do in communities nationwide. National Emergency Medical Services Week is about honoring the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of medicine's frontline. 🚑⚕️🚨

National EMS Week 2026 is presented by the American College of Emergency Physicians - ACEP in partnership with the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT).

To celebrate the observance, Fox 13's The PLACE host, Jenny Hardman, got a tour of Gold Cross Ambulance's fleet facility in Salt Lake City with the company president and Kelsie Green, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at St. Mark's Hospital. Green was an ER nurse for 17 years. EMS services and all MountainStar Healthcare hospitals work hand-in-hand to treat emergent patients across Utah from Logan to Payson.

"EMS professionals are often the first point of care during some of the most critical moments in a patient’s life," Green said. "Our EMS are our partners. I’ve always thought of them as an extension of our care team."

Happy EMS Week, all! ❤️

Do you know if you’re at risk for a stroke? The good news is that many stroke risk factors are manageable with routine checkups, care and healthy lifestyle choices. Knowing your numbers and talking with your doctor are important first steps.

We’re connected to the broader HCA Healthcare network of care, which includes 45 comprehensive stroke centers. Caregivers across our network treat more than 60,000 stroke patients each year.

Through the support of HCA Healthcare and the HCA Healthcare Foundation — in collaboration with the American Heart Association’s Getting to the Heart of Stroke™ initiative — we're helping to raise awareness about the connection between heart health and stroke and providing education and resources to our communities.

If you or someone you know suffers a stroke, call 911 immediately. Before you need emergency care, know where to find an ER near you: https://bit.ly/4eYWmUo

During National EMS Week, we’re honored to celebrate former Bountiful City UT firefighter and paramedic Bob Farnes — one of the many dedicated first responders who helped shape emergency medical care in our community decades ago.

Bob served with the — then-Bountiful City Fire Department — for years, helping care for patients during a pivotal era in local emergency medicine. 🚑⚕️🚨

In September 1976, Bob was part of the ambulance team that helped transfer patients from South Davis Community Hospital to the newly opened Lakeview Hospital. At the time, EMS looked very different than it does today. Bountiful’s ambulance service was still relatively new.

"The phone might ring [at any and all hours of the night] because there was a fire, and the siren would go off..." Bob recalled of the early volunteer EMS days in Bountiful.

A total of 28 patients, equipment and administrative records were moved from the old hospital to Lakeview — a new, four story building about one-half mile east of the original facility — during that initial move. According to a Sept. 20, 1976 article in the Deseret News, "Moving was a monumental task that required the help of a brigade of Bountiful and South Davis County firemen and paramedics, along with a fleet of ambulances, not to mention the nurses, orderlies and assorted personnel."

Bob's beautiful wife, Loree, also dedicated her career to patient care as a registered nurse. She worked at Lakeview Hospital for more than two decades. Together, Bob and Loree represent generations of compassion, service, and commitment to healthcare in Davis County. Their story is a reminder that behind every ambulance ride, emergency response, and patient transfer are people who devote their lives to caring for others. Each felt a deep commitment to helping their neighbors.

This EMS Week, we thank Bob — and all EMS professionals past and present — for answering the call when their communities needed them most. ❤️❤️❤️

And again... to all those with South Davis Metro Fire Service Area, the Farmington Fire Department, Kaysville Fire Department, Layton City Fire and Gold Cross Ambulance — THANK YOU!
