is the leading cause of cancer-related death according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Many people don’t know the hidden risks they may be exposed to every day. Common lifestyle risk factors include:

🚬Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke
💨Exposure to radon, a colorless and odorless radioactive gas that occurs naturally in soil
🦠Inhaling hazardous chemicals like asbestos, uranium and other toxic products
🏭Exposure to particle pollution, such as inhaling tiny particles from exhaust smoke
🎗️Prior radiation to treat other cancers

In addition to lifestyle risk factors, a family history of lung cancer may also increase your risk. Fortunately, lung cancer is most treatable when it’s caught early. Across our larger HCA Healthcare system of care, Sarah Cannon Cancer Network treats over 12,000 cases each year, bringing deep experience and compassionate care to every patient.

If you think you may have an increased risk for lung cancer based on these risk factors, talk with your doctor or schedule an appointment with one of our experts: https://bit.ly/4phXt3W

-Severe chest pain or difficulty breathing
-A head injury accompanied by confusion, vomiting or loss of consciousness
-Signs of heatstroke, such as a high fever, confusion or fainting
-Deep cuts or wounds that won’t stop bleeding
-Severe abdominal pain or persistent vomiting

The average human body contains only about 5 or 6 liters of blood. Severe blood loss can occur within minutes and can be catastrophic. In fact, someone who is severely bleeding can bleed to death in as little as 5 minutes. Blood is literally life.

Whether you witness a vehicular crash or come upon an unexpected act of violence, you never know when you'll find yourself in the position to save a life. STOP THE BLEED® training can give you the knowledge and power to do just that! It really is the "CPR of bleeding."

MountainStar Healthcare Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Filip Roos, recently joined Good Day Utah on FOX 13 News with Dan Evans & Kelly Chapman to give viewers an idea of what the training looks like. It's incredibly valuable and we offer it – FREE to the public!

The STOP THE BLEED® course is designed for people – including and especially non-medical members of the public – who may be called upon to assist with trauma patients before first responders arrive. Anyone can and should learn these skills! Whether you're a teacher, a taxi driver, student athlete, employer or parent, STOP THE BLEED® is a fantastic way to get prepared.

Our sister facility, St. Mark's Hospital, is hosting their next training on Thursday, August 28 from 6-7 p.m. To register, visit http://bit.ly/3UyLYat. Can't make it? There's another class scheduled on November 20.

STOP THE BLEED® is an official program of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The program is the result of a collaborative effort led by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT) to bring knowledge of bleeding control to the public in order to empower, educate, and train them on critical bleeding control techniques.

Every minute counts when it comes to heart attacks. Lakeview Hospital is proud to average a 52-minute door-to-balloon time for heart attack (or STEMI) patients—far below the national standard of 90 minutes.

So, what does "door-to-balloon" mean? It's the time it takes from when a patient arrives at our emergency room to when we open up the blocked artery in their heart using a special balloon procedure. Every minute matters, because quicker treatment saves lives and reduces damage to the heart muscle.

Our team of experts work swiftly and efficiently to ensure that your heart gets the care it needs when it counts the most.
