January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and experts at Intermountain Health want patients to know that cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable with regular screening.

“This is a game-changer for people who feel uncomfortable with a pelvic exam or have trouble getting to a clinic,” said Katie Rustici, MD, regional service line medical director for Women’s Health with Intermountain Health.

With new options like self-collected HPV testing coming in early 2026, prevention is becoming more accessible — while routine gynecologic care remains an important part of protecting your long-term health.

If you’re due for a screening or have questions about which option is right for you, talk with your provider. A simple test today can help protect your health for years to come.

On this MLK Day, we reflect on the power of courage, service, and standing up for what is right.

In 1965, Sister Eileen Sheehy—one of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth who helped establish our hospitals—lived these values by marching in Selma, Alabama, in support of Black voting rights. She stood in peaceful solidarity to help protect protesters and advocate for change.

Today, we honor Sister Eileen and the countless individuals who have worked toward equality. Their legacy reminds us that justice requires action and that each of us has a role to play in creating a more inclusive world.

When everything feels scary, uncertain, and out of your control, having the right nurse can change everything. Platte Valley Hospital is proud to recognize Michelle McLaughlin, RN, with the L.O.V.E. Award for the steady presence, compassion, and trust she brings to patients and families during their hardest moments.

Michelle was nominated by a patient’s loved one who shared how she took the time to explain every detail of the care plan, answer questions with patience, and create space for honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversations — all with warmth and zero judgment. In the middle of fear, exhaustion, and pain, Michelle made it feel safe to speak up, ask questions, and be part of the care team. Thank you Michelle for your care and compassion. 💙

Always tired, no matter how much you sleep. Feeling foggy, anxious, or not quite like yourself. Watching your weight change without any clear reason.
These experiences can be frustrating — and for many people, the thyroid is the missing piece.

The thyroid is a small gland with a big job, helping regulate energy, metabolism, mood, and more. When it’s out of balance, it can affect both your physical and emotional wellbeing. The good news? Thyroid conditions are common, diagnosable, and treatable.

This Thyroid Awareness Month, we want you to know you’re not alone — and you don’t have to just “push through” symptoms that don’t feel normal. If something feels off, talk with your provider. Getting answers can be the first step toward feeling like yourself again.
