11/15/2024

Jo Daley and Brendan Hackett’s son Sean was diagnosed with autism at age 3 and, despite his intelligence, remains on the low-functioning end of the spectrum. Before Sean turned 15, his behavior began to change dramatically. He became withdrawn, unresponsive and prone to violent outbursts, including punching walls. Over 18 months, he was admitted twice to Children's Hospital Colorado’s psychiatry unit but his condition worsened, leaving his parents scared and uncertain about how to help him.

During Sean’s second hospitalization, he attended a day program at Evoke Behavioral Health in Denver where psychologist Sheri Katzman suggested he might be experiencing catatonia. After further research, his parents and therapist presented their findings to his care team who agreed but noted the challenges of finding a doctor willing to perform electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on a patient as volatile as Sean. A recommendation led them to Dr. Christopher James at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital who was open to the treatment.

Sean’s first ECT session was in March and the changes were immediate. After just two sessions, his violent outbursts stopped and his verbal skills began to return. Two weeks into the treatment, he climbed the stairs for the first time in over a year and calmly greeted his parents with a simple “Hi.” His transformation brought immense relief to his family. “He wasn’t smiling for years,” Jo said. “Now, his smile is back and we finally have our son back.”

Catatonia is surprisingly common – and probably underdiagnosed – among people with autism. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may help.

Michael Sciortino is a distinguished Air Force veteran and Purple Heart recipient who now serves as a physician assistant at UCHealth, specializing in helping patients undergoing knee and hip replacement surgeries. His journey to UCHealth is a remarkable tale of courage and resilience. A month after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Michael found himself in the heart of Afghanistan and was the first U.S. airman awarded the Purple Heart in that conflict. Injured by a bomb that launched him 40 feet into the air, he reflects on that day with humility, acknowledging that his survival was a stroke of luck. Throughout his military career, Michael showed a tireless commitment to his country, transitioning from an Air Force medical technician to a special operations combat controller—roles that led him on horseback across Afghanistan, aiding in the fight to liberate towns from the Taliban.

Raised in a family with a strong tradition of military service, Michael, originally from Oxford, Connecticut, joined the Air Force at just 18 years old. He later trained as a combat controller, a position demanding grueling training and ultimate dedication. His deployment in Afghanistan included dangerous missions with the Northern Alliance, navigating narrow mountain paths and risking encounters with enemy forces. At the famous Battle of Mazar-i-Sharif, Michael and his team faced an overwhelming number of Taliban and al-Qaida forces. Despite the chaos, he displayed remarkable courage by calling for air support to protect his team.

After his service, Michael channeled his resilience and dedication into medicine. He pursued education to become a physician assistant, eventually joining UCHealth Orthopedic Center – Grandview. Today, he works with Dr. Jordan Schaeffer to provide compassionate, skilled care to patients seeking relief from hip and knee pain, helping them regain mobility and improve their quality of life. Michael finds fulfillment in hearing stories from patients who, after their operations, can return to beloved activities pain-free. Every day, he brings his unique perspective to his work, sometimes connecting with other veterans and sharing stories of service and sacrifice.

This Veteran’s Day, we honor Michael Sciortino and all veterans who have courageously served. Thank you for your sacrifices and dedication.

The first US Airman to receive a Purple Heart in Afghanistan works at UCHealth, where he helps patients having joint replacement surgeries.

Rodney Mayo, a 57-year-old Colorado native, recently overcame an aggressive battle with pancreatic cancer thanks to early detection and a skilled healthcare team. Following 10 grueling months of chemotherapy and surgery, he is now cancer-free and excited to return to his woodworking passion, building a dream home and workshop on new land in Loveland, Colorado.

A Gulf War veteran and paraplegic from a spinal injury, Rodney has repeatedly shown resilience in the face of adversity. After a severe spinal injury left him paralyzed, he regained mobility through sheer determination, ultimately walking with the aid of braces. Last winter, his vigilance about his health led him to recognize symptoms early, prompting an urgent visit to the hospital where doctors discovered a tumor. Immediate chemotherapy and surgery at UCHealth followed, which he credits with saving his life.

Pancreatic cancer remains challenging to detect, often resulting in a low survival rate compared to other cancers. Rodney’s oncologists emphasize that advances in screening and early treatment can improve outcomes and they remain hopeful as research continues to progress. Grateful for the care that helped him overcome the odds, Rodney now looks forward to a new chapter filled with purpose, independence and a return to the hands-on work he loves.

A pancreatic cancer diagnosis used to be a death knell. Now, early detection and advanced treatments have boosted survival rates for people like Rodney Mayo.

Chelsea Tuff and her partner Korey Blankenship were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby girl, anticipating a smooth delivery after an uncomplicated pregnancy. However, just a week before her due date, Chelsea experienced sudden intense bleeding caused by a dangerous placental abruption. This complication disrupts blood flow to the baby and demands immediate medical intervention. Korey dialed 911, and within minutes, emergency responders arrived.

A unique program in Colorado Springs made all the difference. Paramedics with the Colorado Springs Fire Department administered a whole blood transfusion on-site. This measure bought critical time until Chelsea could reach the hospital for an emergency c-section. Reflecting on the moment, Chelsea shared, “I was scared… but they kept their cool,” describing the kindness and professionalism of the paramedics. Dr. Matt Angelidis, an emergency medicine physician at UCHealth and the medical director for the Colorado Springs Fire Department, explained that “a whole blood transfusion buys time for baby. And it buys time for Mom.”

Since its launch in April, the whole blood program has provided emergency transfusions to 35 patients ranging from trauma victims to labor complications like Chelsea’s. The program, funded by UCHealth and local donations, equips paramedics with specialized storage and warming equipment to safely administer blood at the scene, potentially saving lives in critical time-sensitive cases. Thanks to this program, Chelsea and her baby Rosie are both healthy today—a powerful testament to the life-saving impact of whole blood transfusions in emergencies.

Whole blood, now available for Colorado Spring's first responders to deliver to patients in need, is helping to save lives in emergencies.

Cortisol is a hormone that the adrenal gland naturally releases in response to injury or stress. Corticosteroids are medications that mimic the effects of cortisol and are commonly prescribed for a variety of health issues. While these steroids can provide significant relief, they may also lead to several side effects, including osteoporosis, weight gain, eye problems, and even heart disease.

It’s important to use steroids only when necessary. So, when is their use appropriate? How do they work? What are the potential side effects?

To address these questions, we spoke with Dr. Nicole Cotter, a rheumatologist at the UCHealth Rheumatology Clinic in Steamboat Springs.

Steroids play a critical role in treating and managing diseases. They also can come with a host of side effects. Here's what you need to know.

10/30/2024

A report from the Colorado Health Institute reveals that teen suicides in Colorado are among the highest in the nation, with rising rates among those aged 15 to 19. Improving access to behavioral health care for teens and caregivers is essential, especially for those facing economic instability, transportation issues, or geographic barriers. To tackle this, we've partnered with the Behavioral Health Administration to launch a Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program. This grant-funded online therapy platform increases accessibility and offers a safe space for participants.

Dr. Andrew Sylvester, medical director for UCHealth's Virtual Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program, says, "We can offer one-on-one meetings with parents when they're really struggling. Or we can do family therapy with the teen and the parents."

"As a child psychiatrist, I'm looking at the child, but I'm also looking at the whole family system. And this is the first group therapy I know of that actually addresses that whole system with appropriate therapy interventions while also giving the kids their own space to talk about their issues. It's a systems approach to improving whole-family functioning."

The following virtual programs are for adolescents ages 13 to 18. Most insurances are accepted, including Medicaid, and Spanish-speaking programming is offered.

UCHealth's online therapy for teens offers expert-led group and individual sessions, as well as virtual support for parents and caregivers.
