Our CEO Brian recently spent the day with Ally, an ICU nurse at Lone Peak Hospital! He learned how the discharge and admit process works and got to experience a day in the life on our 4th floor Med/Surg & ICU unit!

"Ally demonstrates every single one of our core values so well," says Brian. "She's been part of Team Lone Peak for nearly 8 years. It is a pleasure to work with her!"

The goal of the Walk-a-Mile program is to help leaders across HCA Healthcare gain a better understanding of where leadership can partner with hospital colleagues to identify best practices, streamline workflows, and create efficiencies that give our people more time at the bedside.

She recently earned her NCC Credentials in Inpatient Obstetric Nursing (RNC-OB) and Electronic Fetal Monitoring (C-EFM) 👏 These rigorous tests evaluate an experienced nurse's understanding of pregnancy complications, labor & birth, postpartum recover, newborn care, and more.

Achieving board certification demonstrates a nurse’s knowledge reflects national standards and a deep commitment to patient safety. Way to go, Leah!

Our COO Wil recently joined Ruby to learn what it takes to be part of our Environmental Services team! Here they are pictured getting ready to learn the right technique to get the bathrooms cleaned and sanitized in between patients. "By the end of the night, he's going to be a toilet whisperer," Ruby joked.

Ruby spends a typical shift working hard to refresh between 12-20 rooms: not counting other discharges that may arise! We are so grateful for her and our entire EVS team! They are vital to making sure each patient has a safe, high-quality healthcare experience.

The goal of the “Walk-a-Mile" program is to help leaders across HCA Healthcare and MountainStar Healthcare gain a better understanding of where leadership can partner with hospital colleagues to identify best practices, streamline workflows, and create efficiencies that give our people more time at the bedside.

School may be underway, but there’s still time for one last camping adventure. Keep your family safe with these smart camping tips for kids:

1. Buddy up. Even bathroom breaks need a partner.
2. Set boundaries. Mark clear campsite limits so kids know where it’s safe to explore.
3. Look, don’t eat. Teach kids not to snack on berries, mushrooms or other wild plants.
4. Steer clear of rash-causing plants. Learn to spot poison ivy, oak and sumac. Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes and wash hands often.
5. Shoes on, always. Protect little feet from thorns, rocks and other sharp objects.
6. Tools aren’t toys. Keep kids away from axes, knives and other dangerous gear.
7. No petting wildlife. Even friendly-looking animals can carry disease or bite.
8. Review fire safety. Go over rules before the marshmallows roast — supervised fun is safest.

While no one plans for an emergency, it’s important to be prepared. Lone Peak Hospital has 2 ER locations in the South Salt Lake Valley, open 24/7 with short wait times so you get care FAST!

Congrats to Lizzy, a nursing student on our surgical services team, on being our first ever Flower Bud Award recipient! 🌼

Laura, a PACU nurse at Lone Peak Hospital and Lizzy's preceptor, nominated Lizzy for the recognition. She said, "From the get go, even before she started, she was very proactive. She was always willing to help and learn as much as she could. I never had to tell her anything twice. She was a fast learner and caught on quickly. By the time she finished her capstone, she was more than competent to care for a PACU patient. Lizzy was always happy and brought great energy to the unit. I feel very lucky to have been able to meet and train her!"

The Flower Bud Award is a prestigious recognition presented to nursing students who exemplify the core qualities of compassion, empathy, and professionalism that characterize the nursing profession. These students demonstrate a steadfast commitment to excellence in their journey to become future nurses as evidenced by their enthusiasm for learning and proactively pursuing hands-on clinical experiences.

Join us in congratulating Lizzy on this recognition! 👏 Learn more about our surgical services program ➡️ LonePeakHospital.com/Surgery

Last week April Briggs-James, AVP of Quality at HCA Healthcare's Mountain Division joined Laura from Case Management and Shane from Supply Chain for a "Walk in Your World" event! Leaders across MountainStar Healthcare shadowed hospital colleagues in various departments and locations. This program is about listening to the voices that matter most: the caregivers and team members who play a part in delivering compassionate, patient-centered care!

"Laura brings over 30 years of nursing experience to her role, including more than a decade of service at Lone Peak. She truly embodies the hospital's "Care Like Family" philosophy," said April. "It was also a joy to reconnect with Shane, with whom I had the privilege of working at a previous facility. Seeing him now in a leadership role as Director of Supply Chain was inspiring. He offered valuable insights into the critical role supply chain plays behind the scenes." Thanks for joining our team for the day, April!

At Lone Peak Hospital, we're proud to be part of HCA Healthcare, where patient safety and quality care are top priorities. Our leaders walked alongside our dedicated colleagues, recognizing successes, identifying opportunities, and, most importantly, listening to feedback on how we can further remove barriers and enhance the patient and caregiver experience.

At Lone Peak Hospital, we strive to care for our patients as if they were our own family member and often use the tagline “Care Like Family.” For orthopedic surgeon Dr. Charley Marshall of Peak Orthopedics, this phrase has become literal! His 20-year-old son, Will, spent his summer working as an ER tech and orderly, sometimes right alongside his dad in the operating room.

For Dr. Marshall, it is a special experience to watch Will work beside him. “I get to see the whole experience through his eyes. It reminds me of where I started. I began as an orderly myself. The experience helps you decide what you want to do, who you want to be, and what culture you want to be part of.”

As for the future, Will is keeping his options open but says, “I think it would be pretty cool to continue the family business!” If Will does pursue medicine, he would be the third generation of Dr. Marshalls to do so!

Outside of work, the Marshalls are just as close. They ski, mountain bike, and play golf together. “It is great because he is my after-work buddy too,” Dr. Marshall said.
