St. John’s Health is a proud sponsor of Jackson Hole International Film Festival. Last night, oncologist Melissa Cohen, MD, and surgical specialist Eric Wieman, MD, joined film producer Tony Benna and Christy Fox, CEO of the JHIFF, for the screening of "André Is an Idiot" and a post-film panel discussion.

The film tells the poignant and surprisingly humorous story of André, a man facing a terminal colon cancer diagnosis because he didn't get a colonoscopy.

Join us for a special screening of André Is an Idiot, the 2025 Sundance Audience Award winner for Best U.S. Documentary, at the Jackson Hole International Film Festival.

This powerful documentary follows André Ricciardi, a San Francisco advertising executive (and self-described “idiot”) whose life is transformed after a stage four colon cancer diagnosis. Directed by his close friend, filmmaker Tony Benna, the film offers an intimate and deeply human look at André's journey alongside his family and friends.

Post-Screening Q&A: Stay after the film for a 20-minute conversation with filmmaker Tony Benna, SJH oncologist Dr. Melissa Cohen, and SJH surgical specialist Dr. Eric Wieman.

André, a brilliant idiot, is dying because he didn’t get a colonoscopy. His sobering diagnosis, complete irreverence, and insatiable curiosity, send him on an unexpected journey learning how to die happily and ridiculously without losing his sense of humor.

Our cross-departmental HazMat Response Team recently completed three days of intensive training to strengthen our emergency preparedness.

Staff from the ER, ICU, Radiology, Respiratory Therapy, OB, Lab, Education, and House Supervisors came together to build a coordinated response capability. The first two days focused on train-the-trainer certification, and on day three, our newly certified trainers led hands-on training for SJH staff.
