Strokes happen for many reasons. Arterial plaque, atrial fibrillation, genetic disease, even chronic inflammation can all play a role. About 40% of patients leave the hospital without a cause identified.

At McKay-Dee's outpatient stroke clinic, APPs follow up with those patients to accomplish just that. They complete patients’ workups, order additional tests, and help patients understand what happened and how to prevent it going forward.

Happy 2025 to all the 2,100 APPs across Intermountain – for their unwavering dedication to our patients.

Heal from suicidal thoughts:

Know healing is not a linear journey. You likely will have times you relapse into hopelessness. Remember you got through it before and you’ll get through it again.

Recognize triggers and learn how to cope with them or avoid them all together.

Keep up with your provider and the interventions they recommend to you.

Myth: The flu is just a bad cold

Fact: Influenza is far more serious than a common cold. It strikes suddenly, often with fever, cough, chills, and exhaustion . "[Last season] We had about 56 million people ill in the U.S., with 770,000 hospitalized,” said Dr. Tamara Sheffield

Myth: Only kids and older adults need to worry

Fact: “Young, healthy people do get hospitalized with influenza. And they’re often the ones who spread it to grandparents, infants, or others who can’t fight it off,” said Dr. Tamara Sheffield.

Flu can affect pregnant people and their baby particularly hard. People managing conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease may see their symptoms worsen dramatically if they catch influenza.

Myth: You’re only contagious when you feel sick

Fact: Here's one of influenza's trickiest features: you can spread it before you even know you're infected--passing around the infection a full day before symptoms. This "silent spread" is exactly why flu tears through schools, workplaces, and families so quickly. Your best defense is twofold: Get vaccinated to reduce your odds of catching and spreading the flu and stay home the moment you feel unwell.

Did you know...A suicidal crisis is typically very brief.

43% of respondents admitted to the hospital after a su***de attempt said they moved from suicidal thoughts to action in under 10 minutes.

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, make it harder to follow through with an attempt. Keep medications and fi****ms locked, or even have a trusted person hold on to them for the time being.

Expectant moms in their third trimester can get the RSV protection now and pass antibodies onto their baby—protecting them in those first few months of life from hospitalization or more serious complications from RSV.

Infants whose moms didn’t receive the shot during pregnancy, as well as at-risk toddlers, can receive RSV protection starting in October to help protect them from severe illness this winter.

Older adults also can receive RSV protection. The CDC recommends a single dose of any FDA-licensed RSV vaccine for all adults ages 75 and older and adults ages 50–74 who are at increased risk of severe RSV.

Talk to your primary care provider to see what other vaccines or immunizations are recommended for you, based on your age and medical history.
