The next Mariposa blood drive is Thursday, March 19. Donated blood is essential for surgeries, cancer treatments, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Donating one unit of blood may save the lives of up to three people. The process is quick, safe, and easy. It is a lifesaving resource for those with critical health conditions, and there's a shortage.

This Thursday: Hospital Build Strategic Planning Meeting

Due to limited seating we strongly recommend attending online. The Foundation will also publish the recording once it is available.

✅ Important clarification: These meetings are not to design or plan the new hospital building itself. The building permits have been submitted to the county, and plans have been submitted to the state and are currently under review.

🏥 So what ARE these meetings for?
These meetings are to discuss how the new hospital building will be integrated with the existing campus, including what happens to the current ER and acute care spaces once those services move into the new building and the old areas become vacant. This is about the overall campus and the future of JCF.

Feb 22 is Heart Valve Disease Day. Heart valve disease (valve disease) involves damage to one or more of the heart’s four valves. That damage keeps them from opening or closing properly and disrupts blood flow.

As many as 15.3 million Americans have valve disease.

Valve disease symptoms can be subtle so be sure to pay attention to your body and LISTEN to Your Heart.

L- lightheaded, faint, or dizzy feelings
I - irregular heartbeat, heart flutter, or chest pains
S - shortness of breath after light activity or while laying down
T - Tiredness and fatigue, even after getting a lot of sleep
E - Edema (swelling of the ankles and feet) or abdominal swelling
N - Not feeling like yourself (missing out on daily activities)
