Every life matters. Every conversation counts.

At Ogden Regional, our Behavioral Health Unit and Alcohol and Chemical Treatment (ACT) program provide critical support to individuals navigating mental health and substance use challenges. These teams work with compassion and expertise to help patients find stability, hope, and healing.

This month, we’re spotlighting QPR: Question. Persuade. Refer. It’s a simple, life-saving approach that anyone can use:

✅Question someone about suicidal thoughts
✅Persuade them to seek help
✅Refer them to the right resources

You don’t have to be a professional to make a difference. Let’s continue to break the silence, reduce stigma, and stand together for mental health and recovery.

Toby and Valerie Alt were visiting their daughter, Aintzane and their first grandchild, Gia, at our MountainStar Healthcare sister facility, Cache Valley Hospital in Logan, when Toby collapsed in his daughter's hospital room. Almost instantly, a small army of our colleagues were attending to the new grandfather. He didn't have a pulse.

The medical team performed CPR and shocked Toby’s body four times, which brought him back to life. Toby, 53, was flown here to Ogden Regional Medical Center where he had surgery to fix his heart.

The family now attributes the timing of Gia’s birth – a couple of weeks early – to Toby surviving the ordeal.

"It’s a miracle. That baby kept my husband and their dad alive. He’s here with us today because she was born," Valerie said, calling the experience a "double blessing."

"It’s like (Gia) knew she needed to get out and we needed grandpa here at the hospital," Aintzane added.

Emergency workers said 53-year-old Toby Alt probably would have died had it not been for the fact he was at a hospital.

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.

If your child gets hurt and you're unsure whether medical care is needed, our experienced, licensed nurses are available for free 24/7 to help guide you on the next steps for care. Call HCA Florida Healthcare's Consult-A-Nurse® line at 844-70-NURSE (844-706-8773).
