What a meaningful morning with our GoldenCare community! 💛 Yesterday we hosted a screening of Denying Gravity by SAGES Theater, a fall prevention play for seniors by seniors, followed by an Q&A filled with valuable advice from our teams across Valley.

We shared fall-prevention resources from our Emergency Department, Neuroscience Institute, Pharmacy, Rehabilitation, Lifestyle Medicine, Palliative Care, and our Clinic Network, as well as our partners at Tri-Med.

Thank you to everyone who joined in, and to Chateau at Valley Center for sponsoring coffee & snacks! Together we’re empowering each other to stay steady, safe, and confident at home.

🚨 Measles Case Identified at Valley Medical Center 🚨

We are responding to a confirmed case of measles on our main campus. The patient was seen in our Emergency Department on Sunday, Oct. 26, between 8:10 and 12:05 AM and was moved to a private room within minutes of arrival.

Our top priority is the safety of our patients, staff, and visitors. We are working closely with Public Health - Seattle & King County to identify and notify anyone who may have been exposed.

If you have symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, or a rash, DO NOT go directly to a clinic or hospital. Please call ahead so staff can take the right precautions.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a good reminder to schedule your annual mammogram if you’re due. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes and the best way to catch breast cancer early is by getting regular screening mammograms.

Worried a mammogram will hurt? Valley Primary Care Provider Thuy Pham, DO, let us come along as she experienced her first mammogram.

“Now that I’ve done my first mammogram, I can tell my patients from firsthand experience that the entire process was very easy,” Dr. Pham said. “Hopefully, it kind of takes the fear out of what a mammogram is all about and the importance of it.”

Watch Dr. Pham’s entire mammogram journey: https://youtu.be/PgBBT-K28so
