A few weeks ago, in recognition of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, our team proudly wore blue—standing united in our commitment to raise awareness and save lives.

By wearing blue, we help start important conversations about symptoms, family history and when to talk with your doctor about screening.

We also took time to honor and stand alongside those affected by colorectal cancer, showing our support for patients, survivors, and their loved ones.

Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer-related death among adults under 50—but it doesn’t have to be. Screening can catch it early, when it’s most treatable, and can even prevent it altogether. That’s why our team is dedicated to sharing this life-saving message.

Thank you to everyone who wore blue and helped spark these important conversations. Let’s keep the momentum going—because awareness leads to action, and action saves lives.

“Colorectal cancer is common and preventable,” says James H. Tabibian, MD, PhD, FACP, Interventional Gastroenterology. “Most adults at average risk should begin screening at age 45, but those with higher risk factors, such as inflammatory bowel disease, family history, or certain genetic syndromes, may need to start earlier.”

Colonoscopy is the gold standard, but screening should be personalized.
Timely screening saves lives. Visit AdventistHealth.org/ColonScreening and talk with a healthcare professional to learn more about what’s right for you.

Access to care looks different in every community — and we’re working to ensure federal leaders understand what that means in rural Central California.

This week, we welcomed United States Department of Health and Human Services Regional Director of the West, Victoria Seaman, to Adventist Health Selma. She met with members of our leadership team as well as Adventist Health President and CEO Kerry L. Heinrich and Public Affairs and Community Impact Executive Julia Drefke.

We shared how Adventist Health is expanding access to care in rural communities by strengthening our workforce and investing in services closer to home, while addressing challenges faced by Medicare and Medicaid patients across the region.

These conversations help bring greater awareness to the needs of rural communities and reinforce our commitment to providing whole-person care, close to home.

Congratulations to Dr. Evan Bloom, our Chief Medical Officer, for being named as one of Becker's Hospital Review's Hospital and Health Systems Chief Medical Officers to Know.

Becker’s Hospital Review, a publication focusing on industry news for healthcare executives, emphasize the important role CMOs play in elevating patient safety, upholding rigorous quality standards, strengthening collaboration between executive leadership and medical staff, and guiding risk management efforts.

Becker's recognized Dr. Bloom for his leadership as chief medical officer for Adventist Health St. Helena and Adventist Health Clear Lake, leading clinical operations, quality and patient safety while aligning physician engagement and governance across both campuses.

At St. Helena, he built new clinical infrastructure, including a vascular and limb salvage program, a regional cardiology call coverage model spanning five hospitals and a formal mortality review structure.

At Clear Lake, Dr. Bloom led the hospital to CMS 5-star quality status for the first time and reduced mortality by 37% in 2025. He also expanded access in a rural tri-county region by launching and growing service lines including pulmonology, rapid care, palliative care, orthopedics, nephrology telemedicine, neurology and pain medicine. A board-certified emergency physician with deep public health and emergency preparedness experience, Dr. Bloom has also served as acting public health officer for Lake County, leading Covid-19 response and securing $3.7 million in public health funding.

Join us in celebrating Dr. Bloom for this much-deserved recognition!

Back to life: Teri’s Knee and Hip Replacement Story

Pain has a way of taking over our lives sometimes, going beyond the physical challenges. That’s exactly what Teri, from Cottonwood, CA, had to endure before she found help and support from Dr. Ryan Moore and our expert team at Adventist Health C**n Joint Replacement Institute

Teri’s journey with our team began in 2017, when she came to us for a partial knee replacement. The results were life changing.

“I followed Dr. Moore’s post-op instructions and was walking the Las Vegas Strip just six weeks later,” she shared. “Eight years later, that knee is still wonderful.”

But years later, Teri faced a new challenge—severe pain in her opposite leg that left her unable to walk or care for her disabled adult son.

“I decided I was too young to be immobile,” she said.

After local treatments didn’t bring relief, Teri returned to the team she knew and trusted. "I had so much life to live and I had people who depended on me. I knew I needed to do this." Within days, she was seen by Dr. Moore.

“He immediately had me at ease… and it turned out it wasn’t my knee—it was my hip.”

With a clear plan in place, Teri moved forward with surgery, feeling hopeful every step of the way.

“Three weeks later, I was rolling into surgery excited and happy. The staff at Adventist Health took really good care of me.”

The results were just as transformative as before. “As promised by Dr. Moore, my knee pain was completely gone after surgery.”

Her recovery was swift—and powerful. “Three weeks later, I was walking without any assistance. Six weeks later, I was back to normal—lifting my son and walking a 12-minute mile.”

Today, Teri is pain-free and back to doing what matters most -- making memories with those she loves.
“I have a new lease on life. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Moore and his team.”

Our headquarters were alive with the sound of [choral] music!

The Pine Hills Adventist Academy Choralaires joined Adventist Health employees in Roseville, California on Wednesday.

“We were so blessed by these students and the life and energy they brought to our space,” said Kristine Johnson, Adventist Health Director for Mission Formation Strategy.

Each week, our interMission program welcomes new speakers and musical guests to share mission-focused stories and inspiration. Under the direction of Music and Performing Arts Director Terri Taaffe, the Choralaires, were just the dose of inspiration needed!
