Today, our team at Telluride Regional Medical Center is taking a moment to reflect on the people and community that make this valley feel like home. We’re grateful for every patient who walks through our doors, for the trust you place in us, and for the compassion and resilience that define this region year after year.

On this Thanksgiving Day, we’d love to hear from you in the comments — what’s one thing you’re grateful for today?

Please note: the Medical Center is closed today for the holiday, but we’ll be back seeing patients tomorrow, and our Saturday Clinics return this weekend as we head into the winter season.

Wishing you a warm, healthy, and safe holiday.

* Higher Risk Patients: If you have a BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutation, received chest radiation before age 30, or have certain hereditary syndromes, your provider may recommend a more intensive schedule—sometimes alternating mammograms with breast MRIs every six months. Genetic testing is something that you can discuss with your provider if you have a strong family history of certain cancers.

* Follow-Up After an Abnormal Result: If a mammogram shows something unusual, your provider may recommend additional imaging such as a diagnostic mammogram or ultrasound. Sometimes the plan is a short-term follow-up in 6 months, while other times you’ll return to your regular annual schedule.

At Telluride Regional Medical Center, we’ll review your records to see when your last mammogram was completed, and if nothing is on file, we’ll ask you directly to make sure you get the right care.

Call us at (970) 728-3848 to schedule an appointment.

* Pacientes de mayor riesgo: si tiene una mutación genética BRCA1/BRCA2, o si recibió radiación en el pecho antes de los 30 años o tiene ciertos síndromes hereditarios, su médico puede recomendar un programa más intensivo, a veces alternando mamografías con resonancias magnéticas cada seis meses. Las pruebas genéticas son algo que puede hablar con su médico si tiene antecedentes familiares sólidos de ciertos cánceres.

* Seguimiento después de un resultado anormal: si una mamografía muestra algo inusual, su médico puede recomendar imágenes adicionales, como una mamografía de diagnóstico o una ecografía. A veces, se hace un seguimiento de 6 meses, mientras que otras veces se vuelve al examen anual regular.

En la clínica de Telluride, revisaremos sus registros médicos para ver cuándo se completó su última mamografía y, si no hay nada registrado, le pediremos que se asegure de recibir la atención adecuada.

As cooler weather sets in, cases of upper respiratory infections (URIs) inevitably rise. During this time, many parents and caregivers face a familiar dilemma: Should I bring my child in for testing, or wait it out at home?

When to Seek Emergency Care

* A fever of 104°F (40.0°C) or higher which is unresponsive to Tylenol or Ibuprofen
* Unresponsiveness or extreme lethargy
* If child appears to be struggling to breathe
* Persistent vomiting
* Inability to drink fluids (Infant: 3-4 hours / Toddler & above: 6-8 hours)
* No urine output (Infant: 4-6 hours / Toddler & above: 6-12 hours)
* Severe sore throat or swollen glands that make it difficult to swallow or breathe

When a Primary Care Visit Is Appropriate

If your child is alert, able to drink fluids, and their symptoms do not match those listed above, it’s reasonable to manage symptoms at home or to schedule an appointment with their primary care provider the following day or soon after.

Inevitablemente, a medida que llega el clima más frío, los casos de infecciones de las vías respiratorias superiores aumentan. Durante este tiempo, muchos padres y cuidadores enfrentan un dilema familiar: ¿debo llevar a mi hijo/a para que se haga una prueba o espero en casa? Decidir entre controlar los síntomas en casa, una visita a su médico o, en ciertos casos, un viaje a la sala de emergencias puede ser estresante.

Cuándo buscar atención de emergencia:

* Fiebre de 104 °F (40.0 °C) o más que no la baje ni el Tylenol ni el Ibuprofeno
* Falta de respuesta o letargo extremo
* Dificultades para respirar
* Vómitos persistentes
* Incapacidad para beber líquidos (bebé: 3-4 horas, 2 o más años: 6-8 horas)
* Sin orinar (bebé: 4-6 horas, 2 o más años: 6-12 horas)
* Dolor de garganta intenso o glándulas inflamadas que dificultan la deglución o la respiración

Si su hijo/a está alerta, puede beber líquidos y los síntomas no coinciden con los mencionados anteriormente, es razonable controlar los síntomas en casa o programar una cita con un médico al día siguiente o poco después.

At Telluride Regional Medical Center, Paula’s work embodies what dedicated care management looks like. “My goal is for patients to fully understand pre-diabetes and diabetes,” Paula explains. “I want them to become ‘best friends’ with it. When people understand the condition, they are empowered to manage it effectively.”

Now, as a certified CDCES and bilingual educator, Paula is expanding access to high-quality, culturally responsive diabetes care—especially for Spanish-speaking and underserved patients in the region. Her work is instrumental in helping patients improve their quality of life, prevent disease progression, and reduce the risk of complications.

“We’re incredibly proud of Paula’s achievement,” said Dr. Sharon Grundy, Medical Director at Telluride Regional Medical Center. “Her experience, compassion, and dedication are a tremendous asset to our team and to the community we serve.”

En la clínica de Telluride, el trabajo de Paula expresa cómo es la gestión de la atención médica dedicada. " Mi objetivo es que los pacientes comprendan completamente la prediabetes y la diabetes", explica Paula. "Quiero que se conviertan en ‘mejores amigos’ con dicha afección. Cuando las personas entienden lo que tienen, están capacitadas para manejarlo de manera efectiva".

Ahora, como educadora bilingüe y certificada, Paula está ampliando el acceso a la atención de alta calidad y culturalmente receptiva de la diabetes, especialmente para los pacientes de habla hispana y aquellos con servicio médico insuficiente en la región. Su trabajo es fundamental para ayudar a los pacientes a mejorar su calidad de vida, prevenir la progresión de la enfermedad y reducir el riesgo de complicaciones.

"Estamos increíblemente orgullosos del logro de Paula", dice la Dra. Sharon Grundy, directora médica de la clínica de Telluride. "Su experiencia, compasión y dedicación son un gran recurso para nuestro equipo y para la comunidad a la que servimos".
