San Luis is growing, and this community deserves care that grows with it.

For years, families have had to travel to Yuma for advanced care. We’re changing that.

Our San Luis Campus will offer emergency services and expand advanced services right here in South County, because the best care shouldn't be miles away, it should be close to home, close to family and close to you.

Yesterday, our Diabetes Education Committee was at the San Luis Senior Center offering free, real-time HbA1c diabetes testing to the community.

This initiative was pitched at Shark Tank during Innovation Week last November and funded by the Foundation of Onvida Health. With a $5,000 investment, the team launched portable HbA1c testing at community events, making immediate, free diabetes screening accessible to those who need it most.

Community members received free testing with immediate results, diabetes education, culturally sensitive counseling, and guidance on next steps and follow-up care. The HbA1c test measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months, helping detect diabetes early so individuals can take action sooner and improve their health outcomes.

We’re proud of our Diabetes Education Committee and thankful to the Foundation of Onvida Health for continuing to invest in the health of our community.

It takes a great team to save a heart.❤️ This American Heart Month, we recognize the dedicated professionals behind every second that counts.

From EMS in the field to our Emergency Department staff and cardiac catheterization lab team, each member plays a crucial role in treating ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), one of the most serious types of heart attacks.

Their seamless coordination is measured by door-to-balloon time, this is the time from a patient’s arrival to the moment a blocked coronary artery is opened and blood flow is restored.

At Onvida Health, our average door-to-balloon time is around 60 minutes, well below the national guideline of 90 minutes. As the only hospital in Yuma County with an on-site cardiac cath lab, we can treat patients locally, without transfers or delays, giving them the best chance for a full recovery.

This is teamwork in action, powered by skill, dedication and a shared commitment to our community’s heart health.

Every second counts. Every heartbeat matters.

Dr. Kameel Kassab, Interventional Cardiologist, explains why “door-to-balloon time” is one of the most critical measures in emergency heart care.

Thanks to the expertise and rapid collaboration of our EMS partners, Emergency Department staff and our Cardiac Cath Lab, we’re able to restore blood flow quickly when minutes make all the difference.

If you or someone near you experiences warning signs of a heart attack, call 911 immediately. Do not drive yourself to the hospital. Paramedics begin life-saving care before you even arrive.

During American Heart Month and every day of the year, we are here 24/7 for our community.

We started our morning with Radio Sin Fronteras 99.9 FM!

Romeo Barcenas, RN, Emergency Medical Services Coordinator and Cynthia Brotherton, RN, Chest Pain Program Coordinator, joined the conversation to talk about heart health, stroke awareness and what our community should know in a medical emergency.

They discussed the warning signs and symptoms of stroke and heart attack and the importance of recognizing them early. They emphasized that when it comes to these emergencies, every minute matters.

Most importantly, they reminded everyone: don’t drive to the hospital by yourself and call 911. Activating EMS right away ensures patients receive immediate care and life-saving treatment can begin before arriving at the hospital.

We’re grateful to Radio Sin Fronteras for the opportunity to connect with our community and share information that helps everyone stay informed, prepared and protected.
