Just before Memorial Day weekend, a young patient left the hospital without the critical formula they needed to stay healthy. With no time to spare, teams across Intermountain Health jumped into action — tracking down rare supplies, coordinating emergency deliveries, and working late into the night.

St. Mary’s Regional Hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado recently collaborated with the Western Slope chapter of Girls on the Run to provide health education to 26 girls aged 8-11 during their summer camp in early June at a local science museum. The Girls on the Run program focuses on empowering girls to believe in themselves and their capabilities, both mentally and physically. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skills development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy. In addition to sponsoring the week-long camp, St. Mary’s caregivers volunteered as coaches, engaging the girls in a different health topic each day. Topics ranged from the importance of wearing a helmet and looking both ways before crossing the road to learning about healthy eating and staying active. “Teaching children healthy habits early plants seeds that take root and grow into lifelong well-being, shaping their physical, mental, and emotional health for years to come. What we instill in them at a young age becomes the foundation they build upon, enabling them to thrive and make mindful choices as they navigate life’s challenges,” said Victoria Grasmick, community health program manager for St. Mary’s Regional Hospital.
