According to new federal data, Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, UT has the nation’s highest survival rate for heart attack patients. Data recently released from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, shows that Intermountain Medical Center – along with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and NYU Langone Hospital – have the highest 30-day survival rate in the nation for heart attack patients hospitalized for care. “We’re really proud of this achievement,” said Kent Meredith, MD, an interventional cardiologist at Intermountain Medical Center, who helps lead the heart attack treatment program at the hospital. “CMS is a government agency that tracks healthcare outcomes, so it’s free of the biases that can be seen by other reports from internal data. This data shows very directly that patients who were treated at Intermountain Medical Center have the highest percentage of surviving after a heart attack compared to all other hospitals in the United States.” “Many cardiovascular programs, both locally and around the country, place other things before quality, so our foremost dedication to the most appropriate care is unique at Intermountain Medical Center, and that commitment shows in our outcomes,” said Trey O’Neal, MD, who leads the heart attack treatment team at Intermountain Medical Center with Dr. Meredith.
All 21 Intermountain Health hospitals in Utah with labor and delivery departments have received a five-star rating for being breastfeeding-friendly facilities from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services by completing all ten steps of the department’s ‘Stepping Up for Utah Babies’ program. Earning a five-star rating typically takes years. The ten steps of the ‘Stepping Up for Utah Babies’ program are evidence-based maternity care practices that demonstrate optimal support of breastfeeding, as well as improved care experiences and outcomes for non-breastfeeding moms and families. “Earning the five-star breastfeeding-friendly rating from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, signifies our caregivers are both competent and comfortable providing evidence-based education and valuable tools and resources to help families be successful in feeding their infants,” said Tiffany Hanson, MSN, MHA, RNC-OB, executive nursing director, obstetric and neonatal operations at Intermountain Health.
As a single mom to three boys, Melissa has patched up her fair share of skinned knees and injured limbs. But when her 15-year-old son, Dylan, started showing signs of suicidal thoughts, she felt unsure of how to heal the way he was hurting. “Right in that moment, I realized I didn’t know what to do in a mental health crisis,” said Melissa. “You go to the hospital when you break a bone, you go to the hospital when your appendix bursts, where do you go when your mental health is so bad you don’t want to live anymore?” In her uncertainty, she turned to the caregivers at St. George Regional Hospital in St. George, UT. There, an integrated team of nurses, physicians, security staff, and behavioral health specialists supported Dylan and Melissa as they moved toward better mental health together. “I felt like I had 100 cheerleaders behind me, helping me do this huge thing I had started alone,” said Melissa. “His depression will always be there and will always be something he has to work through. To look back on it and know he got the help he needed and the extra love and attention — I'm grateful for everyone who was a part of it.”
