El nuevo hospital honrará ese legado y, al mismo tiempo, sentará las bases para el próximo siglo de atención extraordinaria”.</span></p><img style="width:374px;" src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/2804/78940373-ca11-488a-92e2-6feed3642f08/800_heather.jpeg?x=1788805175039" width="374" alt="Heather" /><p><span>Después de un análisis exhaustivo de las necesidades de salud de la comunidad de Salt Lake City, las tendencias de los pacientes, los requisitos de las instalaciones y las proyecciones de crecimiento a largo plazo, Intermountain determinó que construir un hospital de reemplazo ofrecería mayor valor y flexibilidad que modernizar el predio actual, ubicado en un vecindario residencial del distrito Avenues de Salt Lake City.</span></p><p><span>“Estamos encantados de contar con un Intermountain LDS Hospital en el centro de la ciudad, construido para apoyar a nuestra próspera comunidad del centro y a toda la ciudad, con un mejor acceso a atención médica de primer nivel”, dijo Erin Mendenhall, alcaldesa de Salt Lake City. “Esto será un enorme beneficio y un recurso para todos nuestros residentes”.</span></p><p><span>El nuevo hospital estará diseñado para brindar atención avanzada y de última generación en un entorno urbano del centro de la ciudad, al mismo tiempo que ofrecerá un entorno accesible y centrado en el paciente para quienes reciben atención, así como para sus familias y cuidadores.</span></p><p><span>“Este proyecto tiene como objetivo preparar la atención médica para el futuro y, al mismo tiempo, honrar más de 100 años de servicio a la comunidad”, dijo Wall. “El nuevo predio de Intermountain LDS Hospital ampliará el acceso, proporcionará un entorno moderno para la recuperación, apoyará el crecimiento económico y ayudará a garantizar que Salt Lake City continúe siendo sede de una atención médica excepcional durante las generaciones venideras”.</span></p><p><span>Los pacientes del nuevo Intermountain LDS Hospital se beneficiarán de un mejor acceso a los servicios de emergencia y cuidados intensivos, con un acceso conveniente a las autopistas, incluidas la Interestatal 15, la Interestatal 80 y la Interestatal 215. También hay numerosas opciones de transporte público junto al nuevo predio del hospital, lo que mejorará el acceso para todos.</span></p><p><span>“Esta es una inversión que se realiza una vez por generación en la salud y el bienestar de nuestra comunidad”, dijo Ralph Jean-Mary, presidente del Utah Central Market de Intermountain Health. “El nuevo Intermountain LDS Hospital refleja nuestro compromiso inquebrantable de brindar a los residentes una atención segura, accesible y de alta calidad. Nos permitirá atender mejor a los pacientes, apoyar a nuestros empleados, adoptar la innovación y satisfacer las necesidades de atención médica de la comunidad para las generaciones futuras”.</span></p><p><span>Los líderes de Intermountain Health afirman que el hospital continuará desempeñando su función de larga trayectoria como proveedor de atención médica de confianza, al mismo tiempo que fortalecerá áreas clave de servicio, entre ellas la atención de traumatismo, salud de la mujer, ortopedia, atención del cáncer, cuidados intensivos, salud conductual y servicios para recién nacidos.</span></p><p><span>Diseñado teniendo a los pacientes y empleados como eje central de cada decisión, el nuevo hospital contará con tecnología avanzada, espacios clínicos flexibles y entornos acogedores que favorezcan la recuperación. Un atrio distintivo y áreas específicas de descanso ofrecerán a los pacientes, las familias y los cuidadores lugares para la reflexión y la renovación.</span></p><img style="width:408px;" src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/2804/8995bf6b-fafc-4a1d-8fef-44833bfd8dcd/800_mayor.jpeg?x=1788805227085" width="408" alt="Mayor" /><p><span>La sostenibilidad también será un enfoque clave, lo que hará que las instalaciones sean uno de los edificios de atención médica con mayor eficiencia energética y de consumo de agua de la región.</span></p><p><span>El nuevo predio incluirá un hospital de 10 pisos con más de 521,000 pies cuadrados de espacio y un edificio adjunto de consultorios médicos de siete pisos. El desarrollo también contará con una plaza pública en la esquina noroeste del terreno, creando un acogedor espacio de reunión que conectará Main Street y State Street y mejorará el vecindario circundante.</span></p><p><span>“Nuestra visión va más allá de construir un hospital”, dijo Eric Liston, presidente de la Región Canyons de Intermountain Health, que incluye Utah e Idaho. “Estamos ayudando a crear un centro de Salt Lake City más saludable y fuerte. Esta inversión apoya el crecimiento económico, amplía el acceso a la atención médica y contribuye a una comunidad dinámica donde las personas pueden vivir, trabajar, disfrutar y prosperar”.</span></p><p><span>Se espera que el proyecto fortalezca la economía regional, al mismo tiempo que apoyará aproximadamente 2,000 puestos de trabajo y generará más de $1.1 mil millones en impacto económico local anual.</span></p><p><span>El nuevo hospital también continuará con el compromiso de larga trayectoria de Intermountain LDS Hospital de brindar atención especializada a mujeres, recién nacidos y familias.</span></p><p><span>“Los servicios incluirán una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales de Nivel II avanzada, suites de parto personalizadas, medicina materno-fetal, servicios de partería y programas de educación familiar diseñados para apoyar a los padres antes y después del parto”, dijo Wall.</span></p><p><span>Otros servicios planificados para el nuevo predio del centro de la ciudad incluyen una sala de emergencias de servicio completo, un centro de acceso a salud conductual, un centro de imagenología, un centro de cirugía ambulatoria, servicios de endoscopia, farmacia, laboratorio, centro de diálisis, unidad de cuidados intensivos disponible las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, servicios de ortopedia, neurología, cardiología, medicina pulmonar, servicios de rehabilitación, gastroenterología, urología, cuidado de heridas y otros programas especializados.</span></p><p><span>Los líderes de Intermountain Health destacaron que este proyecto no sería posible sin la colaboración y el apoyo de los empleados, médicos, donantes, líderes comunitarios, funcionarios públicos de Salt Lake City, socios de construcción y muchas otras personas que comparten una visión para el futuro de la atención médica en Salt Lake City.</span></p><p><span>“La historia de Intermountain LDS Hospital siempre ha sido una historia de comunidad y servicio”, dijo Wall. “Este nuevo hospital representa nuestra promesa de que continuaremos cuidando a las familias de todo el Condado de Salt Lake y el sur del Condado de Davis, no solo hoy, sino durante las próximas décadas. Estamos construyendo sobre un legado extraordinario y, al mismo tiempo, creando nuevas oportunidades para mejorar la salud y hacer avanzar la atención médica para las generaciones futuras”.</span></p><img style="width:517px;" src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/2804/0631260a-1a34-4461-b639-ae1f7754489f/1920_render2.png?x=1788805329111" width="517" alt="Render 2" /><p><span>Actualmente están en marcha las actividades de planificación y desarrollo de la construcción del hospital, incluidos los trabajos de preparación del terreno para el proyecto de construcción.</span></p><p><span>Más adelante este año se anunciarán detalles adicionales sobre los principales hitos y plazos del proyecto a medida que estén disponibles.</span></p><p style="margin-left:0in;"><span>No se han tomado decisiones definitivas con respecto al uso futuro del predio actual de Intermountain LDS Hospital en Avenues una vez que abra el nuevo hospital. Continuará atendiendo a los pacientes como un hospital comunitario de servicio completo mientras los líderes del hospital determinan su uso a largo plazo una vez que abra el nuevo hospital del centro de la ciudad.</span></p><p style="margin-left:0in;"><span>                                                                               ###</span></p><p> </p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Spanish News Releases,LDS Hospital]]></category>

Las investigaciones muestran que las mujeres toman el 80 % de las decisiones relacionadas con la atención médica para sus familias. Por lo tanto, cuanto más informadas estén, más saludables estarán ellas y sus seres queridos.&nbsp;<br><br>Los eventos Ladies Night Out se llevarán a cabo en siete hospitales de Intermountain a lo largo de Wasatch Front, Wasatch Back y en el condado de Sanpete. Pueden asistir mujeres de todas las edades.&nbsp;<br><br>El programa de los eventos Ladies Night Out de Intermountain es el siguiente:&nbsp;<br><br>• Intermountain LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City: martes 24 de septiembre, de 6:00 p. m. a 8:00 p. m.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Riverton Hospital: jueves 26 de septiembre, de 6:30 p. m. a 8:30 p. m.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Heber Valley Hospital: miércoles 2 de octubre, de 6:00 p. m. a 8:00 p. m.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Medical Center, Murray: martes 8 de octubre, de 6:30 p. m. a 8:30 p. m.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Alta View Hospital, Sandy: miércoles 9 de octubre, de 6:00 p. m. a 8:00 p. m.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital, Ogden: jueves 10 de octubre, de 5:30 p. m. a 7:30 p. m.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Sanpete Valley Hospital, Mt. Pleasant: martes 15 de octubre, de 5:00 p. m. a 7:00 p. m.&nbsp;<br><br>“Una de las mejores ventajas de nuestros eventos Ladies Night Out es la oportunidad de conocer a los proveedores de salud de las mujeres en su hospital local, escucharlos y hablar con ellos”, dijo Heather Wall, presidenta del Intermountain LDS Hospital en Salt Lake City. “Estos eventos ayudan a las mujeres a comprender y tomar conciencia sobre los exámenes de salud recomendados, así como conocer los numerosos servicios de atención médica disponibles para las mujeres en nuestros hospitales, en nuestras clínicas y a través de nuestros socios de salud en la comunidad”.&nbsp;<br><br>Las mujeres podrán conocer e interactuar con proveedores de salud especializados en diversas áreas de salud femenina, por ejemplo: atención de las mujeres y los recién nacidos, salud conductual, mamografía, nutrición y pediatría, así como con cuidadores especializados en medicina deportiva, fisioterapia, urología y reconstrucción mamaria.&nbsp;<br><br>“Las decisiones de atención médica que toman las mujeres son cruciales, no solo para su propio bienestar, sino también para la salud de sus familias y comunidades. Si les brindamos el conocimiento, los recursos y el apoyo necesarios para tomar estas decisiones, estaremos contribuyendo a mejorar los resultados de salud pública en nuestras comunidades”, afirmó Wall.&nbsp;<br><br>Los eventos Ladies Night Out de Intermountain ofrecen un ambiente divertido con exhibiciones interactivas, información sobre exámenes de salud y actividades para que las mujeres puedan escuchar a las personas expertas en atención médica o tener la oportunidad de crear algo para llevarse a sus casas. Habrá alimentos saludables para degustar preparados por los chefs del hospital, obsequios, sorteos de premios y mucho más.&nbsp;<br><br>El evento Ladies Night Out del LDS Hospital contará con un panel de cuatro proveedores especializados en la salud de las mujeres. En el evento, las mujeres también podrán recibir una vacuna contra la gripe o programar una mamografía. Además, podrán crear y llevarse a sus casas un arreglo de plantas suculentas dentro de una calabaza pequeña.&nbsp;<br><br>Las mujeres saldrán de estos eventos con un conocimiento más profundo sobre los exámenes de salud y los servicios necesarios en cada etapa de sus vidas, desde la adolescencia hasta el parto y el período de posparto. Esto incluirá información sobre la prevención del cáncer de mama a través de mamografías regulares, los desafíos de la menopausia y mucho más.&nbsp;<br><br>Para obtener más información sobre los eventos, incluidas las fechas y los horarios, visite la <a href="https://connect.intermountainhealth.org/ladies-night-out" target="_blank">página de Ladies Night Out de Intermountain</a> en intermountainhealth.org, o siga la página de Intermountain Health o de su hospital local de Intermountain en <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Intermountain" target="_blank">Facebook</a> o <a href="https://www.instagram.com/intermountain/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.&nbsp;<br><br>###&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[LDS Hospital,Heber Valley Hospital,Intermountain Medical Center,Alta View Hospital,McKay-Dee Hospital,Riverton Hospital,sanpete valley hospital,women&#039;s health,Spanish News Releases]]></category>

Research shows women make 80 percent of the healthcare decisions for their families. So, the more informed they are, the healthier they and their loved ones can be.&nbsp;<br><br>The Ladies Night Out events will take place at seven Intermountain hospitals along the Wasatch Front, in the Wasatch Back, and in Sanpete County. Women of any age can attend.&nbsp;<br><br>The Intermountain Ladies Night Out schedule is as follows:&nbsp;<br><br>• Intermountain LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City: Tuesday, Sept. 24, 6-8 pm.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Riverton Hospital, Thursday, Sept. 26, 6:30-8:30 pm.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Heber Valley Hospital, Wednesday, Oct. 2, 6-8 pm.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Medical Center, Murray: Tuesday, Oct. 8, 6:30-8:30 pm.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Alta View Hospital, Sandy: Wednesday, Oct. 9, 6-8 pm.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital, Ogden: Thursday, Oct. 10, 5:30-7:30 pm.&nbsp;<br>• Intermountain Sanpete Valley Hospital, Mt. Pleasant: Wednesday, Oct. 15, 5-7 pm.&nbsp;<br><br>“One of the best things about our Ladies Night Out events is the chance to get to know the women’s health providers at your local hospital, to hear from them and talk to them,” said Heather Wall, president of Intermountain LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City. “These events give women an awareness and understanding of recommended health screenings and the many healthcare services available for women in our hospitals and clinics and from our community health partners.”&nbsp;<br><br>Women will be able to meet and interact with women’s health providers from various medical specialties, such as: women and newborn care, behavioral health, mammography, nutrition, and pediatrics, as well as caregivers who specialize in women’s sports medicine, physical therapy, urology, and breast reconstruction.&nbsp;<br><br>“The healthcare decisions women make are vitally important, not just for their own well-being, but also for the health of their families and communities. As we empower women with knowledge, resources, and support to make these decisions, it will help improve the public health outcomes for our communities,” said Wall.&nbsp;<br><br>Intermountain Ladies Night Out events offer a fun atmosphere with interactive displays, health screening information and activities for women to hear healthcare experts, or opportunities to create something to take home. There will be healthy food options to sample from hospital chefs, free giveaways, prize drawings and more.&nbsp;<br><br>The LDS Hospital Ladies Night Out event will feature a panel of four women’s health-related providers. Women can also get a flu shot at the event or schedule a mammogram. Women can also create and take home a succulent plant arrangement inside a mini pumpkin.&nbsp;<br><br>Women will leave each event with an increased knowledge of health screenings or services they might need for whatever stage of life they’re in from adolescence to childbirth, to the postpartum period to helping to prevent breast cancer with regular mammograms, and through the ups and downs of menopause and beyond.&nbsp;<br><br>For more information about the events, including dates and times, visit the <a href="https://connect.intermountainhealth.org/ladies-night-out" target="_blank">Intermountain Health Ladies Night Out webpage</a> on intermountainhealth.org or follow Intermountain Health or your local Intermountain hospital on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Intermountain" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/intermountain/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.&nbsp;<br><br>###&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[women&#039;s health,ladies night out,LDS Hospital,Riverton Hospital,Heber Valley Hospital,Intermountain Medical Center,Alta View Hospital,McKay-Dee Hospital,sanpete valley hospital]]></category>

"You will know when and where you can be fast and efficient, as well as when and where you have to go slow and deliberate to make sure you get all the cancer."</span></p><p><span>Intermountain Health is now just one of two health systems in the nation – and the only one in Utah - approved to use this new technology.</span></p><p><span>For cancer patients, the 3D model helps them better understand the complexity of the anatomy and the surgical procedure. Dr. Kim now uses the model for his preoperative visits with his patients to explain the procedure.</span></p><p><span>"It's a very powerful tool to educate the patients and to reassure them that we have a very clear plan," Dr. Kim said.</span></p><p><span>One of Dr. Kim's patients who benefited from the technology was Tom Evans, a 50-year-old schoolteacher from Riverton, Utah.</span></p><p><span>Evans had been diagnosed with stage three colon cancer in 2022, and he was now facing a recurrence of the cancer. He had already undergone a round of chemotherapy and radiation when he was told he needed surgery to remove the tumor.</span></p><p><span>The new 3D technology allowed Dr. Kim to map out what he would find during the March 14, 2024, surgery at Intermountain LDS Hospital – and to remove the tumor with extreme precision.</span></p><p><span>Evans said he was excited when Dr. Kim told him, "We got all of the cancer."</span></p><p><span>The surgery took five hours and involved using robotics, which required Dr. Kim to sit at a computer console to manipulate the robotic arms and view the 3D images.</span></p><p><span>"Tom, do you care if I nerd out with you for a minute?" Dr. Kim asked him after the surgery.</span></p><p><span>He then proceeded to show him how the cancer came very close to his bladder and how the technology gave him the confidence and assurance to avoid damaging it.</span></p><p><span>"It was remarkable," Evans said afterward.</span></p><p><span>At the time Evans didn’t realize he was making history.</span></p><p><span>“About a month later after my procedure, Dr. Kim let me know I was the first person in the world to receive this groundbreaking technology,” said Evans. “I was taken aback, awestruck, and humbled to have the benefits of this procedure, which did make a difference.”</span></p><p><span>With the use of robotics, recovery time is typically shorter, so Evans was able to return home two days later and is now looking forward to getting back to his students and teaching.</span></p><p><span>Evans is also looking forward to more walks and hikes with his seven children, ages 6 to 25.</span></p><p><span>He said he is fortunate and blessed to have this technology available at Intermountain LDS Hospital, which was approved just three days before his surgery.</span></p><p><span>"I'm very grateful and I'm sure the 500th person will be grateful too to have a better quality of life," Evans said.</span></p><p><span>Evans urges people to get screened for colon cancer, which is often undetectable and considered a silent killer.</span></p><p><span>"Make sure you get checked, see your doctor, and get your colonoscopies," Evans advised.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span>###</span></p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Cancer treatment,Innovation,LDS Hospital,3D modeling]]></category>
