Running for Recognition. 🏃♀️
Intermountain Health Emergency Room Nurse Angela Barnett is running across Utah to Emergency Departments to recognize the efforts of all ED nurses.
Running helped Angela process the "emotional weight of my work and reconnect with my purpose in nursing and helping others”. She hopes her efforts make nurses feel appreciated and a reminder to care for themselves as much as they do for others. 🫶

Many of our caregivers come from all walks of life. Four of them come from the same immediate family. ♥️
Four of the six Ketchesides work in our Trauma One emergency department at Intermountain Medical Center. They may have different shifts, but help provide great care to patients during a potentially scary visit to our ED.
Though they may not always see each other on the clock, they show up to their shifts with the same purpose. ♥️

Last December, Bryan noticed something wasn’t right while he was getting ready for work. Because he wasn’t experiencing all of the BE FAST symptoms, he didn’t think it could be a stroke.
Trusting his instincts, he drove himself to one of our emergency departments.
Due to his quick action, his care team was able to treat the stroke early and help prevent long-term brain injury. During a stroke, every second matters. About 32,000 neurons die each second. That’s why we say time = brain. ⏳🧠
Today, Bryan is back to shuffling cards, cheering on the Mariners, and making salsa with his family.

This week (May 6–12), we’re celebrating Nurses Week at Intermountain Health and the incredible dedication our nurses bring to patients every day.
Meet Karen Chin, RN – Specialty Cardiology. Before becoming a nurse, Karen spent 14 years working alongside public health nurses—an experience that sparked her

Thank you, Karen, and thank you to all our nurses for the heart you bring to healthcare.
