When Dov Siporin was a patient here, he dressed as a turkey and shared Thanksgiving treats with patients and staff. His family continues this tradition in his memory. We’re grateful for the joy they bring and the beautiful way they honor Dov’s spirit.

Thank you to JMP Software for using their service hours to support our patients and families. Their community food drives filled a truck with shelf-stable items for our pantry, helping us keep patient-family kitchens stocked. We’re grateful for your generosity and teamwork.

Caring for someone with cancer can be demanding, and caregivers often set their own needs aside. Our social workers created the Daily Dozen to help caregivers check in with their well-being each day. Small steps can make a real difference.

After a testicular cancer diagnosis at 23, Connor Finlinson focused on small steps forward. Five weeks after his second surgery, he finished a marathon and felt his life open back up. Now cancer free, he is training for the Boston Marathon. https://bit.ly/47SvK3t

Last week we attended the Rural Health Association of Utah Conference to discuss ways to strengthen healthcare access in rural and frontier communities. These efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to ensuring that distance is never a barrier to receiving exceptional cancer care.

Noelle’s treatment for pancreatic cancer was made possible by research completed more than a decade before she was diagnosed. That work gave her more time with her family and more moments to hold onto to.

When Noelle’s husband Michel was diagnosed with glioblastoma, clinical trials and an immunotherapy study gave him more time and more meaningful moments with the people he loved. Their story is a reminder of the power of research.

We’re excited to announce the opening of the Mountain West’s first angio-CT suite, combining angiography and CT imaging in one space. This innovation allows patients to receive complex interventional treatments in a single visit, with faster recovery and same-day results. https://bit.ly/47D907h
