Meet Michelle. A dedicated nurse from Wyoming, Michelle was working at San Dimas (CA.) Community Hospital, a member of Prime Healthcare, when the unexpected occurred. During one of her shifts on the MST (Med/Surge Telemetry) unit, Michelle experienced a sudden and unexpected seizure. In that critical moment, the team's swift response made all the difference. From the moment Michelle collapsed, her colleagues sprang into action, providing immediate and expert care. Their quick thinking and teamwork not only stabilized her but also exemplified the deep sense of community and support that defines San Dimas Community Hospital. Reflecting on her experience, Michelle shared, "I am very healthy and never had this happen to me before. I am so grateful that my coworkers were able to quickly care for me on the spot. They are such a blessing. Everybody watches out for one another." We are incredibly grateful to have her as part of the San Dimas Community Hospital and Prime Healthcare family. Her story is a testament to the exceptional care and close-knit community that make our hospitals a place where both patients and staff feel at home. Michelle is pictured second to the right along with her team that cared for her. #InPrimeHealth #PatientStories #HealthcareHeroes #communityfirst #sandimas #SanDimasCommunityHospital

Congratulations to the four Prime Healthcare hospitals that have been recognized among hospitals nationwide with a zero-infection rate for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These hospitals — Paradise Valley Hospital (CA), Shasta Regional Medical Center (CA), St. Mary's General Hospital (NJ), and Harlingen Medical Center (TX) — have implemented effective measures to prevent the spread of MRSA, which is an antibiotic-resistant bacteria that remains a serious public health concern. To maintain these results, hospitals follow strict infection control protocols, including: - Frequent handwashing by healthcare workers - Encouraging visitors to maintain hand hygiene - Proper handling of wounds and personal items - Comprehensive cleaning and use of disposable medical equipment This achievement reflects Prime Healthcare's commitment to providing high-quality, safe care to patients across the country.

As temperatures begin to rise this summer, it's important to stay hydrated and cool to avoid heat-related illnesses. Excessive heat can be quite dangerous, leading to exhaustion or stroke, as well as exacerbating other medical conditions. Our teams encourage our communities to drink plenty of water, eat foods with high water content, like watermelon or zucchini, and stay out of the sun for extended periods of time. If you do plan on participating in outdoor activities, avoid the hottest parts of the day, stay in shaded areas, and take frequent breaks. Seek medical care immediately if you begin experiencing heat-related problems and dial 9-1-1 for emergencies. Let's make the most of the summer sun while staying safe and refreshed!
