CENTURA.ORG Empathy and Compassion Can Keep Our Communities Flourishing Through These Difficult Times | Centura Health Centura Health 7 hrs · Important words from Dr. Andrew French: "While early confusion was fueled by initial messaging that face coverings don’t minimize exposure to the virus, the science is abundantly clear - masks do guard against community spread. In other words, by wearing masks, we protect others. And since asymptomatic infection with COVID-19 happens frequently, universal mask-wearing is an essential tool in our protection arsenal while we wait on a vaccine."

The arrival of the first vaccine for COVID-19 is a momentous occasion, but it will take many months for supply to catch up with demand. In the meantime, COVID-19 remains a dangerous and deadly virus.

Dr. Andrew French was one of the first Centura Health caregivers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine last week. Here's an update on how he's feeling as well as some notes about the differences between the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines being administered to our caregivers across Colorado and western Kansas.
We share your excitement about the expanding number of Coloradans eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, including the essential workers and residents 70 and older identified in the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s updated Phase 1B. Please know we are working hard with our state and local public health partners to safely and quickly distribute the vaccine. When we have a vaccine available for you, Centura Health will contact you through your MyCenturaHealth account with specific instructions on how to make an appointment. If you don’t have a MyCenturaHealth account, we will provide instructions on how to create one once you are eligible for the vaccine. We are not currently able to provide walk-in vaccinations. For more information about the COVID-19 vaccine, please visit https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information.
Unlike the typical flu vaccine, the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna require two doses for maximum effectiveness. Learn more at https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information.
We understand your eagerness to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. We're similarly eager to provide that vaccination to you. Dr. Shauna Gulley, our Chief Clinical Officer, talks about the appointment process and how our patients will be notified when a vaccine dose is available for them. For more information about the vaccine, visit https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information.
Centura Health remains committed to quickly and safely administering COVID-19 vaccinations in accordance with the state of Colorado’s tiered distribution plan. We know that the sooner Coloradans are vaccinated, the sooner this devastating pandemic can come to an end. We will send you an invitation to receive the vaccine based on your age, health risk factors and the tiering system established by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. No walk-in vaccination clinics are planned for the initial phases of vaccine distribution. For more information about the vaccine, visit https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information.

We're excited to be partnering with school districts and other key community organizations to begin vaccinating essential workers in accordance with Phase 1B of Colorado's vaccine distribution schedule. “There are hundreds of thousands of people in that category and we’re going to ensure every person over time is offered an opportunity to get the COVID-19 vaccine,” says Dr. Shauna Gulley, our Chief Clinical Officer. THEDENVERCHANNEL.COM School nurses receive COVID-19 vaccine as distribution widens
More than 13,000 Centura Health associates have now received their first COVID-19 vaccinations, and we recently invited more than 9,000 community partners to receive the vaccine in our hospitals, with many more to come in the weeks ahead. Here, OB nurse Robin Johnson receives her first shot at Parker Adventist Hospital. "I'm proud to say I received the Pfizer vaccine the first day it was offered," Robin says. With each dose of vaccine administered, we move closer to an end to this devastating pandemic.
While initial studies indicate the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are approximately 95% effective at preventing recipients from getting sick with COVID-19, it is not yet clear whether those who have been vaccinated can still be asymptomatic spreaders of the virus. For this reason, we strongly recommend everyone – including people who have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine – continue to practice safe behaviors such as wearing a face mask, practicing social distancing, washing your hands frequently, and staying home when sick. https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information
Q: Do I need to call my doctor’s office to get a COVID-19 vaccine? A: You do not need to call your doctor’s office to get a vaccine. We will send an invitation by email through your MyCenturaHealth patient portal. Please note that a scheduled appointment is required to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. We are unable to accommodate walk-ins at this time. More of your COVID-19 vaccine questions answered here: https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information
"Here's to Dad," Centura Health anesthesiologist Dr. Gregory Fauteux said this week as he received his second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Fauteux knows the devastation COVID-19 can cause; the virus took his father's life November 22. "One of the true tragedies is that there are over 350,000 people just like him - someone's father, someone's brother, someone's mother, someone's daughter, and we just need to take it seriously." We're working day and night to get the vaccine to as many of you as possible and as quickly as possible in accordance with state guidelines for vaccine distribution. While this process plays out, it's essential that all of us continue to do the things we know stop the spread of this deadly virus: wear a face mask, social distance, practice good hand hygiene, and stay home when sick. Thank you, Rocky Mountain PBS, for the story. RMPBS.ORG Doctor who lost his father to COVID-19 receives second dose of vaccine

Dr. Stephen Cobb: "It's very important to get that second dose, and the reason why is you want to have all the benefit this vaccine provides."

"I received my vaccine for myself, for my husband (so he stays well), for my patients (so I can continue to be healthy to care for them), for my family (hoping we can see each other soon), for my community (because I want to reassure them and encourage them to continue to practice prevention), and in memory of those we have lost to COVID-19." Learn more about the vaccine, including how to sign up to receive updates about the vaccine and its availability, at https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information.
Our caregivers talk about why they're choosing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and why they recommend you do as well. For answers to your vaccine questions, visit https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information.

Our hospitals and clinics are much greater than the sum of their parts. Providing exceptional patient care and experience involves countless associates and departments - from Environmental Services to Pastoral Care to Nutritional Services to Sterile Processing and so many more. Thanks to KOAA 5 for shining a spotlight on some of those critical team members and the indispensable roles they play. KOAA.COM Unsung heroes share stories from front lines of COVID-19 pandemic
Getting a COVID-19 vaccine doesn't mean we can immediately return to pre-pandemic behaviors. In fact, it remains critical that we all continue to follow safety protocols such as mask-wearing, hand-washing and social distancing. Our Dr. Andrew French explains why.
We're committed to ensuring everyone in our communities -- regardless of race, color or ability to pay -- has access to COVID-19 vaccinations as well as reliable information and education about the vaccine. To raise awareness about the vaccine in Spanish-speaking communities, we're holding vaccination clinics for promotoras. In Latinx communities, promotoras are community members who receive specialized training to provide health education to their fellow residents. The first promotoras vaccination clinic, held this past week at St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, is just part of our ongoing effort to address longstanding inequities in vaccination rates in communities of color.

Congratulations to our entire team of Longmont United Hospital caregivers for these incredible recognitions from Healthgrades!

We're committed to providing COVID-19 vaccinations equitably across our communities while following the state's phased prioritization. For the latest information about the vaccine and its distribution, visit us at https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information.
Our bodies don't develop instant immunity after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine - particularly after the first dose. That means we remain susceptible to contracting and spreading the virus, even up to two weeks after receiving the second dose. We realize it can be confusing to keep up with all the latest vaccine news. But we're here to help. Visit our Vaccine Information page at https://www.centura.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-information for clarity and answers.
Today is National Wear Red Day, part of a coast-to-coast effort to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and to save lives. Here are some great reasons to GO RED today: G: Get Your Numbers. Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and cholesterol. O: Own Your Lifestyle. Stop smoking, lose weight, exercise, and eat healthy. It's up to you. No one can do it for you. R: Realize Your Risk. We think it won't happen to us, but heart disease kills one of every three women. E: Educate Your Family. Make healthy food choices for you and your family. Teach your kids the importance of staying active. D: Don't Be Silent. Tell every woman you know that heart disease is our No. 1 killer.

Johnny Cashmore needed a kidney transplant, and his wife Jessica was willing to donate one of hers. When she wasn't a match, they did the next best thing -- participated in a paired exchange in which Jessica donated her kidney to someone on the list for whom she was a match. This living donation chain is still going, with seven people having received kidneys from it. Johnny's procedure was performed at Centura Transplant at Porter Adventist Hospital. Dr. Alex Wiseman, executive director of kidney transplant at Centura Transplant, says paired exchanges such as the one that benefitted the Cashmore family can significantly decrease the wait time for a needed transplant. "Anytime that you can see something that seems to be not a possibility, turn into a possibility, it just is truly rewarding," Dr. Wiseman says.

This Valentine's Day is a little sweeter knowing 2,000 educators across our communities received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine Saturday. With a special allotment of vaccine from the state, we held educator vaccination clinics at six Centura hospitals yesterday, including ours. We're administering more educator doses at clinics early this week as well. We know vaccinating our teachers helps ensure the promise of an eventual return to normalcy, allowing educators to more quickly get back to the work they love -- providing face-to-face instruction for our young learners. ❤️
We are feelin the love at Longmont United Hospital this week! Thank you to the National Junior Honor Society at Altona Middle School for making and delivering these handwritten Valentine's Day cards for our caregivers. We so appreciate the support of our community.

Milestones are worth celebrating, even when the journey is still underway. This weekend we administered our 100,000th dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. It's a feat accomplished through collaboration, determination and a sense of purpose inherent in a mission-driven organization like ours. We know there are many more vaccinations to give in the weeks and months ahead, and we look forward to continuing this life-saving work in our communities. Thank you to each of our incredible caregivers for their dedication, and thank you to our neighbors and fellow community members for entrusting us with this important work.
Providing vaccinations to people across our communities is truly a team effort. From our incredible Centura Health caregivers to our many dedicated partner organizations to volunteer citizens simply wanting to lend a hand in this historic undertaking, we'd like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to everyone playing a part in the vaccination clinics happening here and around the world. We cherish our role - indeed our mission - of caring for those who are ill and nurturing the health of the people in our communities.

Did you know cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 cause of death worldwide, with more people dying each year from heart attacks and strokes than any other cause? Cardiac and vascular diseases can strike anyone -- men and women of all ages, races, and economic classes. Fortunately, there are steps we can all take to identify and reduce our risk. A calcium score heart scan helps identify calcified plaque levels in your heart arteries. If your score is elevated, you can make appropriate lifestyle and medication changes. These changes may reduce your chance of suffering a heart attack or stroke, possibly averting a life-threatening event. Because we know how important heart health is, we offer calcium score heart scans for $99. There is no preparation required, and no referral is needed. For more information and to schedule a calcium score heart scan at one of our facilities near you, visit www.centura.org/care-and-health/coronary-artery-calcium-screening. #HeartMonth
We're humbled and honored to be a major contributor to the new Charles J. Blackwood, MD, Endowed Memorial Scholarship to support Black and other underrepresented medical students at CU Medicine. Dr. Blackwood, a native Coloradan who in 1947 became the first African American to graduate from CU's School of Medicine, was a pioneer in every sense of the word. "Dr. Blackwood serves as an inspiration to Black physicians throughout Colorado, and an endowment in his name to benefit scholarships for Black medical students is incredibly appropriate and long overdue." says Dr. Oswaldo Grenardo, Centura's Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer and a family medicine physician. "Honoring Dr. Blackwood’s legacy and supporting this important mechanism to increase the number of Black physicians was a perfect fit for Centura and our continuing work on Social Justice initiatives."

One year ago today, the first confirmed COVID-19 patient in the state of Colorado was treated at Centura-St. Anthony Summit Medical Center in Frisco. As we reflect on the past year, we remember how our caregivers here and across our entire health system stepped up in the face of immense challenges to do what they do best - care for our patients and our communities. They extend compassion, hope and healing with every interaction, and they meet each day with courage, perseverance and kindness. While our COVID-19 response continues, we want to take a moment on this one-year anniversary to thank our caregivers for all they have done, and continue to do, for our healing ministry.
Our Vision is every community, every neighborhood, every life - whole and healthy. Working toward realizing that vision is a big reason we get so much joy from providing COVID-19 vaccinations to members of our community. As our efforts to vaccinate educators and others who meet the state of Colorado's phased prioritization continues, please keep an eye on your MyCenturaHealth patient portal for a vaccination appointment invitation.

Dr. Leslie Armstrong, an Emergency Physician at Longmont United Hospital, recently had the opportunity to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to two generations of her family. Dr. Armstrong vaccinated her grandfather, 89, and her mother and father, both 65, during one of her recent shifts at the Centura Health – Emergency & Urgent Care Frederick vaccine clinic. “Pretty cool to see it come around. I still tear up seeing all the elderly walk and hobble into IP to get their shots," Dr. Armstrong says about the clinics providing the life-saving vaccine to eligible residents across our communities.

Yes, the snow is still coming to much of Colorado's Front Range and mountains. Yes, your health and safety are still our top priorities. As this morning's cold drizzle begins to turn to snow, please exercise caution and only travel outside your home if necessary.

It takes an incredible amount of time, effort and collaboration with partners to run mass COVID-19 vaccination clinics like the ones we're setting up at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the Colorado State Fair and the Broadmoor World Arena. These drive-up community clinics are part of Governor Jared Polis' Vaccines for All plan, and they are providing life-saving vaccinations to thousands of Coloradans each day the clinics operate. We're humbled and proud to be part of this effort. If you're eligible for the vaccine based on the state's current phased prioritization, go to www.centura.org/vaccine to sign up for an available slot at one of these upcoming clinics. 📷: Thanks to our team that spent their Sunday getting the Dick's Sporting Goods Park vaccine clinic ready to go for tomorrow! #VaccinesForAll
Nothing brings us greater joy than sending you home from the hospital to complete your recovery. But it's important to be prepared for your return home. • Make certain you know what medications and/or treatments you will need once home. • Ask what you should watch for that would require a call to your caregiver and which caregiver to call if questions come up. • Also ask when you should schedule follow up appointments. #PatientSafetyAwarenssWeek #thumbsup2021 #psaw2021
Our caregivers know to wash their hands before working with patients, but that shouldn't stop you from reminding them. You are part of your health care team! Make sure your caregivers scrub their hands before working with you - even if they're wearing gloves. #thumbsup2021 #psaw2021 #PatientSafetyAwarenessWeek
Let's get back to the things we love, together. We're a proud partner of Governor Jared Polis and the state of Colorado's Vaccines for All plan, bringing drive-up vaccination clinics to our communities. Sign up for a spot at an upcoming clinic by visiting www.centura.org/vaccine and clicking on "Vaccine Event Scheduling."
As Patient Safety Awareness Week continues, so too does this familiar message: Scrub your hands! Wash your hands when entering and leaving the hospital, your patient room, the bathroom and any treatment rooms, and be sure to wash your hands if you handle any solid material. Good hand hygiene is one of the easiest and most effective ways to keep yourself healthy. #thumbsup2021 #psaw2021
Here's another tip in celebration of Patient Safety Awareness Week: Know your medications. Ask for the names of the medications you are receiving in the hospital and how they are expected to help. Caregivers should always check your identification band before giving a medication to make certain the correct medication is being given to the correct person. If you don’t see this, ask your caregivers to double check that the medication is meant for you. #thumbsup2021 #psaw2021
