Flu season is here and our CEO and President, Tim Thornell, wants to remind you that it is more important than ever to get your flu shot this year. Mr. Thornell has already received his!
Flu shots can prevent you from getting sick and help protect those who are unable to get a flu shot due to health conditions. It is possible to have COVID-19 and the flu at the same time. Both are contagious respiratory illnesses and can lead to hospitalization or death. We encourage you to get a flu shot to protect yourself and others. Help us take influenza out of the equation.

Covid-19 Vaccination Information - Cheyenne Regional Medical Center
We caught up with Dr. Jessica Hughes after she received her COVID-19 vaccine this morning and asked her two questions: “How are you feeling after receiving the vaccine?” and “When the vaccine becomes available to everyone, what do you say to those who might be nervous about receiving it?” Check out her response in the video!
What an amazing day at Cheyenne Regional in the fight against COVID-19! We administered the first vaccines to five employees who work closely with COVID-19 patients. The initial shipment of the vaccine has been limited, but we are able to administer vaccines to those employees who have been identified in this first distribution. We will continue to vaccinate additional employees starting tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. Special thank you to our first five recipients: Lan W., RN, Hayley W., RN, Judy J., Respiratory Therapist, Dr. Choo, Infectious Disease and Dr. Tetenta, Pulmonary Disease and Critical Care. Thank you for leading the way!
Thank you to Shelbie Sherard from Wyoming Population Health for leading the Training for Intervention ProcedureS (TIPS) at @pinebluffsdistilling. Remember to please drink responsibly during the season of celebration!

Being kind to someone doesn’t take much at all—just seconds, in some cases—but those few seconds have the power to completely change someone’s entire outlook. Even better? Those small acts of kindness—or “sparks”—are changing our
community for good.
It is still possible to be kind even in the virtual and social-distancing world we are currently living in and kindness is more important now than ever!

We asked Mike Y., age 72, a few questions about his experience with our Cardiac Rehab Department. Mike had a heart attack on September 11, 2015, along with 4-way bypass surgery.
What is your diagnosis and how did you feel when you were first diagnosed?
Mike: I was completely surprised and stunned by the news when I was first diagnosed.
How long have you been in Cardiac Rehab?
Mike: 5 years
What do you appreciate about the program?
Mike: The professional staff, the friendly and fun experience and the ability to build up from each phase.
Why did you start and why do you continue? Why would you encourage others to participate after a heart event?
Mike: It was a strong recommendation from my surgeon and other medical staff at CRMC. I would encourage others to absolutely participate and stay committed to the process – it pays dividends physically AND mentally because of the good social interaction in the classes.

For our final interview from #CardiacRehabWeek, we have Mike C., 69 years old.
What is your diagnosis and how did you feel when you were first diagnosed?
I was diagnosed with the “Widow Maker”(blockage in the left main artery) and a heart attack with 2 stents. My first thought was how fortunate I was to be close to medical care and a cath lab.
How long have you been in Cardiac Rehab?
Almost 2 years
What do you appreciate about the program?
The staff. They are professional, knowledgeable about all things heart-related, diet, and exercise.
Why did you start and why do you continue? Why would you encourage others to participate after a heart event?
I wanted to learn more about life after a heart attack – what I can do and what I shouldn’t. I always encourage others to participate through Mended Hearts, as I became a volunteer to visit heart patients through Mended Hearts.
For today’s #NutritionTip, we have registered dietitian, Anna Hambright, explaining how to have a balanced meal!

“Becky is the most attentive, watchful, compassionate and detail-oriented RN. She is always attending to her patients and talking or walking with them. She always has her eyes on the monitors and leaves nothing undone. She jumps right in to help with any situation and is perceptive and is always available to run for supplies. Becky once had a patient who had been here many, many days for a non-COVID illness. He was so tired of being in his room and was restless, so Becky got a wheelchair and took him to the solarium. The patient loved it. I’m grateful to work with her. Becky is the best!”

“All of your staff were wonderful, but I have to single out Melissa because she not only provided a majority of the care my husband received, but she showed great concern for my health and well-being and that of my son. Melissa went to great lengths to see that we had additional help in the home so that we could have time for appointments or just take a breath of fresh air. There just aren’t any words to thank her for the kindness and support she provided to us and it kept me going through the most difficult period of my life.”

“Morgan demonstrated her compassion by sitting down in the patient’s room to listen to this stepmom who was losing her daughter every day. She explained each med, what to expect and assessed the patient and results frequently. Morgan’s compassion and love for nursing is evident and her smile is radiant. She would talk to the patient and stroke her head, which brought tears to my eyes. She was a bright spot for me. Thank you, Morgan!”

Thank you, Tami, for going above and beyond to care for our families.”

This is how your local surgeon makes it to the hospital in an emergency when the 4-wheel drive trucks are stuck and fire trucks and plows cannot get to you!! Twenty-four minutes & the message came that they made it there safely. Thankful for willing friends who step up in times of desperation. Stay safe out there, Cheyenne! #Snowmageddon2021

Thanks to Cheyenne Regional Foundation Executive Director Scott Fox and Biomedical Manager Perry Phillips for nominating Barb and Lucas for this award. It was a blessing to be able to watch as the two Cheyenne residents were thanked and commended for how much they helped not only our health system but our entire community.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Thanks to Amber Thomas for helping get Julie, one of our radiology techs, to work via snowmobile. Amber was one of nearly two dozen community members who reached out to us to offer their help transporting our staff to and from work on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. And many of our own employees also helped transport essential workers, including our staff/providers and utility workers, over the past few days. It's said that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. No one is tougher, or kinder or more helpful, than our Cheyenne and Laramie County community. Thanks, again, to you all!
The snow is melting, but the efforts of local heroes after last week’s storm are still fresh in our minds. We wanted to take a moment to thank Kalab Ziller for giving some of our #healthcareheroes a ride to work in the Emergency Department last week when traveling by car was impossible!
