Last week was a highlight for our COVID-19 screening team and the frontline workers here at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center. We were able to begin administering the COVID-19 vaccine to help protect those of our staff who come into contact with the virus daily.
Chronic stress lowers your immune system function which leaves you more susceptible to getting sick. If you’re feeling stressed, take a moment to breathe and do something you enjoy today!
We are excited to announce that we have received the COVID-19 vaccine and have started vaccinating our frontline workers who are directly involved in the care of COVID-19 patients. Kim Murdock, Respiratory Therapist, featured below, is our first employee at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Kim has been a valued member of our team at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center for 39 years. He has treated hundreds of patients, however, the COVID-19 patient is different. He describes the difference below.
"It is hard to see patients each day so sick. I am committed to helping each patient to breathe better in some way as they fight off the virus. This year has been the most challenging, both emotionally and physically draining, to myself and all of the frontline healthcare workers. I am hopeful, to see a vaccine so quickly is miraculous.”

Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, causing one in four deaths each year. But there’s a lot you can do to live a heart-healthy life— and connecting with others can make your efforts even more successful. Due to the ongoing pandemic, gathering with large groups is discouraged, however, there are other ways to encourage those you care for to take care of their heart including:
- Dropping off healthy meals and/or snacks.
- Set fitness goals together and keep each other accountable.
- If you smoke, join an online support group that encourages quitting.
Exercise does more than just improve our physical fitness. It also reduces our risk of getting many diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes.

What's known about cancer prevention is still evolving, however, it's well-accepted that your chances of developing cancer are affected by the lifestyle choices you make.

- Wear appropriate protective gear, including goggles, helmets, gloves, and padding.
- Check that equipment is working properly prior to use.
- Drink plenty of water before, during, and after activities.
- Schedule an appointment with your provider to get a check-up.
