Last month, Dignity Health Sports Medicine hosted our 11th Annual Field to ER (F2ER) event, bringing together athletic trainers, athletic training students, physicians, EMS and community partners for hands-on emergency preparedness training.

From Emergency Action Plans and medical time outs to exertional heat stroke, rapid cooling, equipment removal and cervical spine management, participants practiced the skills that matter when every second counts.

F2ER gives members of the sports medicine and emergency response teams the opportunity to train together before having to respond together. This strengthens communication, helps us to understand each other’s roles and ultimately provide safer care for our student-athletes.

A huge thank you to Gilbert Fire and Rescue, the Gilbert Public Safety Training Facility, our presenters and community partners for helping make another year of F2ER possible!

Is your DNA trying to tell you something? Let’s decode it together. 🧬

We know at-home DNA kits are tempting, but they often leave you with more questions than answers. Don't play detective with your own health—let’s have a real conversation about what those results actually mean for your future. Whether you’re curious about your risks or just want to make informed choices, our genetic counseling team is here to help you move from 'what does this mean?' to 'now I have a plan.'

Why choose a clinical setting like Dignity Health Cancer Institute? ✅ Higher accuracy than unregulated kits. ✅ Expert interpretation tailored to your family history. ✅ A support system if the news is difficult to process.

Your health is too complex for a one-size-fits-all mail-in kit. If you’ve taken an at-home test and have questions, don’t play the guessing game. Schedule a follow-up with a professional at Dignity Health in Arizona. We’re here to help you get the answers you deserve.
