🤢 Is it a stomach bug, food poisoning or something more serious?

Mild nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may improve with rest and fluids. But some digestive symptoms — like signs of dehydration, blood in your stool, vomit, a high fever or severe stomach pain — shouldn’t be ignored.

Understanding the warning signs can help you know when symptoms may be managed at home and when to seek urgent or emergency care.

From NICU to storybook. 💜

Born at just 30 weeks, baby Tennessee underwent life-saving surgery at only 10 days old and spent 95 days in the NICU at Sunrise Children’s Hospital.

For her first birthday, her mom turned Tenny’s journey—and the scar that tells her story—into a children’s book celebrating her strength.

Today, Tenny is a thriving two-year-old with big dreams and a big life ahead.

This , we celebrate our tiniest patients, their families and the care teams behind their incredible journeys.

During NICU Awareness Month, a tiny diaper helps tell a much bigger story about the specialized care available at Sunrise Children’s Hospital.

The diaper pictured on the left is a nano-preemie diaper compared to a standard newborn diaper. For some of the smallest babies in our care, even a diaper this size can be too big.

Our 72-bed Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) cares for approximately 1,000 babies each year. The smallest baby cared for in our NICU weighed just 290 grams — about 10.2 ounces, or less than a can of soda.

Behind these tiny diapers is a team experienced in caring for babies who need a higher level of support. This NICU Awareness Month, we recognize the dedicated care teams who are there for babies and their families when specialized neonatal care is needed.

🤰 Did you know low-dose aspirin may help lower the risk of preeclampsia for some pregnant women?

In this video, Dr. Seth J. Herbst, an OB-GYN with HCA Healthcare, explains what preeclampsia is, who may benefit from low-dose aspirin and why talking with your doctor about your personal risk is an important part of prenatal care.

According to March of Dimes, preeclampsia affects 1 in 25 pregnancies, and many people may not know they’re at risk. Every pregnancy is different, so talk with your doctor about your risk and whether low-dose aspirin may be appropriate for you.

Through our partnership with March of Dimes, our broader HCA Healthcare network is helping raise awareness about preeclampsia, the importance of risk screening and conversations that can support healthier pregnancies.

Welcome Alexis Mussi, new chief executive officer at MountainView Hospital!

Alexis began her healthcare career at Sunrise Children’s Hospital in 2008 as Director of Physician and Provider Relations, later advancing through leadership roles that fueled her passion for operations and strategy.

Alexis transformed Southern Hills during her tenure, growing the hospital from 134 to 331 beds and leading milestone projects such as the state’s first freestanding emergency room, ER at the Lakes, and the Division’s first psychiatric facility, the Pavilion.

Beyond these achievements, Alexis is known as a culture champion, bringing teams together to advance our mission -- the care and improvement of human life.

Congratulations Alexis and welcome back to MountainView!
