Early detection matters! At a recent Utah Royals FC game, we were proud to help spread awareness about the importance of staying up to date on mammograms. Regular screenings and early detection remain some of our strongest tools in the fight against breast cancer.

A special shout out to our incredible Mobile Mammography team, who were recognized at halftime as our Health Heroes! 🩷 Thank you for the work you do to bring important breast cancer screenings closer to the communities we serve.

❤️ Feeling butterflies? It might not be your crush. 👀

A fluttering heart could be a sign of atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib. Palpitations, shortness of breath, unusual fatigue, and dizziness are symptoms you shouldn't ignore.

If you're experiencing these symptoms, talk with your healthcare provider about what you're feeling and the next steps for your care.

Unfortunately, due to inclement weather we are canceling the Orem Family Health Festival Fair for tonight. We very much appreciate your understanding!

At Vineyard City’s ‘9/11 Honoring Past and Present Heroes’ event, awards were presented to veterans, first responders, medical professionals and community heroes who have dedicated their lives to serving others.

Two medical professionals from Orem Community Hospital were recognized and presented plaques by Kym Heslington, our nurse administrator.

Jody Stevenson is our nurse manager in women’s health and has spent nearly four decades at Orem Community Hospital. From charge nurse, to educator, to manager, she has shaped countless nurses, improved patient care, and strengthened processes at the hospital. Known for her remarkable knowledge, calm presence, and unwavering integrity, she guided teams through challenges large and small, including the unprecedented demands of COVID-19. Through every role, Jody championed education, staff development, and excellence in care. Her influence reaches far beyond the unit, touching patients, colleagues, and generations of caregivers. Jody’s legacy is truly extraordinary and she’s lost count of how many babies she’s helped deliver.

Dr. Kari Lawrence is a newer addition to the Orem Community Hospital team. She is an exceptional gynecologist and surgeon, and is deeply respected by patients, caregivers, and colleagues for her clinical expertise, kindness, humility, and an unwavering commitment to teaching and supporting others. Dr. Lawrence consistently goes above and beyond to ensure patients feel informed and valued, and has made a lasting impact on Orem Community Hospital through dedication, collaboration, and selfless service.

As we remembered the lives lost on September 11, 2001, we also recognized those who answered the call to serve then and those who continue to serve today. We’re grateful to Vineyard City, and join with them in thanking our heroes for their courage, sacrifice and commitment to our community.

🧠❤️ We are proud to announce that Orem Community Hospital is officially stroke certified!

When a stroke occurs, every minute matters. A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, and rapid treatment can make a significant difference in a person's recovery and long-term health. With this certification, patients in Orem, Vineyard, and surrounding communities have greater access to specialized stroke care close to home.

"This certification reflects our commitment to delivering the highest level of care to our community," said Kym Heslington, nurse administrator at Orem Community Hospital. "We are grateful for our caregivers whose dedication, teamwork, and focus on excellence made this achievement possible."

Achieving Stroke Certification represents six months of collaboration and preparation across multiple teams throughout the hospital. The designation recognizes that Orem Community Hospital has the systems, staff, protocols and resources, to quickly identify and treat stroke patients according to established standards of care.

More than a recognition, Stroke Certification demonstrates a sustained commitment to quality, safety, and continuous improvement. By meeting rigorous clinical standards, Orem Community Hospital is helping ensure patients receive the right care at the right time, close to the people and communities they love.

Heart care is now even closer to home. We just added echocardiograms to our services at Orem Community Hospital meaning many local patients will not have to travel as far to get one.

An echocardiogram, often just called an "echo," is often needed for patients with heart issues. Painless and non-invasive, it uses soundwaves to create a detailed image of the heart.

We currently see patients on Wednesdays, call 801-357-7272 to schedule.
