I was thrilled to be invited recently to a blogger get together at the University of Utah's Healthcare facility in Daybreak. I don't mind telling you, that when they asked me to write a simple blog post to inform people about their health care education and services, I was suddenly tongue tied and struggled with where to begin.
How do I do justice to the company that helped to save my daughter's life? (read more about that here).During my tour, Â I learned so much that it became overwhelming finding a starting point. When they brought in the Life Flight and crew just for us, it sent me reeling back in time to my own experience and I was surprised, at how many of the bloggers there, had had their own Life Flight experience too.

Getting to know these extraordinary people was a real treat. They truly are family to one another. They took the time to show us the tiny flying hospital they work in while desperately trying to save lives. We got to see cool things like night vision goggles how every nook in the helicopter is packed with equipment. It was a unique and very interesting experience.
Flu Shots, Cancer Screenings, Eye Exams, Ear Infections, Emergency Care, Food Allergies, Diabetes…. STRESS….! Lets face it, during the coarse of our lives these issues will effect all of us, either directly or with someone we know and care for. You'll find a mountain of information, interesting health related articles about every subject. Each of the articles also has an audio option making it easy to listen or read.
They also hold special classes and workshops. These are open to the public and most are free to the public. Currently you'll find workshops including a ski fitness class, spine education, living with chronic conditions and more.
No matter what your insurance options are, University of Utah Healthcare wants you to know they are serving our community with the support, answers and ideas for living well answers when you need them. Next time you feel yourself getting worried about symptoms, instead of asking “Dr. Google” ask the professionals at Health.Utah.edu
