Intermountain Health has once again earned recognition as one of the nation’s safest health systems for patients, according to the Leapfrog Group, a national healthcare safety and quality measurement organization that recently unveiled its 2025 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades. Of the 20 Intermountain hospitals evaluated by Leapfrog, 14 received an “A” while six Intermountain hospitals earned a “B” rating, underscoring our consistent safety performance across all communities and a commitment to continuous improvement. “These results speak to the dedication of every caregiver and leader at Intermountain, and to our shared commitment to being national leaders in clinical excellence,” said Cara Camiolo, MD, chief quality & safety officer for Intermountain. “Whether a hospital achieved an ‘A’ or made meaningful gains this cycle, each story points to the same aspiration: progress happens when every person, in every role, owns their part in advancing safety, reliability, and better outcomes for our patients.”

From the heartbreak of losing a childhood friend to the front lines of humanitarian missions, Dr. Robert Massa’s path to medicine is one of purpose, resilience, and service. A scholarship from the U.S. Army opened the door to medical school and launched a career that would span refugee crises, military bases, and eventually, a beloved role in community care. This Veterans Day, Dr. Massa urges us to honor the commitment and sacrifices made by veterans and their families and keep present day active-duty military and their families in our thoughts. “Hug a veteran,” he says. “Be grateful. Their sacrifices make our everyday civilian lives possible.”

After a hard swim, Kim, RN and trauma program manager at Layton Hospital, felt jaw pain she dismissed as anxiety. Minutes later, crushing chest pain hit and she vomited in the parking lot. Unsure what to do, she drove herself home, where her husband John rushed her to the ER. Doctors diagnosed a massive STEMI—often called a “widow-maker.” After initial treatment and an EKG, Kim was transferred by Layton Fire Department to McKay-Dee Hospital. There, Dr. Eric Lindley inserted a stent, giving her instant relief. Kim survived a full left-side heart occlusion with no scar tissue, thanks to seamless coordination between ER, EMS, imaging, and cardiac teams. “It was like a well-oiled machine,” she said. One year later, Kim completed an Olympic-distance triathlon. Her next goal: the Ironman in Kona.
