September is Baby Safety Month! Today, I teamed up with Baby’s Bounty and @UMCSN’s Healthy Living Institute (HLI) to talk safe sleep, home safety, pool safety, and car-seat safety. Plus, our HLI team demonstrated proper car-seat-installation techniques and recommendations.

Thank you @NevadaTaxpayers for awarding Clark County with the Cashman Good Government Award for our Hospital 2 Home (H2H) program. H2H helps reduce long-term hospital stays by supporting individuals with complex discharge needs, easing transitions back home. A collaboration with @UMCSN ensures patients ready for discharge receive tailored H2H services, creating customized post-discharge plans that promote healing and minimize the risk of re-admission.
H2H serves over 700 individuals, generating an estimated $11.9 million in savings by preventing costly 30-day readmissions.

This morning marked a milestone as Clark County and @UMCSN opened Southern Nevada's first Crisis Stabilization Center!
This facility represents an important first step in addressing community behavioral health needs and will provide 24/7 behavioral health services designed to de-escalate and stabilize individuals experiencing mental health crises, with or without co-occurring substance use disorders.
The center will accept drop-offs from law enforcement and EMS, as well as individuals seeking help voluntarily. Services will be available to adults 18 years and older regardless of insurance status, with treatment lasting from a few hours up to 24 hours for stabilization.

Yesterday, NV Energy presented a check to @UMCSN in Las Vegas during its board meeting representing incentive savings from its two new large-scale energy efficiency projects. Through our energy efficiency programs, UMC was able to complete two projects in 2024.
With these projects, UMC reduced its energy costs and improved operations while helping protect the environment. The overall savings for UMC are equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from 704 gasoline-powered passenger vehicle driven for a year, or 421 homes energy usage for one year!

How do mass shootings affect those who treat the victims? Deborah Kuhls, MD, (@UMCSN), oversaw a surgical team’s response to the Las Vegas concert shooting. In this multimedia story, she and other doctors reflect on emotional impact and recovery. ow.ly/rYBM50TSCQJ

The risk of serious burns from scorching-hot sidewalks and roads is rising. ACS Fellow @syedsaquib, medical director of the burn care center at @UMCSN, treats these patients daily in the summer.

@UNLVTSafety Let’s work together to decrease motorcycle deaths snd life-changing injuries! @UMCSN
In 2022, for every mile traveled, motorcyclists were 22x more likely than passengers in vehicles to face fatal crashes, and 4x more likely to endure injuries. Let's work together to reduce harm as road safety is a shared responsibility. #ZeroFatalities #motorcyclistsafety
