UCHealth is seeing a sharp rise in flu cases and hospitalizations. Roughly 200 people are hospitalized with the flu at @uchealth hospitals across Colorado.

Statewide, flu hospitalizations are more than three times higher now compared to this time last year.

Flu can be serious, but vaccination helps prevent severe illness and hospitalization. It's not too late to get your flu shot.

(Note to media: Chart below shows hospitalizations at UCHealth locations only)

Around 40% of women over the age of 40 have dense breast tissue, which can making screening more challenging.

To better detect hidden breast cancer, @uchealth is the first health system in Colorado to add specialized technology offering contrast-enhanced mammography.

The technology helps provide a faster and clearer picture for women with dense breast tissue.

Three years after launching the Ascend Career Program, UCHealth’s first class of nurses has graduated with BSN degrees.

These RNs will step into their new roles this October as hospitals continue to face critical nursing shortages.

Your genes play an important role in how your body metabolizes medication. Do you know what meds your body can and can't tolerate?

The Biobank at the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine, a partnership between @uchealth and @CUAnschutz, is helping Coloradans eliminate the guesswork, by empowering people to learn more about their genetic makeup.

In the face of her own battle with stage IV ovarian cancer, this @uchealth nurse continued to care for patients in high-risk settings. It's something she's done for more than 30 years. This is a great story from our partners at @CUCancerCenter.

Media,

Please see the below interview with Dr. Cameron Gibson, surgeon in the UCHealth Burn and Frostbite Center at University of Colorado Hospital. The interview is available for use on all platforms (digital and broadcast).

Although Dr. Gibson is not able to discuss specific cases due to patient privacy, he can provide general information about the varying degrees and severity of burn injuries, treatments, and recovery.

Currently, UCHealth is caring for 3 patients from Sunday's incident in Boulder.

Allergy season is impacting more and more Coloradans every year—and it's no coincidence. According to a UCHealth allergist, more intense pollen seasons are now the norm due to changing climate. He offers tips to help avoid the sneezing, coughing and congestion that comes with springtime.
