Did you know women are 6% less likely to receive bystander CPR than men? CPR in public is still rare; it occurs in only about 37% of all cardiac events that happen in public locations. But why are women not receiving the same bystander CPR rates as men? By raising awareness and educating everyone, we can collectively increase the chances of women surviving cardiac arrest in public. #WorldPoint #WomenNeedCPRToo #CPR #BystanderCPR #LearnCPR

We applaud the U.S. Surgeon General's Office for issuing a first-of-its-kind advisory declaring firearm violence in America as a public health crisis. As the advisory concludes, it will take the collective commitment of the nation to turn the tide on this crisis. A public health approach has the potential to curb the alarming trends of firearm-related injury and death that we see in Colorado and across the country, which have devastating impacts to our physical and mental health. As we continue to champion a public health approach to firearm harm prevention in Colorado, Trailhead is excited to use our program office as a hub for building collaboration across the state and working alongside communities to enact solutions that work best for them.

👁️ Happy World Glaucoma Week, everyone! 👁️ While we might be a tad fashionably late to the party (typical Thursday vibes, are we right?), the team at Marsden Eye Specialists couldn't let this week slip by without a shoutout to one of the most important causes in eye health. So, here's to raising awareness about glaucoma and its impact on vision! 🎉 Glaucoma might not care if it's a Monday or a Thursday, but we do! That's why we're here to remind you to keep those peepers in check, even on a weekday that's not typically associated with eye health announcements. 😉 Whether you're a visionary, a spectacle-wearer, or just someone who enjoys seeing the world in all its glory, take a moment this Thursday to appreciate the gift of sight and spread the word about glaucoma prevention and early detection. And hey, if you're already rocking that "I care about my eyes" attitude, give yourself a pat on the back. You're doing great, sweetie! 🌟 Here's to clearer visions, brighter futures, and always remembering to check in on our eyes, even on a Thursday! Happy World Glaucoma Week from all of us at Marsden Eye Specialists! 🌍👁️ #WorldGlaucomaWeek #ThursdayThoughts #EyeHealthAwareness #MarsdenEyeSpecialists Glaucoma Australia

Research demonstrates that health care facilities that have deployed K9 units have seen a reduction in crime and violence. Conducting a pilot program is the best and most cost-effective way to experience the benefits of K9 teams. Results of the pilot are quantified by pre- and post-pilot surveys. Here are two data points that led to a pilot becoming a full-time defense against violent attacks on emergency department and behavioral health staff.

We worked with Dr. Punch and his team on a video project on harm reduction and opioid use disorder.

Watch this short video (not by us, but great!) to quickly learn a bit about what they're doing.
