Intermountain Health Team's 6,300-Mile Mission Saves Utah Child in Uruguay

A specialized medical team from Intermountain Health undertook a critical mission to transport a gravely ill 3-year-old girl, Estelle Santiago, from Uruguay to Utah. The child, who was visiting her grandparents in Uruguay, developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a severe condition that led to heart and kidney failure. The Intermountain Health Flight & Ambulance team coordinated a complex international medical flight, covering over 6,300 miles in 18 hours, to bring Estelle to Intermountain Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. The mission involved overcoming logistical challenges, including securing health insurance authorization and landing permits, which were expedited due to the urgency of the situation.

Salt Lake City Matches Record High Minimum Temperature Amid Heat Wave

Salt Lake City Matches Record High Minimum Temperature Amid Heat Wave

Salt Lake City has tied its all-time highest minimum temperature record of 82°F (27.8°C) on Monday night, a record first set in July 2021 and matched again in July 2023. The city experienced an overnight low of 84°F (28.9°C) early Monday, which was on track to break the record before cooling slightly. The National Weather Service attributes the unusually warm overnight conditions to a combination of a heat dome, high daytime temperatures, and cloud cover that trapped heat in the valley. The maximum temperature on Sunday reached 104°F (40°C), just shy of the daily record set in 1960. Urbanization and stronger high-pressure systems are contributing to rising minimum temperatures, a trend observed globally. Utah's average minimum temperature for 2023 is on track to be the highest since records began in 1895.
