Ogden Regional Medical Center

SOUTH OGDEN — When Bridgette Berkeley goes to work as an intensive care unit nurse at Ogden Regional Medical Center, she feels fortunate.

A July nursing graduate from Stevens-Henager College, Berkeley said she’s bucking the trend to already have the job she wants such a short time after graduation.

Gertrud "Heidi" Hoaglin died after a long battle with cancer Sunday, March 25, 2012, at Ogden Regional Medical Center. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 7, at the Ascension Lutheran Church, 1105 N. Washington Blvd, in Ogden. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.

OGDEN -- It begins with a frantic call for help from a police officer identified as Whiskey Seven.

His voice is tinged with urgency and desperation at the start of dispatch tapes from a Jan. 4 shooting that killed Ogden Officer Jared Francom and wounded five other officers.

"We've got shots fired," Whiskey Seven shouts into his police radio. "We've got officers hit. I need medical. I need additional units."

OGDEN -- When Carolyn Becker heard there was a therapy dog at Ogden Regional Medical Center, she immediately said she would like to see him.

The golden retriever named Bert walked into her room, jumped on the bed, curled up and went to sleep while Becker rubbed his ears.

"(The other night) I was dreaming that my cats were in bed with me," Becker said, "so seeing Bert was really a pick-me-up. He's beautiful and has a delightfully smooth and touchable coat."

Joanne Bryant Myles died Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations be made at any Wells Fargo Bank under Joanne Myles name. Post condolences at www.myers-mortuary.com. To read the full obituary, see the Standard-Examiner's e-edition.

SOUTH OGDEN -- "So often in our lives, we limit the capacity of our Father in Heaven."

Sister Stephanie Mongeon made this statement last week during a talk designed to help people remove those limits.

Her talk, "Finding Balance and Spirituality in Our Lives," is one she gives quarterly to the members of the Twelve Step Program at Ogden Regional Medical Center.
