A Clever One-Pot Salmon Dinner to Make Again and Again
Making full use of her background in food science, Yasmin Fahr crunches the numbers and nails the taste, as you can see for yourself in her ingenious one-pot miso-turmeric salmon with coconut rice. She builds the dish from the bottom of the pot up, starting by cooking the coconut rice, and next layering on spinach leaves, which act as a steamer basket to gently cook the fish. Finally, just before serving, a squeeze of lime brightens the whole thing. Once you've mastered the recipe's structure you can retool it however you want, swapping in chard, kale or lettuce for the spinach and other fish or tofu for the salmon. It's a marvel of engineering, one you can enjoy for dinner this very night.

Children's Hospital Colorado launches first-of-its-kind program for female athletes
A new program in Colorado is helping young female athletes stay at the top of their game. Athletes are known for pushing themselves to perform at their best. But for young girls, the physical demands of competition can take a toll, especially during critical years of growth and development. Recognizing the need for specialized care, doctors at Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora have launched the Female Athlete Program. It is a first-of-its-kind clinic in the state designed specifically for adolescent and young adult female athletes. Neveah Zamora, a distance runner, was among the program's first patients. She competed in cross country at Thornton's Pinnacle Charter School. "Cross country kind of gave me that meaning outside of academics, outside of good grades," Zamora said. "It gave me something that was mine." But her passion for running came to a halt when she tore her hip flexor during her freshman year. "I ran myself into injury," she said. That injury led to a deeper conversation with her doctor at Children's Hospital, where Zamora revealed she was struggling with her eating habits. "I'm not eating, I throw up my breakfast in the morning, I skip lunch at school. I eat half of my dinner when I get home," she said. Dr. Aubrey Armento, a sports medicine physician, explained Zamora's experience is not uncommon. "I would see a lot of athletes coming in, primarily for injuries and often referring them to see the sports dietician," Armento said. The pattern of under-fueling and overtraining prompted Armento to help launch the Female Athlete Program at Children's Hospital, which takes a collaborative and comprehensive approach to care. The clinic addresses not only physical injuries but also underlying issues such as nutrition, hormonal imbalances, and mental health. "It's a very collaborative approach," Armento said. "If an athlete is not adequately fueling and is not having a regular period, that puts their bone health at risk." That holistic model caught the attention of Dr. Lauryn Roth, an adolescent gynecologist. "I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I want to be part of that.' I, too, am a prior female athlete," Roth said. Roth joined the program to provide gynecological care, a component often missing in sports medicine. She educates young athletes on how menstrual health impacts performance and long-term well-being. "These periods are actually an indicator of how the body is doing and whether things are in balance or not," Roth said. "Estrogen is really important for a variety of functions in our body, including neuro-cognitive function, cardiovascular health, and also bone strength." Without proper hormonal balance, Roth said, athletes may struggle to perform, miss out on playing time, and become more susceptible to injuries. "I really look at this as a chance to make some positive changes, both for now, their current athletic performance, but also that future self that wants to live a long and healthy life," she said. For Zamora, the program made all the difference. "I was able to see PR after PR, and I was like the best running, and I think that's when it finally clicked for me," she said. "I think she's a good example of not just treating the injury but treating the whole athlete and making sure we're investigating other things outside of just the orthopedic injury itself," Armento said of Zamora. Now entering college, Zamora is no longer running competitively, but she hopes her story encourages other female athletes to prioritize their health. "There is no amount of suffering that is ever not justified," she said. "You deserve the freedom from your thoughts, and you deserve to let somebody listen to you." Since launching about eight months ago, the Female Athlete Program has supported hundreds of young athletes. It is available not only at the hospital's Aurora location but also at other Children's Hospital facilities along the Front Range.

Autopsy determines cause of death of 31-year-old woman found in parking lot
PORT ST. LUCIE − The death of a 31-year-old woman found in her car in a restaurant parking lot in July was determined to be natural, a Port St. Lucie Police spokesperson said Aug. 8. Kellie Decker, of Port St. Lucie, was found about 11:30 p.m. July 10 in her four-door Honda in the parking lot of a McDonald's restaurant in the 3100 block of Southwest Port St. Lucie Boulevard. She was in the front passenger seat. Sgt. Dominick Mesiti, police spokesperson, on July 11 said there were no signs of trauma to the body and no signs of foul play. Mesiti said Aug. 8 that an autopsy determined haemophilus parainfluenza sepsis with meningitis and pneumonia was the cause of death, and the manner of death was natural. According to Cleveland Clinic, parainfluenza refers to a group of viruses that can cause common respiratory infections, including illnesses such as bronchitis, bronchiolitis, colds, croup and pneumonia. Parainfluenza is a different illness than influenza. Meningitis is an infection and swelling of the membranes and fluid around the brain and spinal cord, according to the Mayo Clinic. The inflammation typically causes symptoms including fever, headache and a stiff neck. Viral infections are the most common meningitis cause in the United States. Pneumonia is an infection that inflames air sacs in the lungs, and the sacs may fill with pus or fluid, causing coughs, difficulty breathing, fever and chills, according to the Mayo Clinic. Investigators about 6 p.m. July 10 went to a home in Port St. Lucie regarding a report that Decker had not returned from work and was missing. Alleged animal abuse arrest: Man jailed in animal cruelty case after dog reportedly was 'only comprehending Spanish' Rebuilding after large fire: Work in progress at burned business to get back on track They learned she was a DoorDash driver and last was seen about 11:30 a.m. leaving to go to work. Mesiti said Decker's DoorDash order was at the McDonald's, and it was canceled. Investigators determined she arrived there shortly after 11:30 a.m. No one was seen approaching or leaving her vehicle other than her, he said. Will Greenlee is a breaking news reporter for TCPalm.

Another Cleveland Clinic labor and delivery unit at risk due to $7.7M loss
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Residents here will get the chance next week to help decide how important local labor and delivery services are to them. The Indian River Hospital District is holding town halls Aug. 12, 13 and 14 to hear whether taxpayers want their taxes spent to shore up a loss at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital's obstetrics and gynecology practice. The practice is facing a $7.7 million annual loss. And the Indian River County Hospital District, which provides funding for healthcare programs and services, is weighing whether to help sustain the practice with $3.5 million. The district already provides $4.2 million for prenatal and post-partum care through Indian River Hospital Partners in Women's Health. "I'd like to preserve services in our community, not just for the next few years, but I'd like to preserve services in our community for the foreseeable future," said Frank Isele, executive director of the Indian River County Hospital District. "The whole district wants to do that, so women and children have these services." Problems delivering on delivery Cleveland Clinic is maintaining its labor and delivery unit for now, but the losses beg the question whether it will shut down those services soon — even if it gets the $3.5 million. The nonprofit hospital closed its labor and delivery unit in April in Martin County, forcing women to travel to Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital or another hospital in St. Lucie or Palm Beach counties. Staffing shortages were the problem, Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Rishi Singh said. Singh is the vice president and chief medical officer for Martin North and South hospitals. "We've not requested additional funds for inpatient maternity services but have engaged in a collaborative conversation with a very supportive Indian River Hospital District on how we can partner to create sustainable services for our growing community," said Dr. Richard Rothman, vice president and chief medical officer of Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital. But "maternity services across the country are closing for several reasons," Rothman added. Staffing shortages are one, he said. Other reasons include fewer births, which make it difficult to cover the fixed costs of a labor and delivery unit; and Medicaid reimbursement rates, which are lower than what private insurance pays for births. Rothman not alone "There's a national issue in regard to maternity services especially within rural hospitals," said Megan McFall, CEO of Indian River County Healthy Start Coalition, which aims to provide care for moms, babies and families from conception through a child's first years. Indian River Hospital is a rural hospital, McFall said. Staffing shortages and reimbursement rates were also cited by McFall as reasons for the nationwide maternity care issues. The number of births at Indian River Hospital has declined from about 1,000 a year in 2021 to 700 or 800 in 2024, McFall said. "Reimbursement rates, along with not having as many deliveries as they're used to, they're looking at a huge loss," McFall said of Cleveland Clinic. Labor and delivery is important Losing Cleveland Clinic's labor and delivery unit at Indian River Hospital would be detrimental to the health of babies and the community at large, McFall said. Babies born to moms who delivered and are receiving care in Indian River County are healthier than babies delivered and cared for outside of the county, according to Indian River County Health Start Coalition. That's backed up by data showing Indian River County has an 80% lower neonatal mortality rate than Florida as a whole, McFall said. Neonatal mortality refers to the death of a baby in its first 28 days. Without a labor and delivery unit, the county will also fail to attract young professionals who will be looking for a place that cares for women and children, McFall said. The community, she said, will be made up of middle-aged and retired professionals. "It's going to be a dying community," McFall said. If the county has no labor and delivery unit, moms who already struggle getting to a hospital will be calling 911 to get there, she added. That's going to strain the county's emergency response resources, she said.
