ENTITY View All Jobs Dr. Prakash Gatta was diagnosed with COVID-19
in March of 2020, the early days of the pandemic. 9 months after
being diagnosed, Dr. Gatta received his COVID-19 vaccine in
December 2020. Today, as a COVID long-hauler, he still experiences
chest pain and exercise intolerance, and it took almost ten months
after being diagnosed to get his baseline heart rate back to
normal. His advice for everyone? Seek help when you need it.
"A lot of people have shied away from health care during the
pandemic. It's important that if you're having issues to talk to
you provider. I've always been really healthy and rarely saw
doctors until this year. People need to be able to feel vulnerable
and seek help if they need it." Washington State has expanded
COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to two new phases -- phase 1B, tier 3
and tier 4, as of March 31. Swipe through to learn who is eligibile

are seeing trends of colon cancers striking people in their early
adult lives, especially those with a family history.
"No one knows the exact reason why colon cancer rates are rising,"
says Laila Rashidi, MD.
Some other factors that raise the risk of colorectal cancer in
older adults may apply - such as obesity, unhealthy diet that
includes processed meats, physical inactivity, smoking and alcohol
consumption.
"We're seeing patients in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Most medical
oncologists have patients in these age groups," says oncologist

Early detection and screening is key to improving outcomes for
young patients. If you're under 50, don't ignore your symptoms.

This week, Bill Robertson shared his thoughts with MultiCare
employees regarding the recent violence against Asian Americans. In
February of 2020, Lynn Tanuvasa, 42, received the news she was
hoping not to hear: the colonoscopy she'd just had showed that she
had colon cancer. Then, just a few days later, Tanuvasa received
even more life-changing news: she was pregnant.
"When she [Lynn's mother] was first having symptoms, my mom didn't
know what it was. Then when she found out, it was too late to cure.
So I knew that, even though I was young, I needed to get checked
not just for myself, but for my family and especially for my kids."

With three vaccines now approved for use in the United States,
rumors about the relative effectiveness of the three vaccines may
be causing some people to try to wait for the "right one."
Short answer: The right vaccine is the first one you can get. All
three vaccines are highly effective at protecting against COVID-19
and preventing hospitalizations and deaths. Learn more about the
differences and why medical experts recommend all three.
MultiCare is providing vaccines to those eligible in Phase 1A and
Phase 1B Tier 1 by appointment only at this time. If you are

Scientists and pharmaceutical companies have been in a race to
develop an effective vaccine against COVID-19. Emergency approval
was granted for both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and each are
shipping to all 50 states in some capacity.
These vaccines have been developed on a much faster timetable than
most vaccines, which has led to some people wondering about their
safety.

Michael Myint, MD, talk more about the COVID-19 vaccines, their

Friday, our first group of frontline workers received the Pfizer
COVID-19 vaccine - a group including physicians, nurses,
pharmacists and members of our environmental services team, as well
as some of our community's first responders.
"The vaccine means I don't have to worry every day that I'm
bringing the virus home to my kids and my husband." Today,
MultiCare received its first shipments of the Pfizer vaccine. There
were around 4,000 doses delivered to three of our campuses.
"MultiCare's pharmacy teams are part of history today as they take
in our first shipments of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and implement
new protocols to ensure proper storage for the vaccine at ultra-low
temperatures," said Tim Lynch, Chief Pharmacy Officer The COVID-19
pandemic is far from over, but at long last there's a light at the
end of the tunnel. The FDA issued Emergency Use Authorization to
Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine and doses are now shipping to all 50
states. We don't know yet how many vaccines we'll get here in
Washington, or when it will be widely available to members of the
public. The first groups to get the vaccine will include health
care workers in high-risk settings, high-risk first responders, and
residents and staff of nursing homes and assisted living
facilities. Other groups will be added as we receive more
vaccines.
We know you have questions. We are committed to keeping you
informed as we learn more and as the vaccines become more widely
available. Visit our COVID-19 resource center for more details and

Even following those recommendations isn't a guarantee, and people

parents for my future! My mom and grandma were both nurses, so you
could say it was in the genes." Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome
in Children, or MIS-C, is a new pediatric disease caused by an

in more severe cases, aggressive treatment is required because the
disease can quickly progress.

weren't afraid, but they took off the fear, put it down maybe, and
then walked in and said, let's get this done."

requirement to, say, get into a store, and a mask that provides the
