The injury has, in part, shaped how she cares for patients.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/1970\/01\/28144628\/PikesPeakChallenge1.webp\" alt=\"PikesPeakChallenge1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heather Mazzola, a nurse practitioner at UCHealth Memorial Hospital\u2019s Cardiology Department, (left), stands with Dana Wehde, Rick Weaver, Cassie Tannehill, and Boone Creech at the summit of Pikes Peak after completing the Pikes Peak Challenge in 2014.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m empathetic with patients. I really listen to what they tell me and, if it helps them, I\u2019ll share my story with them. I will call to follow up with them more often, perhaps, than other providers. I want to make sure they are doing okay,\u2019\u2019 Mazzola said.<\/p>\n<p>Mazzola knows first-hand what it is like to struggle to regain abilities, and she has teamed up with Kristine Pacheco, a physician assistant in Memorial Hospital\u2019s Neurosciences program, to serve as co-chair and chair, respectively, of a Memorial team hiking in the Pikes Peak Challenge \u2013 an event that is sponsored by UCHealth.<\/p>\n<p>During the Sept. 10 community event, participants will climb 13 miles to the summit of 14,114-foot Pikes Peak or opt to trek to Barr Camp, about 6.5 miles from the trailhead of Barr Trail in Manitou Springs. Many of the hikers who participate have suffered a brain injury.<\/p>\n<p>UCHealth is sponsoring the event, which benefits the Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado Springs, because Memorial plays a crucial role in caring for people who have suffered brain injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see a large number of trauma-related brain injury patients at Memorial, so I think it is important that we are involved,\u2019\u2019 Pacheco said.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Dr. John McVicker, neurosurgeon and director of Neurosciences at UCHealth Memorial Hospital and his colleagues at Colorado Health Medical Group have built a comprehensive Neurosciences program at Memorial.<\/p>\n<p>The Neuro-trauma program includes cutting-edge protocols for the care of brain-injured patients. The team at Memorial includes neurosurgeons, trauma surgeons, surgical critical care physicians, neuro-intensivist physicians and nurses who practice in a community hospital setting.<\/p>\n<p>For years, Pacheco has been helping brain-injured patients and knows the challenges are considerable and the resources are sparse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce their hospital journey is done, there is a whole life ahead of them,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n<p>Pacheco said that she often suggests that patients seek additional resources from the Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado for patients, family members and providers. The non-profit organization offers support groups, education, recreation, art and music therapy, utility assistance, crisis support and opportunities to participate in research.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/1970\/01\/28144627\/PikesPeakChallenge2.webp\" alt=\"PikesPeakChallenge2\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mazzola climbs Pikes Peak with friends to show support for the Pikes Peak Challenge, which benefits people who have had brain injuries.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThose folks go on to achieve so many things but it is a struggle and a fight and they do everything they can to keep themselves healthy,\u2019\u2019 Pacheco said. \u201cThe Brain Injury Alliance has support groups, and people can sit down with other people and hear what works and what doesn\u2019t. They can network with others and find some answers.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Memorial is building a team to participate and those interested in joining Mazzola and Pacheco can register <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pikespeakchallenge.com\/register\/\">here<\/a>. If you cannot participate, consider sponsoring a team member or volunteering the day of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Mazzola, who is in great shape thanks to training for half and full marathons, said it takes her about six hours to hike the Peak. Pacheco has been increasing her walking routine to prepare for the ascent on Sept. 10. This will be her first ascent.<\/p>\n<p>Mazzola said that there are \u201cgreat support staff and medics and EMTs along the way who are checking to make sure everyone is feeling okay. There\u2019s always someone there if you need anything, which is one of the great things about this hike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just a great cause and it\u2019s well-run,\u2019\u2019 Mazzola said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are times when Heather Mazzola, a nurse practitioner at UCHealth Memorial Hospital\u2019s Cardiology Department, will share her personal story if she thinks it will inspire a struggling patient.
