At his farm 12 miles outside of Delta, Dave Walker grows hay on 130 acres of land. It's a physical job that Walker wouldn't trade for anything.
Walker was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, or MDS. He had to travel 200 miles round trip to a hospital in Provo to receive treatments — including blood transfusions and chemotherapy. The toll on his health was enormous.
Intermountain Health's Cece Willoughby — who helps direct Walker's care — understands the physical toll. But in May, all of that changed when Intermountain Health expanded its TeleOncology services to the Delta Community Hospital, and elsewhere in central Utah.No longer does Walker have to drive to Provo for treatments, or to talk with his cancer specialists.
