Several BYU students won’t be returning home for the holidays this year. For some, it’s their first time spending Christmas away from their families, and for others who haven’t been home in a few years, this year won’t be much different.
BYU student David Jones from Texas isn’t going home for Christmas. For the past two Christmases he was serving his mission, and the Christmas before his mission he was attending Texas A&M, making it easier for him to drive home.

Intermountain Healthcare has added a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program in all 23 of its hospitals in Utah and Idaho to monitor patients with COVID-19 who donât meet criteria for hospital admission, but warrant closer outpatient monitoring.
The Intermountain COVID-19 RPM program allows for real-time at home monitoring of COVID-19 patients to ensure care for patients and to reassure patients who are recovering at home that theyâre safe to stay at home and prevent a return trip to the hospital.
On Wednesday, the first COVID-19 vaccinations were administered at Intermountainâs Utah Valley Hospital in Provo.
After the first vaccinations in the state were given Tuesday, Intermountain and other hospitals have began to rollout the vaccine across their systems to vaccinate frontline health workers.
Spencer Priest, a nurse on the COVID-19 floor, and Dr. Miles Hawley were the first two people in Utah County to receive the vaccine on Wednesday.
âIâve had friends send me all kinds of articles, and my parents called me asking about the vaccine,â Priest said. âI trust the leaders at Intermountain enough to feel like this is a safe vaccine. I was more hopeful than nervous today.â
