During this blizzard, our Bridgeport Hospital teams have once again shown what dedication truly looks like. A heartfelt thank you to every staff member who slept at the hospital or braved hazardous roads to ensure our patients continued to receive exceptional care. Your commitment means everything to us and to the community we serve.

A special shout‑out to our senior leaders who stepped in wherever needed - covering shifts, serving breakfast in the cafeteria and delivering snacks across both the Bridgeport and Milford campuses. Your leadership shines brightest in moments like these.

In support of American Heart Month, Jeremy Asnes, MD, medical director of Yale New Haven Children's Heart Center, and chief of Pediatric Cardiology at Yale School of Medicine, talked with NBC Connecticut about children's heart care. Dr. Asnes discussed our newest pediatric catheterization laboratory which offers state-of-the-art catheterization care for pediatric patients. The procedure is minimally invasive and inserts thin flexible tubes into the blood vessels to evaluate a heart condition as well as treat certain heart conditions so that surgery can be avoided.

In recognition of American Heart Month, Bridgeport Hospital was proud to partner with the Milford Health Department to bring heart health education directly into the community.

On February 10 at the Milford Senior Center, Saeeda Qadri, MD, and Melissa Hanson, APRN, led a discussion on Heart Healthy Aging with local residents.

The following day, at the Milford Public Library, our teams provided free blood pressure screenings with heart health education from Heart and Vascular Center Cardiac Rehabilitation Specialist Joe Petreycik, stroke education from Stroke Program Coordinator Andressa Goncalves and Nurse Navigator Marianne Scofield, and practical heart-healthy nutrition guidance from registered dietitians Vanessa Mazzella and Gaby Canches.
