Healing is not always as simple as time and stitches. For some patients, recovery requires advanced therapies designed to help the body heal in ways traditional treatments cannot. 💙🩹

During Hyperbaric Awareness Month, we’re recognizing the impact of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy offered through Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine at Putnam Hospital. By delivering concentrated oxygen in a specialized pressurized environment, HBO2 therapy can help support healing for certain chronic, complex and non-healing wounds.

What may sound futuristic is already helping patients in our community every day, offering hope, healing and another path forward when recovery feels difficult. 🏥✨

To learn more about hyperbaric oxygen therapy, call 845-278-5683. 📞

Training and preparedness play an important role in helping healthcare teams and first responders respond quickly and effectively during emergencies.

On Wednesday, May 20, Putnam Hospital will partner with local emergency agencies for a coordinated active shooter preparedness drill on campus. Community members may notice emergency vehicles and personnel throughout the day as teams participate in the exercise.

We appreciate the collaboration of all participating agencies and thank our community for their understanding as we continue prioritizing safety, readiness and emergency response planning!

A hospital is one of the few places where hundreds of people with completely different roles come together each day with the same purpose: caring for others. 💙

At Putnam Hospital, it takes far more than what patients see during an appointment or hospital stay. It takes teamwork happening behind every hallway, desk, phone call, shift change and patient interaction to keep care moving forward.

During Hospital Week, we celebrated the people who make that possible every single day. Thank you to every team member for the compassion, energy, resilience and heart you bring to our patients, visitors and community. You are celebrated not only this week, but every week. 🏥✨

Neurosurgeon Dr. David Penn answers an important question in just 60 seconds: What is a glioma? 🧠

Gliomas are a type of tumor that begin in the brain’s supportive glial cells. Symptoms can vary depending on the tumor’s size and location, but may include persistent headaches, seizures, vision changes, memory issues or difficulty with balance and speech.

Early evaluation and treatment can make a meaningful difference.

This Brain Tumor Awareness Month, take a moment to learn the signs, understand the importance of neurological care and help spread awareness. 💙

Peace of mind matters when it comes to your care. 💙

At Putnam Hospital, that peace of mind comes from knowing safety is built into every step of your experience.

The hospital has earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, marking its fourth consecutive “A” and reinforcing a strong commitment to protecting patients.

For patients, this means more than recognition.
It means fewer risks and more safeguards in place.
It means teams focused on preventing errors, infections and complications before they happen.
It means care you can trust, whether it is a routine visit or something more serious.

“This is a nationally recognized score indicating the efforts a hospital puts forth to keep patients safe each and every day,” says hospital President Dr. Mark Hirko.

Four consecutive “A” grades reflect a team that shows up with the same focus every day.

We are so grateful for the people who make this possible every day and for the trust our community places in us! 🏥

No two days look the same in the Emergency Department, and Samantha’s shift shows exactly why.

This National Nurses Week, follow Samantha Hartshorn, RN at Putnam Hospital through a real in the Emergency Department. From helicopter arrivals to critical moments like heart attacks, to navigating systems going down and back up again, this is the reality of nursing: unpredictable, fast-paced and deeply human. 🚁

In her words, “Some days in the Putnam Emergency Department feel like everything falls into place, and some days test you in every way possible. But through it all, I wouldn’t change what I do. Being there alongside my coworkers and colleagues for my patients, in their hardest moments, is what makes it all worth it.”

Nursing is resilience, compassion and showing up no matter what.

Happy National Nurses Week to all who care deeply and make a difference every single day. 💙💪

A day in the life, through a whole-body health lens ✨

To kickoff Women's Health Month, we partnered with Togetherish Mom to share what caring for your whole self can look like in real, everyday moments.

For her, it’s simple. Mental = thoughts. Emotional = feelings. Physical = the body. And in this season, they’re never separate. They’re constantly overlapping and shaping how she shows up each day.

That looks like caring for her body through food and movement, keeping her mind clear by staying organized and protecting her emotional health by staying connected and giving herself space when she needs it.

It’s not about a perfect routine. It’s about small, intentional choices that support whole-body health over time.

We encourage women to prioritize care that supports every part of who they are, in ways that feel realistic and sustainable.

Follow along for a glimpse into her day 🤍

At Putnam Hospital, patient safety starts behind the scenes.

Our Central Sterile team plays a vital role in care — ensuring every instrument used throughout the hospital is thoroughly cleaned, sterilized and safe for use. Their precision, expertise and attention to detail help protect patients from infection and support every surgical team they serve.

We are deeply grateful for their commitment and the critical role they play in delivering safe, high-quality care every day.

Please help us thank these incredible unsung heroes! 👏🏽

Spring wellness tips are everywhere right now… but which ones actually work? 🌸🤧

We asked Dr. Guttmann to weigh in on some of the most talked-about “hacks” this season and break down what’s true, what’s helpful and what might not make as much of a difference as you think.

If you’re trying to feel your best this spring, this is a great place to start. Small, simple habits can go a long way when they’re backed by the right guidance.
