Your heart is life’s drummer. When its rhythm slips out of sync (atrial fibrillation, or AFib), the whole song changes — raising the risk of stroke, heart failure and other serious complications. 🥁

By 2030, more than 12 million Americans may be living with this condition.

The good news: treatments are advancing and early detection makes all the difference. If you’ve noticed fatigue, palpitations or shortness of breath, don’t wait — your rhythm is worth protecting.

At Danbury Hospital, our neonatal nurses are more than caregivers — they’re lifelines. They celebrate first breaths, hold space for anxious parents and pour their expertise and compassion into every ounce of care.

This Neonatal Nurses Week, we honor the heroes in scrubs who guide our smallest fighters through their very first milestones. From soothing lullabies at 2 a.m. to high-tech precision in the NICU, their work changes lives — one baby, one family and one moment at a time.

To our neonatal nurses: thank you for giving little lives the strongest start. 🌱👶💙

Welcome back to our weekly series highlighting what’s changing each ’Ber month week — and how to adapt. ✨

With school in full swing, September often brings a rise in classroom germs 🤧. Close contact, shared supplies and busy schedules mean kids (and families) are exposed to more colds and viruses this time of year.

The good news? Small habits make a big difference. From changing into “home clothes” after school to creating a quick handwashing routine before meals, these little adjustments can help keep germs from spreading at home. 🧼🧡

👉🏼 Swipe through for our top tips to protect your family’s health this September — and stay tuned for Week 3’s shift and how to adjust.

Roughly 9% of U.S. adults consume energy drinks on a daily basis. While many people reach for them to stay alert or boost performance, these beverages contain more than just caffeine. Ingredients like guarana, taurine and other stimulants can also raise blood pressure, increase heart rate and add extra strain to the cardiovascular system. ❤️‍🔥⚡

Dr. Jafar, interventional cardiologist at Nuvance Health, part of Health, was recently featured in Magazine to discuss these concerns — especially for individuals managing hypertension. His insights highlight why it’s important to look beyond caffeine and consider the full list of ingredients in energy drinks.

The key takeaway: moderation matters. Being mindful of what’s in your energy drink can make a real difference for long-term heart health.
