The new colleague at our Hudson Hospital & Clinic lab doesn’t say much, but she’s an important part of the team.

She’s a service dog named Nova, who dons personal protective equipment before she goes to work. Nova works with University of Minnesota student Wes Flint, who’s doing a rotation in the lab as part of his clinical education.

Nova is there to alert Wes when his blood sugar is low. “She never really sleeps, she just lays there and watches everything that’s going on,” Wes says. “But she still gets plenty of breaks and gets to play when we’re not working.”

Nova was trained with Wes’s saliva and can smell when his blood sugar drops. When that occurs, she walks over and gives him a nudge. Wes says it happens a few times a week.

Lab manager Sarah Thomson says Hudson lab leaders made sure Wes and Nova would be accommodated when they arrived for their two-week rotation. Everything has gone smoothly, and Nova has become a trusted colleague.

“Nova is actually being more cautious than we are,” Sarah jokes. “She has goggles on all day."

We're making it easier for families to get the specialized neonatal care their babies need — right here, close to home.

With our new Enhanced Care Nursery, we can now care for infants born as early as 35 weeks. For families, that means fewer transfers, less stress and more time bonding with your little one.

This wouldn’t have been possible without support from the Hudson Hospital Foundation and many generous donors, who helped fund nursery renovations, specialized equipment and extensive training to support this new level of care.

We can’t wait to welcome you to the new space!
