🚨 Flu cases are surging, and Influenza A (H3N2) is hitting harder this season. Symptoms can come on fast and feel more intense, but early care can make a difference.

If flu symptoms begin, reaching out to your primary care provider early is key. Antiviral medications may be recommended and are most effective when started within the first 48 hours. Your provider can help guide next steps and monitor symptoms based on your health history.

If symptoms worsen or you’re unable to reach your primary care provider, visiting urgent care can help ensure timely evaluation and treatment.

The ER should be used for severe symptoms such as a fever of 103°F or higher that doesn’t respond to medication, trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion or signs of dehydration.

Knowing when and where to seek care matters. Staying informed helps protect your family and your community this flu season. Scroll to learn what to more of watch for and when to seek care. 💙

Not all sniffles are created equal. 🤧

We broke down four of the most common over-the-counter cold and flu medications to help you find the right fit for your symptoms.

Here’s what we compared:
✅ Which symptoms they relieve best
✅ Active ingredients
✅ What each medication is best for

If you’re dealing with flu, COVID-19 or another winter illness, choosing the right level of care matters.

🤒 Urgent care = moderate symptoms like fever, cough, congestion or body aches
🚨 ER = severe symptoms like trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion or dehydration

As always, talk with your primary care provider about your sick-season plan and choosing the right medication for your symptoms. Stay safe this sick season!

What a brain surgeon does (and never does) for his own brain health… 🧠

If anyone takes brain health seriously, it’s Dr. Adesh Tandon.

In this video, he shares:
✔️ What he does consistently to protect and support his brain
❌ What he never does — even when it’s tempting
🧠 The small habits that make a big difference over time

Because protecting your brain isn’t about doing everything. It’s about doing the right things, consistently.

2026 is the year we don’t wait. ⏳

We believe preventive care starts early and supports health through every stage of life. That means showing up for routine primary care visits, recommended screenings and ongoing conversations with trusted providers, because early care helps build a strong foundation for long-term health.

Preventive care gives us the opportunity to address small concerns sooner, stay informed about our health and keep care feeling routine rather than reactive. 🗓️

Here’s to choosing early care and prevention so we can protect our health now and have more time later in life for the people we love and the lives we want to live. 🌱

🎵❤️ Your holiday playlist is doing MORE than just setting the mood.

Studies show that music can influence your heart rate and blood pressure. But holiday music? It's like a warm hug for your entire well-being.

Those familiar seasonal songs aren't just nostalgic, they're therapeutic. They lower stress hormones, calm your nervous system and ground you emotionally during a busy season.

Whether you're playing Christmas carols, Hanukkah hymns, Kwanzaa songs or whatever celebrations matter to YOU, the science is clear: your heart responds to the rhythms that bring YOU joy. 🎄✡️🕯️

This holiday season, we’re proud to celebrate our unsung heroes: New Milford Hospital’s Food Services team 🍽️ — recently named Unidine’s Regional Account of the Year, selected from more than 60 hospitals.

This recognition reflects their unwavering commitment to high-quality and safety standards, outstanding employee retention and meaningful community outreach. For years, the team has led the way in providing plow-to-plate meals, sourcing food locally and embracing the belief that food is medicine.

Behind the scenes, they prepare every meal with care and compassion, supporting healing, comforting patients and fueling care teams around the clock. During the holidays, when food brings connection and comfort, their work matters more than ever.

Thank you to our Food Services team for the essential role you play in patient care every single day. ✨

We continue to celebrate a leader whose vision has shaped the story of healthcare in our region for nearly forty years: Dr. John M. Murphy has guided our hospitals through transformation, challenges and growth. His actions have always anchored by one belief: that every community deserves exceptional care. 💙

From his early days as a neurologist, to the creation of Nuvance Health and merger with Northwell Health, Dr. Murphy has never lost sight of the people at the center of healthcare. His decisions have strengthened hospitals, supported caregivers and brought hope to families when they needed it most.

As he prepares for retirement this month, we are proud to honor his legacy with the John M. Murphy, MD Distinguished Chair of Research — ensuring his commitment to discovery, education and the future of care continues for generations to come. 🔬📚

Dr. Murphy’s leadership will continue to impact countless lives ahead!

The holidays come with traditions, treats and a little extra indulgence — and that’s OK. ✨🍽️

Nurse Practitioner Erica Seebeck shares a reminder we all need to hear this time of year: health and wellness aren’t defined by a few meals, a few days or a single season. They’re built over time, through balance, consistency and grace for yourself.

Food is meant to be enjoyed. Movement is meant to support you. Rest is part of health, too. There’s no need to “make up for” the holidays or feel guilt around celebrating with the people you love.

This season, we invite you to zoom out. Enjoy the moments, savor the meals, listen to your body and remember that real wellness is what you practice year-round. ❤️

Hemorrhoids can be a real pain in the butt — both figuratively and literally — especially during the holidays. 🎄💩

Research shows that hemorrhoids and other anorectal issues often follow a seasonal pattern, with higher incidence in the winter months. Cold weather, holiday travel, richer foods and changes in routine can all play a role.

If symptoms flare this time of year, a few small adjustments can help you stay more comfortable.
