Oh, for cute! 💜 These are the most popular girl names for babies born here in 2025:
What ENT patients say when we help them find relief:
“Great doctor!!!”
“Absolutely, Dr. O’Halloran is the best ENT doctor available!”
“Dr. O’Halloran did Everly’s ear tubes and my son’s, so we trust him a lot. And I love that he gives out his cell phone number to patients. We didn’t need it, but I was grateful and relieved to have it.”
“The nurses took good care of me too, because I was nervous.”
“It’s nerve-wracking to have surgery on your face – by your brain and your eyes. But Dr. O’Halloran is so knowledgeable and his demeanor is so reassuring that it makes you feel comfortable. And the whole process was a lot easier than I was expecting.”
It may not feel like a heart attack. But it could be one.
Women’s heart attack symptoms are often quieter. Sometimes, they feel like everyday discomforts:
• Pain in the back, neck, arms, jaw, or stomach
• Shortness of breath without discomfort
• Pressure or tightness in the chest
• Nausea or lightheadedness
• Unusual tiredness and weakness
• Breaking out in a cold sweat
Our team can help you understand the signs and get care quickly.

When Robert Morrison felt heavy pain in his chest and groin, he worried it was something serious.
It took one message through the MyHealth Info Patient Portal to confirm that he was right: His primary care provider urged him to come to NH+C’s Emergency Department (ED).
Once here, teams from the ED, Imaging, and Lab worked together, each step flowing smoothly as they checked his heart, scanned for internal issues, and reviewed results. His diagnosis: severe acid reflux. Thankfully, not a heart attack.
Robert started medication and worked with his primary care provider, Dr. Adam Ailabouni, on a lasting solution.
“I like how it was all connected: I reached out to my doctor on the portal, and the portal reached out to the nurse, who reached out to me, who sent me to the ED,” Robert says. “I like how the departments work together to make sure the patient is safe.”
Think you have the flu? Influenza can hit hard – but appropriate care can help you feel better, faster, and reduce the risk of it spreading to others.
Symptoms include a high fever, cough, sore throat, headache, tiredness, muscle and body aches, a runny or stuffy nose, and occasionally vomiting and diarrhea.
When you’re under the weather, we recommend you:
• STAY HOME, especially until you’ve been fever-free for at least 24 hours.
• Rest up and drink plenty of fluids, including teas or other warm beverages.
• Consider a humidifier if the air inside is dry.
• Treat headaches or fever with acetaminophen or ibuprofen, and use cough drops when needed.
• Understand when you should go seek medical care. To help you make that decision, we put together some fast facts to help you navigate this flu season. Explore them by following the link below.

It was an unusual way to celebrate a birthday. But then, 100 isn’t your typical birthday.
Margit Fredrickson was turning 100. Her son Karl thought she’d like to meet a baby who shares her birthday . . . 100 years apart. He called the Birth Center at Northfield Hospital that day to ask if any new babies had arrived. That’s how Margit met Waylon, just hours after he was born.
We’re proud that Northfield Hospital is a place where community connects . . . for over 115 years.
Our hospital and clinics provide state-of-the-art care in a tranquil environment that’s easy to reach, easy to navigate, and always welcoming. Our providers and staff are here for you in your happiest . . . and hardest . . . moments.
