Rehab isn’t just for injuries. It’s for life. 💙

In this video, occupational therapists Olivia and Vito share how OT supports so much more than recovery. It helps people regain independence, rebuild confidence and return to the routines, responsibilities and activities that make life feel like their own again.

From getting dressed in the morning to getting back to work, caring for your family or picking up the hobbies you love, occupational therapy meets you where you are and helps you move forward.

Preventive care is not always easy, and honestly, it is not always something we want to think about. It is easy to say “I feel fine” or “I will get to it later.”

Togetherish Mom reminds us that staying well starts before anything feels wrong. 💭

It is about choosing to take care of yourself now, not waiting for symptoms to make the decision for you.

That can look like making the call you have been putting off, scheduling the appointment or finally checking something off your list.

Those small steps matter more than we think, and they add up to peace of mind over time.

Let’s stay informed and stay well together. Nuvance Health, now part of Northwell Health, encourages you to prioritize preventive care and take that next step. 💙

Looking for a simple way to boost your health? Start with a walk this spring!🚶‍♀️🌷

For most of his life, Phillip Brackett took pride in staying active. But over time, chronic back pain from degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis made everyday activities like sitting, standing and walking difficult.

Routine pre-surgical testing before spine surgery revealed something unexpected: coronary artery disease. Phillip was surprised because he had no symptoms or risk factors.

His care team created a plan so he could safely have spine surgery first, followed by cardiac surgery to restore blood flow to his heart.

He underwent TOPS mobility-preserving spine surgery with neurosurgeon Dr. Joshua Marcus at Norwalk Hospital, as well as a quadruple coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure with cardiac surgeon Dr. Richard Kaplon at Danbury Hospital — both performed using the latest techniques by leaders in their respective fields.

Today, Phillip feels strong and grateful and is traveling, walking long distances and doing the things he loves again. 🚶✨

His story is a reminder that routine checkups and well-coordinated care between specialists can make all the difference in helping people get back to living well! 💙

Spring is a season of growth, renewal and building healthy habits. And that includes your brain. 🌱🧠

Your brain is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. Memory, focus and cognitive function are not just things that change with age. They are things you can actively work on and improve over time through daily habits, mental activity and overall lifestyle.

This spring, consider adding brain health to the list of ways you're taking care of yourself.

Neurologist Dr. Matthew Imperioli shares how you can strengthen your memory and support long term brain health.

Today is World Health Day. This year, the World Health Organization (WHO) is encouraging people around the world to “Stand with Science” and celebrate the role science plays in improving and saving lives. 🔬🌍

This global campaign highlights how science helps protect and improve health and encourages people everywhere to share real stories of how science changes lives.

We see the impact of science every day in the screenings that detect cancer early, the technology that guides complex procedures, and the treatments, therapies and rehabilitation programs that help patients recover and get back to their lives.

The patient stories in this post are real examples of what it means to stand with science and how science continues to improve outcomes and quality of life for the patients and communities we serve.

Join the global conversation and stand with science. 🧬

If you've been told you need a spinal fusion for stenosis or spondylolisthesis, you may have more than one option. 👀

The TOPS System (Total Posterior Spine System) is an alternative to traditional lumbar spinal fusion designed to relieve pain while still allowing for motion at the treated level. For the right person, this can mean pain relief while maintaining more natural movement after surgery.

Spine surgery has come a long way, and new technology is giving people more options than ever before. In this video, neurosurgeon Dr. Joshua Marcus explains:

Your kidneys and your heart are more connected than you think. 🫀🫘

When the kidneys are not working the way they should, it can put extra stress on the heart and blood vessels. Over time, that can lead to serious heart-related complications.

In fact, people with chronic kidney disease are more likely to experience heart problems than kidney failure itself.

Right now, members of our community are facing some of the hardest days of their lives, but they are not facing them alone. 💙🎗️

G.M.P., a local patient undergoing treatment, shared that her care team has become like family, supporting and caring for her through every step of a difficult journey.

That's what the Northwell Walk to Raise Health at Norwalk is all about — supporting patients, families and the care teams who walk beside them every day at the Whittingham Cancer Center.

Join us on Sunday, May 17 at Calf Pasture Beach for a meaningful day on the Norwalk waterfront in support of cancer care close to home. This event helps fund care, support services and lifesaving cancer programs for patients and families in our community.

When you walk, you walk for patients like G.M.P. You walk for families. You walk for the care that changes lives close to home. 👟🫶

We hope you will join us!
