📞 Exciting Update from Our Office!

We’ve officially switched over to a brand-new phone system with Weave! 🎉

Our goal has always been to keep our practice as patient centered as possible, and this upgrade is one more step in making sure you feel supported and connected. With Weave:
✨ No more missed calls, if we can’t answer right away, you’ll automatically get a text, so the conversation keeps going.
✨ Easier communication! faster, smoother, and more reliable ways to reach us.

The system went live today, and while we’re still ironing out a few details, we’re so excited about how this will improve your experience with us.

Thank you for your patience as we settle in and Happy Monday from all of us here! 💙

🌞 Man, we thought we were DONE with these heat waves… but here we go again!
Governor Lamont has activated Connecticut’s Extreme Hot Weather Protocol from Monday through Wednesday so be sure to take it easy and stay cool out there!

💧 Need a break from the heat?
Visit 211ct.org or just call 2-1-1 to find a local cooling center near you.

👶 Parents of infants and young kids keep an eye out for signs of thirst and overheating:

Fewer wet diapers than usual

Dry lips or mouth

Skin that’s hot to the touch

Fatigue or less alert than usual

Remember young children can’t always tell us when they’re thirsty, so regular sips of water, shade breaks, and light clothing go a long way.

Stay safe, stay cool, and feel free to share this post with other families! ❄️☀️
