Ever wonder why scary movies make your heart race or your stomach twist? Turns out, fear hits more than just your nerves... it hits your whole body. It’s not just the jump scares — it’s science.

💓 Heart: Your pulse spikes and blood pressure rises as your body prepares to “fight or flee.”

🧠 Brain: Interprets on-screen danger as real, kicking your fight-or-flight response into gear.

💪 Muscles: You tense up or grip your seat — your body’s bracing for action.

🧬 Hormones: Adrenaline and cortisol surge, then endorphins kick in once the scare passes.

🍿 Digestion: Blood flow shifts away from your stomach, leaving that knot-in-your-gut feeling.

So next time you jump at a horror movie, know it’s your body doing exactly what it’s designed to do.

Read more about how fear affects your heart, gut and hormones this spooky season. 🎃👻

Not all risk factors for breast cancer are created equal. 💗

Dr. Lisa Curcio explains that understanding your risk starts with knowing what’s modifiable (like lifestyle choices) and what’s non-modifiable (like family history).

For example, a grandmother diagnosed at 80 carries a different level of risk than a mother who developed breast cancer before menopause. And your lifetime exposure to estrogen and history of breast disease also play a role. There’s even an algorithm we use to help calculate that risk more precisely.

Knowing these differences helps you and your care team create a screening plan that’s right for you.

What an incredible evening at ! 💕✨

The Dutchess County Fairgrounds came alive with music, laughter and a true sense of community as we gathered to honor survivors, support those currently in treatment and raise awareness for breast cancer.

PinkFest officially kicked off Light the Village Pink, our month-long celebration of awareness, connection, and care — all dedicated to ensuring that the best breast cancer care is available right here in our community.

Check out more moments from and see what’s coming up next with Alyssa Redenti as we continue to advocate for early detection — and remind everyone to protect your pumpkins and prioritize regular self-checks. 💗🎃

Our Materials Management Team keeps everything running — quietly, consistently and with incredible heart. 💙

They’re the first ones in and the last ones out, making sure every unit has what it needs to deliver exceptional care — from the ER to the OR, labs to loading docks.

When supply challenges hit or emergencies arise, this team doesn’t flinch; they problem-solve, pivot and find a way forward. Because for them, it’s never just about supplies — it’s about people.

Their dedication ensures our caregivers can focus on what matters most: the patient in front of them.

Thank you to our Materials Management and Supply Chain team for your commitment, creativity and teamwork. You truly keep our hospital moving. 💪

Happy Supply Chain Week!

It’s National Midwifery Week, and we’re celebrating compassionate care at every stage. 💗

At Northern Dutchess Hospital, our midwifery team embodies what it means to combine expertise with empathy. For more than 43 years, Nuvance Health’s midwifery program has redefined women’s care across the Hudson Valley — and right here in Rhinebeck, our Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) and Certified Midwives (CMs) continue that tradition every day.

From adolescence to menopause, our midwives meet patients where they are. They listen, educate and support each person through life’s changes with care that honors both science and the body’s natural rhythm. 🌿

Led by Midwife Director Whitney Hall, the Northern Dutchess Hospital midwifery team works closely with physicians, nurses and doulas to ensure patients have the guidance and confidence they need to make informed choices about their health. 🤍

Read more about the midwives who have shaped generations of care across our region and continue to champion women’s health every day. ✨
