Our very own therapy pup Harrison is running into spring! We’re so ready for more sunny warm days where we can spend time outdoors. And as we know, even a little bit of time outdoors has proven to lower stress levels, enhance cognitive function, support better sleep, and more!

Preeclampsia, a serious condition during pregnancy, can develop quickly — and it doesn’t always look the same every time.

At 29 weeks pregnant, Keri knew she was at higher risk. She’d experienced preeclampsia during her first pregnancy and was being closely monitored by Stamford Health’s maternal fetal medicine specialists. When her blood pressure began rising, her care team acted quickly. She was admitted to the hospital in the hopes of prolonging her pregnancy. Her condition worsened when she developed HELLP, a life-threatening pregnancy complication characterized by the break down of red blood cells.

“The team immediately stepped in and did everything they could to keep me calm,” Keri shared.

Preeclampsia affects up to 1 in 12 pregnancies and can be serious for both mom and baby if left untreated. HELLP is relatively rare in pregnancy, but 20% of women with preeclampsia develop it. For Keri, recognizing the warning signs and having a trusted care team made all the difference.

Recovery wasn’t easy, but she was met with compassion and support every step of the way. Today, Keri is home with her family, grateful for the care she received and hopeful that sharing her story helps raise awareness for other moms.

If you’re pregnant and something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and talk to your provider.

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month! So we had to reshare one of our favorite videos featuring our incredible front desk volunteers at Stamford Health. They are often the first few faces you see when entering the hospital and their compassionate care helps guide our patients to where they need to be.

Thank you to all our volunteers who go above and beyond!

Behind every result is a dedicated team. Our Stamford Hospital lab processes hundreds of samples each day — quietly, carefully, and always with patient safety at the center of everything they do.

New big sister Claire was born at Stamford Hospital in 2023 as a tiny fighter in our NICU, and she's now welcoming her little sister Anna Grace to the family.

Welcome to the world, Anna, who arrived 2 days after her due date! It's so amazing to see this family go from a premature beginning to a full-term story. And we always love to see our thriving as big siblings! The Tiny Miracles Foundation

Last week, our President & CEO, Kathy Silard, joined other hospital leaders at the state capitol to meet with lawmakers about Connecticut’s hospital tax and what it means for patients and communities.

The discussion focused on the importance of a smarter approach — one that brings more federal funding back to Connecticut and reinvests those dollars where they matter most: patient care. Using hospital tax dollars effectively helps hospitals continue to provide high quality care, protect access to essential services, and support the health of communities across our state.

It was an impactful day – with more important work ahead.
