Here’s something you may not know! Mammograms do more than check for lumps. Breast density can increase cancer risk and make tumors harder to detect, which is why some women may need additional imaging like breast ultrasound or MRI. Timing your exam the week after your menstrual cycle can also improve comfort and image quality. And because not all cancers form a lump, routine screening and advances like 3D mammography play a key role in early detection. Healthy habits like staying active, limiting alcohol and maintaining a healthy weight also support overall breast health.

Small changes can make a big difference for your heart. Start with simple, sustainable choices to support better heart health.

When it comes to heart health, taking smaller dietary steps is often a more practical and sustainable solution than adopting an overwhelming list of “don’ts.” https://baptisthealth.net/baptist-health-news/cardiologist-top-foods-we-often-limit-or-avoid

Some health warning signs are easier to miss than others.
Erectile dysfunction can be more than a sexual health issue. It may be an early sign of heart disease, stroke risk, diabetes, or other underlying conditions.

We’re so grateful for your kind words. It’s an honor to care for your mom. Wishing her continued strength and recovery!💚

Baptist Health Bethesda Hospital

For the last 33 days, the tiny but freaking mighty hospital/ICU named BETHESDA WEST has used every Herculean measure to keep my Mom alive... & SUCCEEDED. They literally saved her. They saved her again. They saved yet again. They refused to ever let anything get in the way of my mother’s recovery. In my life I have met many heroes, but none as supreme as the medical staff & leadership at this hospital.

To Doctor Keith Foster, thank you for your tireless leadership, your restless nights & your constant communication. Thank you to Anna Rosacker & Betty Pelissier for always steering the ship and Joe Natoli for always checking in on us. To my Mom’s surgeon, Doctor Rennie Martinez, I don’t know that I have ever met a surgeon as confident and as reassuring and as brilliant as you. Please feel free to cut me open whenever you think it’s best😂. To the tireless team of Internists including: Singh, Baum, Palumbo, Loufti, Breit, Kessler and the many others, thank you for always caring and always fighting to keep Mom stable. I need to give a special thanks to Respiratory: Respiratory team: Mera Broktor, Herve ,Sherick, Lavern,, Christian, Merci, Patrick, Randy, and Yesina (& I know I’m missing people but know we love you!)

I want to thank the incredible neurology team (Rosenbaum and Dragomir) , cardiology team (Dr. Goldgrab and Heller), infectious disease team (Kiminyo), OT/PT (Jason, Benjamin, Kelly, Adeline, and Dorothy); Dr. Mehta from gastro & the residents like Justin and Jen and our nighttime hero Josh Heatwole. Then there is the nursing staff. I never really understood until now that these are the people who truly are the Avengers of the ICU system.There are simply too many names to mention, but I need to thank Michelle, Karen, Kayla, Lucien, Diana, Odette, Julio, and Anide. Also, a special thanks to David at security who brightened our morning every day & asked about my Mom.

Finally, to our amazing medical friends who helped steer the ship from afar. Thank you to my brothers & ; to my incredible surrogate sisters & Doctors Green, Merenda & Spirt. Now off to REHAB🙏💪

Here’s something you may not know! Mariners Hospital is home to one of the busiest hyperbaric chambers in the country for dive-related injuries. It’s also one of the largest, with space for multiple patients and medical staff to accompany them, because no one should face a medical emergency alone. Patients receive care in a pressurized environment designed to support healing, whether for decompression sickness or advanced wound care. And when their condition allows, many are surprised to learn they can talk, read or even watch TV during treatment.

Here’s something you may not know! You can stop breathing hundreds of times a night and not even realize it. People with obstructive sleep apnea may stop breathing 30–100+ times per hour. Many think they’re sleeping fine, but their brain is actually waking them up over and over just enough to keep them breathing, which can leave them feeling exhausted the next day.
