If you were a teenager when The Nightmare Before Christmas hit theaters in 1993, it’s time to schedule your colonoscopy!

This is one nightmare you can avoid. A colonoscopy can prevent colon cancer by finding and removing polyps early and catching cancer when it’s most treatable.

Schedule your screening: 920.206.3042

Today our employees enjoyed the Physician’s Breakfast, an annual tradition where our Medical Staff serves breakfast—prepared by Harvest Market—to employees throughout the hospital. It was a wonderful morning made even more special with appearances by the Watertown High School Choir and Santa Claus himself!

“Don’t run with scissors” hits differently during the holidays.

Cuts and lacerations are common this time of year. Broken ornaments, sharp knives, and opening packages can all lead to painful injuries—and emergency departments often see a spike in lacerations during the holidays.

Stay safe:
• Handle glass ornaments carefully
• Keep knives sharp (dull blades slip more easily) and away from children
• Use scissors—while stationary—rather than knives to open packages

If care is needed, Watertown Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Department is here for you 24/7. Our team includes board-certified emergency physicians, experienced nurses, and skilled techs, with on call specialists when needed.

The holidays should be full of joy – not ER visits. Yet every year, thousands of people end up in the emergency room for preventable reasons. Stay safe with a few simple steps: use sturdy ladders, handle ornaments carefully, cook food thoroughly, pace yourself at parties, and listen to your body. At Watertown Regional Medical Center, we’re honored you entrust us with your care – but when the holidays roll around, we’d rather you be healthy and celebrating at home.
