One candle may seem small. But when families around the world light theirs together, something beautiful happens. 🕯️

As part of the International Wave of Light, families and staff from Vassar Brothers Medical Center gathered at the Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum along the Poughkeepsie waterfront to honor pregnancies and babies lost too soon.

Through music, shared moments of remembrance and the lighting of candles, our community joined countless others around the world in honoring lives that will never be forgotten.

Because grief doesn't have an expiration date. Neither does love.

To the families who joined us and those remembering from afar, may you always know that your babies matter, their stories matter and their memory lives on. 🤍

It's a small orange bracelet. But the message it carries could save a life. 🧡⚠️

At Vassar Brothers Medical Center and Northern Dutchess Hospital, we're taking another step toward protecting mothers beyond the delivery room with the introduction of post-birth alert bracelets.

These bright orange wristbands help healthcare professionals quickly recognize when a patient has recently given birth so potentially life-threatening postpartum complications can be identified and treated sooner.

Because here's something more people need to know: Postpartum complications don't always happen in the delivery room.

They can develop days, weeks or even months after childbirth, sometimes when a new mom is already home and focused on caring for her baby.

That's where the orange bracelet comes in. If a new mom needs medical attention, it serves as a simple but important signal to healthcare providers that she's recently given birth and her symptoms could be related to pregnancy or delivery.

It's one more way we're working to keep maternal health a priority long after childbirth, while encouraging moms and their loved ones to recognize warning signs, ask questions and speak up when something doesn't feel right.

A healthy baby matters. And so does a healthy mom. 🤱

You were just checking the time. Now you're 20 videos deep, reading comments from strangers and can't remember why you picked up your phone in the first place. 📱😅

Sound familiar?

And have you ever noticed yourself feeling a little... off afterward? Maybe more anxious, overwhelmed or mentally drained than you were before you started scrolling?

Think about it. You're bouncing between stressful headlines, funny videos, strangers' opinions and endless notifications, all while your brain is anticipating the next interesting thing.

There's actually some science behind why it's so hard to put our phones down. Research has also found links between problematic smartphone use and symptoms of anxiety, depression and poor sleep, particularly among young people.

We realize we're talking about spending less time on social media while you're scrolling through it. The irony isn't lost on us! But that's exactly why we think it's worth having this conversation. Because the more you understand how your scrolling habits can affect your health, the easier it is to make healthier choices.

👉 So, swipe through for the science, the research and a few practical ways to unplug.

Then try our challenge: Put your phone down for 15 minutes today. No scrolling, no checking notifications, no "just one more video." 💜

You inherited your mom’s eyes, your dad’s smile and maybe even your grandma’s stubborn streak. But what about the things you *can't* see? 🧬💗

Genetic testing can be a powerful tool in understanding your cancer risk. Knowing you carry an inherited genetic mutation may open the door to earlier screenings, more personalized care and opportunities to reduce your risk.

It doesn't stop with you, either. If you carry an inherited mutation linked to breast cancer, each of your first-degree relatives (parents, siblings and children) has a 50% chance of carrying that same mutation.

This , Dr. Susan Boolbol is sharing why understanding inherited risk matters and why more women should feel empowered to ask one simple question:

"Should I consider genetic testing?"

Ask for yourself. Ask for your daughters, sisters, mothers and grandmothers. Because advocating for your health could make a difference for generations.

You know your favorite coffee order, your daily routine and probably everyone else's schedule. But how well do you know your own breast health? 👀💗

You don't need to be a breast health expert. You just need to know where to turn when you have questions.

Wondering if you're due for a screening? Not sure whether a change you've noticed is worth mentioning? Curious about what your family history means for your risk? Those questions deserve answers.

That's why we're helping bring breast health resources directly to our Dutchess County neighbors!

For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our Dyson Breast Center team at Vassar Brothers Medical Center, part of the Northwell Cancer Institute, participated in Breast Cancer Awareness Day at Walkway Over the Hudson, connecting our community with trusted information and local resources.

And we're encouraging you to take it one step further with Dutchess County's pledge.

Coming out is personal. Feeling supported should be universal. 🏳️‍🌈💙

In celebration of , our team joined Northwell Health's Expressions Business Employee Resource Group (BERG), which supports LGBTQIA+ team members and allies, to recognize the importance of living authentically and fostering a culture of acceptance, inclusion and belonging.

And while coming out looks different for everyone, one thing should remain the same: access to healthcare where you feel respected, understood and empowered.

That's why our commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community extends beyond awareness. From educational resources and specialized services to personalized care that recognizes each patient's unique needs, we're helping make inclusive healthcare a reality.

🌈 Support starts with each of us. Take the pledge to help create safer, more welcoming spaces for all: https://ow.ly/G6JC50ZXOI8

What happens when hospital leadership steps away from the boardroom and into the departments where patient care happens every day? 💬

Conversations that matter!

To celebrate his first anniversary as Northwell Health's President and CEO, Dr. John D'Angelo visited Vassar Brothers Medical Center, where team members welcomed him into their departments to share their experiences, discuss patient care and talk about the importance of employee well-being.

For our community, it's a look at something that happens beyond the exam room: leaders listening to the people who know our patients and their needs firsthand.

Because understanding what our teams experience every day is an important part of understanding how we can continue improving the care we provide. 💙🤝
