As the school year settles into autumn, many classrooms are abuzz with sniffles, coughs and rising sick days. According to Family Medicine Physician Dr. Elizabeth Gershberg, students returning to enclosed spaces in large groups makes it easy for illnesses to spread to siblings and parents. Children with asthma, weakened immune systems, or other health conditions should consult their doctor about treatment. To help slow the spread of illnesses, Dr. Gershberg recommends frequent handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes with elbows, staying home when feverish, keeping immunizations up to date, and supporting overall health with sleep, hydration and balanced nutrition.

Our tiniest pumpkin is ready to roll into their first Halloween! Special thanks to our NICU Associates who worked so hard on creating priceless memories for our families.

Halloween is all about fun, but staying safe should be part of the plan. When trick-or-treating, it's always better to go out in a group. Sticking to familiar, well-lit streets can help drivers see children more easily. Trips and falls can also be dangerous, but carrying flashlights or glow sticks and wearing reflective clothing can help prevent them. Before anyone digs into the candy, take a minute to check it because a little caution goes a long way.
