March is National Nutrition Month, a time to recognize the important role healthy food plays in supporting the well-being of our communities.

Last week at Bridgeport Hospital, members of our Food & Nutrition team stepped into the community, volunteering their time to distribute free, fresh and healthy groceries to more than 150 households. Their commitment to community health extends beyond clinical care, helping ensure individuals and families have access to nutritious foods that support healthier lives.

A special thank you to our Food & Nutrition team and Connecticut Foodshare for helping make healthy choices more accessible in our community.

Expecting parents have a lot to consider leading up to the birth of their baby. Who should be their provider? What should go in their birth plan? Choosing where to deliver can help answer some of those questions.

There are a few options for where people can deliver a baby, but not every location is ideal for each patient. Although a patient’s autonomy for deciding which setting for delivery is best, underlying medical and obstetrical conditions should always be taken into consideration.

A hospital offers full medical support, pain management options and emergency services if needed.

A birthing center is often a midwife-led environment and does not have as many emergency services available. However, birthing centers often work with hospitals to ensure transfer of care is available if needed.

A home birth is an option that may be acceptable for low-risk pregnancies with an established transfer plan. Research shows that for truly low-risk patients, outcomes can be similar to those in birth centers; however risks increase if complications arise.

Bridgeport Hospital Heart and Vascular Center (HVC) brought education and awareness to the forefront during its first Mending Broken Hearts Symposium, held in February, also Heart Month. The event offered staff and patients an opportunity to learn about advanced approaches to diagnosing and treating heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States.

Throughout the symposium, HVC experts led discussions on a range of topics including cardiac imaging, cardiac surgery, electrophysiology and structural heart and valve disease. Vendors who supply many of the devices and tools used by HVC physicians were also on-site, providing demonstrations to Bridgeport Hospital staff and explaining how their products support patient care.

“It’s so important to highlight the advances in cardiac care, specifically during Heart Month, when we look to raise awareness about heart disease and promote cardiovascular health,” said Samuel Hahn, MD, section chief of Cardiology at Bridgeport Hospital’s Heart and Vascular Center and associate professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale School of Medicine. “Many of these cardiac diagnoses are complex, and whatever we can do to educate our colleagues and patients about treatments can only benefit everyone involved in cardiac care.”
