The EEG Department is part of Wyckoff Heights Medical Center’s Neurology Clinic. We provide outpatient EEG (electroencephalogram) studies for patients referred by their healthcare providers to help diagnose and monitor neurological conditions such as seizures and other brain-related disorders.

EEG Technologist Appreciation Week is important because it highlights the critical role EEG technologists play in patient care, from performing accurate brain wave testing to ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure.

This year’s National Nutrition Month theme, “Discover the Power of Nutrition,” highlights how informed food choices and healthy habits support growth, development, and overall well-being at every stage of life. Throughout March, the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center (WHMC) WIC Program supported this theme by providing families with nutrition education, promoting breastfeeding, and highlighting how WIC services can support healthy choices.

On March 3rd, the WHMC WIC Program participated in a baby shower event, hosted by the PICHC Program, where WIC staff introduced the theme and shared how WIC services help families harness the power of nutrition from the very beginning.
On March 12th, the WHMC WIC Program hosted a prenatal event focused on the critical role of balanced nutrition during pregnancy, the importance of prenatal vitamins, and education on preeclampsia to support healthy pregnancies and outcomes.

On March 17th, the WHMC WIC and PICHC Programs co-hosted a National Nutrition Month event centered on complementary feeding, providing families with hands-on nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and live food demonstrations that showed how to prepare homemade baby food and nutritious smoothies using WIC benefits, helping families confidently put the power of nutrition into practice at home.

Did you know that 1 in 24 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer? While it ranks as the 2nd deadliest cancer in America, it doesn’t have to be.

Colon cancer is highly preventable and treatable when caught early. Taking a few moments to schedule a screening can quite literally be a life-saving decision.

When should you start?🕒
Age 45: This is the recommended age to begin regular screenings for most adults.
Don't Wait: If you are 45 or older, now is the time to prioritize your health.

Take Action at Wyckoff📍
We are here to help you navigate your screening options and stay healthy.
