Great teams have members who bring distinct gifts, such as wisdom and experience. One of our Campaign Leadership Council members, Dale Atkins, PhD (seen here in the butterfly jacket), called this to mind when she shared her book, "The Turquoise Butterfly." 🦋It celebrates a bond between a grandmother and her granddaughter. With it, this psychologist and author focuses on connections between generations, but the lessons--the power of listening, the importance of creating meaningful moments, and the belief in steady acts of caring--go beyond.

Specifically, we are thinking of those who support us. We see this in our donors and in our Council members. A heartfelt thank you, Dale, and our community of supporters! ❤❤❤

During ❤ National Heart Month, ❤ we are thinking about heart health — and the people helping. Meet Christopher Howes, MD, Chief of Cardiology and Medical Director of the YNHH Heart and Vascular Center, who, with a team of cardiovascular experts, ensures that advanced care is available close to home.

This is important, because heart disease is the leading cause of death in Connecticut. At Greenwich Hospital, we see the impact — that’s why we are taking action with preventive care, accurate diagnoses, and cutting-edge treatments.

♥️ To our big-hearted supporters: Thank you! During National Heart Month, we celebrate you — and the countless people you help us protect.

Who are these ❤ very good boys ❤? Say hello to Finn and Beau! They are trained therapy dogs who stop by Greenwich Hospital to alleviate stress and bring a smile to everyone they see, including patients and their families and our staff. With gentle tail wags, they calmly receive lots of “oohs” and “aahs” and cuddles as part of their method for providing comfort.

Thank you to the volunteers who share these four-legged friends with us! Our hearts are full! 🐾 Greenwich Hospital

Today, in preparation for an upcoming wall-breaking ceremony, we got a quick tour of some of the work being done on Smilow Cancer Hospital at Greenwich Hospital.

Its creation is the fulfillment of a vision to provide our local community access to exceptional oncological care. It will offer patients gene therapy and precision medicine treatments alongside clinical trials, all delivered by a team of exceptionally trained, multidisciplined physician experts. And the space will be calming and comfortable for patients and their families.

❤ We couldn’t do this without you! ❤ "The project is a philanthropic opportunity of our Arc of Care Campaign for Greenwich Hospital," said Noel Appel, SVP and Chief Development Officer, "and we are grateful to the kind and generous community that continues to help us build for our future."

Why does precision medicine matter to you? We’ll let the expert, Dr. Oh, explain: “We now have so many new therapies. Cancer drug development is one of the most active areas in the world, and we understand a lot more about what makes cancer progress and grow, so we’re able to do targeted, focused treatments… . Precision cancer medicine means trying to find the right treatments for the right patient at the right time. About one-third of patients are beneficiaries of this kind of understanding – the genomics of the cancer and getting a targeted treatment. … As cancer treatment becomes more complex, we must move to a space where we can help doctors deliver the best possible care.”

Thank you for supporting medical advances at Greenwich Hospital! Read full interview in our magazine at giving.greenhosp.org. More about Dr. Oh at linkedin.com/in/williamohmd.
