You deserve to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday.

Wellness is not about perfection. It is about balance, consistency and giving yourself room to enjoy the moments that matter.

And yes…if you have been working toward your goals all year, a little Thanksgiving indulgence definitely fits the assignment.

Think of it as fueling your emotional well-being with mashed potatoes. ✨

Take care of yourself, make the choices that feel good for your body and enjoy your day with the people you love. Because a balanced life has room for both vegetables AND pie. 🥧🦃

Being a family caregiver can feel like an emotional roller coaster, especially during November, National Family Caregivers Month. 💙

At Danbury Hospital, the Goldstone Caregiver Center is here to support you with the resources, space and compassion every caregiver deserves.

If you’re a family caregiver, know that you’re not alone. Don Kelly shared his experience to help others going through a similar experience:

“Being a caregiver means carrying a mix of emotions — love, fear, hope and sometimes guilt. It’s not easy, and it’s not something you have to do alone. There’s a whole community of caregivers who share your experience and want to support you.

For me, the Goldstone Caregiver Center at Danbury Hospital was a safe space to decompress, cry and connect with others. If you’re a caregiver, know that resources like this are here for you.

Caregiving can be lonely, but you don’t have to walk this path by yourself. There are places where you can find comfort, understanding and community.

The Goldstone Caregiver Center welcomed me every day, offering quiet rooms and caring staff. If you’re supporting someone you love, reach out and let yourself be supported, help is available.”

The Goldstone Caregiver Center welcomes you with comfort, understanding and community. And to all those who show up every day for the people they love: Thank you. Your strength, compassion and resilience do not go unnoticed. 🕊️

This month, we’re sharing a family story from one of our content creators (with permission) to raise awareness, because her diagnosis was as unexpected as it was life-altering. She was diagnosed with NSCLC, a type of lung cancer many assume only impacts smokers, but that isn’t always true. She had never smoked or been around smokers, which made everything even more confusing and shocking.

We’re proud to work with content creators who use their platforms to share real stories that educate, empower and support their communities. Alyssa’s story is a reminder of why that matters. 🤍✨

Her mom’s cancer developed in just six months. Six short months from a completely clear X-ray to a stage 3 tumor and a terrifying diagnosis. Looking back, there were subtle signs but nothing that fit the “typical” mold.

As their family navigated the unknown, they focused on one day at a time. Weekly lunches became a ritual. Sometimes pickles and sausages. Other times bagels and miso soup. Watching her fight was both inspiring and incredibly difficult. She fought fiercely, and she won. She rang the bell, and her family is forever grateful. 🔔

Her journey taught them this: Listen to your body. If something feels off, trust it. Speak up. Take yourself seriously. Early detection saves lives, and Alyssa’s mom is living proof.

As Lung Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, let this story be your reminder to prioritize your health and pay attention to what your body is telling you.🎗️

Below is a link to understanding lung cancer risk and symptoms, even if you are not a smoker:

Ever scroll for so long that you stand up feeling foggy, drained or just off? 😮‍💨

There’s a name for that feeling online: “brain rot.” And while it’s not a medical term, the impact of too much screen time on your mind is very real.

Your brain is constantly taking in information from your devices. When it doesn’t get enough breaks, movement, real-world interaction or rest, it can leave you feeling unfocused, irritable and mentally worn out.

The good news? Your brain can bounce back faster than you think. Your brain deserves a healthy break. 💙📱✨

Lung cancer isn’t one-size-fits-all — and knowing the difference between the two main types can truly save lives. 💙

🔹 Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): The most common type. When caught early, surgery is often an option.
🔹 Small cell lung cancer (SCLC): Less common, more aggressive, and typically treated with chemotherapy.

Understanding how these cancers develop and are treated is key to earlier detection and better outcomes.

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. 💜

Pancreatic cancer is often called the “silent” cancer because symptoms can be vague — things like unexplained weight loss, jaundice, new-onset diabetes or persistent abdominal/back pain. That’s why awareness, early evaluation and knowing your risk factors matter so much.

At Danbury Hospital, our care teams specialize in providing the latest personalized treatment plans and whole-person support for patients and families.

This month, and always, we stand with those facing pancreatic cancer and thank those working so hard to find a cure.

You asked… and we listened. 👀🎃

Our sister hospital’s NICU Halloween photos were such a hit that we’re giving the people what they want — more adorable NICU babies in costume.

These tiny costumes remind us this is just the beginning of big futures and even bigger dreams for these NICU cuties. We can’t wait to see what their bright futures have in store!✨

This month, we are thankful for the ability to move as we age. ✨

Movement supports independence, confidence and the freedom to enjoy the moments that matter most during the holidays.

Dr. Jason Friedman, sports medicine, and Dr. Jodi Friedman, geriatric medicine, are sharing simple and safe exercises you or your loved one can try at home to stay strong, steady and confident throughout the season. ✨💙

At Danbury Hospital, we’re reminded every day that veterans aren’t just heroes in history books — they’re our patients, our coworkers, our nurses, our neighbors and the families who stand beside them.

From all of us at Danbury Hospital and across Nuvance Health: we are honored to care for you, work with you, support you and celebrate you. 💙
