This week, New Hampshire Public Radio reported on new study findings from researchers at Dartmouth that show rates of kidney cancer are higher in Merrimack, NH (https://bit.ly/4oVgdpd). As part of an ongoing drive to protect our communities, Megan Romano, PhD, a member of Dartmouth Cancer Center’s Cancer Population Sciences research program, is helping lead much-needed efforts to understand how environmental exposures may affect cancer risk.

A study on kidney cancer rates released in October shows the rate of kidney cancer in Merrimack is 38% higher than in the rest of the state. The research is part of a long-term investigation that began with residents’ concerns about chemical exposure.

By 2035, more than 22 million people are expected to be living with cancer, up from about 18.6 million people as of January 1, 2025. But cancer survivorship is a sensitive term that carries different meanings for different people.

There are common emotional challenges that survivors may want support for, such as:
* Fear of recurrence
* Anxiety
* Depression
* Loss of control
* Diminished sense of worth or purpose
* Grief, survivor's guilt
* Difficulty with personal and professional relationships

And regardless of when someone starts thinking of themselves as a survivor, many have to live with the challenges that can occur as a result of diagnosis and treatment.

“Getting people the high‐quality care they need after active treatment is so important,” says Jennifer A. Tabiri, MSN, APRN, who works together with Michael L. Pearl, MD and Ilana Cass, MD, in the Gynecological Cancer (Gyn-Onc) Program.

An update from our Dartmouth Health experts on this topic you may have seen in the news.

In the U.S., su***de is the 2nd leading cause of death among people ages 10-14 and among people ages 15-24, and the 11th leading cause of death overall. Studies show that people who may be thinking about su***de often feel relief when someone takes the time to ask how they are doing in a caring, compassionate way.

💬 This September, ***dePreventionMonth, is a time to remember that simply starting the conversation may make all the difference.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please know that you are not alone. Resources and help are available:
📞 988 – Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 24/7)
🌐 NAMI HelpLine: 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or text "HELPLINE" to 62640
💙 NH Rapid Response Access Point – Call/Text 1-833-710-6477

Thanks to Dartmouth Health Children's and NAMI New Hampshire for coordinating this information for us. Please continue to share with others in our community.

One of the most meaningful honors in nursing is our Nurse Preceptor/Mentor awards. This special recognition carries on the legacy of Barbara Agnew, an extraordinary nurse, whose passion for teaching and compassion changed many lives. Barbara knew how to help new nurses find confidence and purpose in their work.

This year, we recognize three incredible nurses who continue Barbara’s legacy by mentoring, guiding and supporting new team members.

Congratulations Tawa Borges da Silva and Hailey LaFave of DHMC, and our Ginny Dame of Nashua!

Thank you for empowering the next generation of nurses to develop their skills and advance professionally. Your impact is felt throughout our organization.
