It’s Alcohol Awareness Month... a time to take a closer, more honest look at how alcohol shows up in our lives and in our communities.

For many, alcohol is just that: a drink, a toast, a moment shared with friends or family and nothing more.

But for 57 million Americans, it’s something else. It’s a pattern that can impact health, safety and overall well-being in ways that often go unnoticed or unspoken. And it doesn’t always look the way people assume. It can show up in everyday moments, in habits that feel normal, in situations that don’t raise red flags.

That’s why this month matters.

Not to judge. Not to stigmatize. But to raise awareness, encourage reflection and open the door to real conversations. Because when we remove judgment, we make it easier for people to be honest about their experiences and more willing to seek support if they need it.

So where do we go from here? We check in with ourselves. We pay attention to patterns, not just moments. We check in with the people around us, even when it feels uncomfortable. And we create space for honest, judgment-free conversations that prioritize health and well-being.

If you or someone you know may be struggling, talk to a family member, a friend, or your doctor.

Terri Nackid knows the cancer journey from both sides. 💙

As a patient who faced recurring breast cancer and as a member of the Northwell Health Foundation, she understands firsthand what it means to receive care AND to support it. The Whittingham Cancer Center has been a meaningful part of her story — a place of expertise, compassion and support when it mattered most.

That’s what the Northwell Walk to Raise Health at Norwalk is all about. Supporting patients, families and the care teams who walk beside them every step of the way.

Join us Sunday, May 17 at Calf Pasture Beach for a meaningful day on the Norwalk waterfront in support of cancer care close to home. This event helps fund critical care, support services and lifesaving programs for patients and families in our community.

When you walk, you walk for patients like Terri.
You walk for families.
You walk for support teams.
You walk for care that changes lives, right here at home. 👟🫶

We hope you will join us!

More people than ever are turning to AI for health information. 🤖

In fact, a recent report found that tens of millions of people globally use tools like ChatGPT every day to ask healthcare-related questions.

As a healthcare provider, Dr. Ezra Guttmann supports patients being informed — understanding your symptoms, conditions and medical terminology can help you feel more confident in your care.

AI can be a helpful place to start. But it’s not a substitute for medical care. 🚫

Your healthcare provider offers what AI can’t:
✔️ Personalized guidance based on your unique health history
✔️ Physical examination and clinical evaluation
✔️ Experienced, evidence-based decision-making tailored to you

Use AI to learn. But always partner with a provider when it comes to your health.

A look inside the conversations shaping better surgical care at Norwalk Hospital. 👇

This week, Philip Corvo, MD, led grand rounds with a focus on enhanced recovery after surgery and what that truly means for patients and care teams.

The discussion went beyond procedures. It explored how we approach the full surgical journey, from diagnosis and pre-operative planning to treatment strategies and recovery. Dr. Corvo walked through different treatment philosophies and how care teams can align around approaches that support better outcomes while keeping the patient experience at the center.

He also emphasized the importance of setting clear, realistic expectations. When patients understand what recovery looks like and what success means for them, it creates a stronger partnership between patient and provider and leads to more confident, supported care.

These are the conversations that continue to push care forward. Thoughtful, collaborative and grounded in what matters most to the people we serve.

Rehab isn’t just for injuries. It’s for life. 💙

In this video, occupational therapists Olivia and Vito share how OT supports so much more than recovery. It helps people regain independence, rebuild confidence and return to the routines, responsibilities and activities that make life feel like their own again.

From getting dressed in the morning to getting back to work, caring for your family or picking up the hobbies you love, occupational therapy meets you where you are and helps you move forward.

Preventive care is not always easy, and honestly, it is not always something we want to think about. It is easy to say “I feel fine” or “I will get to it later.”

Togetherish Mom reminds us that staying well starts before anything feels wrong. 💭

It is about choosing to take care of yourself now, not waiting for symptoms to make the decision for you.

That can look like making the call you have been putting off, scheduling the appointment or finally checking something off your list.

Those small steps matter more than we think, and they add up to peace of mind over time.

Let’s stay informed and stay well together. Nuvance Health, now part of Northwell Health, encourages you to prioritize preventive care and take that next step. 💙

For most of his life, Phillip Brackett took pride in staying active. But over time, chronic back pain from degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis made everyday activities like sitting, standing and walking difficult.

Routine pre-surgical testing before spine surgery revealed something unexpected: coronary artery disease. Phillip was surprised because he had no symptoms or risk factors.

His care team created a plan so he could safely have spine surgery first, followed by cardiac surgery to restore blood flow to his heart.

He underwent TOPS mobility-preserving spine surgery with neurosurgeon Dr. Joshua Marcus at Norwalk Hospital, as well as a quadruple coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure with cardiac surgeon Dr. Richard Kaplon at Danbury Hospital — both performed using the latest techniques by leaders in their respective fields.

Today, Phillip feels strong and grateful and is traveling, walking long distances and doing the things he loves again. 🚶✨

His story is a reminder that routine checkups and well-coordinated care between specialists can make all the difference in helping people get back to living well! 💙
