🚨 Flu cases are surging, and Influenza A (H3N2) is hitting harder this season. Symptoms can come on fast and feel more intense, but early care can make a difference.

If flu symptoms begin, reaching out to your primary care provider early is key. Antiviral medications may be recommended and are most effective when started within the first 48 hours. Your provider can help guide next steps and monitor symptoms based on your health history.

If symptoms worsen or you’re unable to reach your primary care provider, visiting urgent care can help ensure timely evaluation and treatment.

The ER should be used for severe symptoms such as a fever of 103°F or higher that doesn’t respond to medication, trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion or signs of dehydration.

Knowing when and where to seek care matters. Staying informed helps protect your family and your community this flu season. Scroll to learn what to more of watch for and when to seek care. 💙

Not all sniffles are created equal. 🤧

We broke down four of the most common over-the-counter cold and flu medications to help you find the right fit for your symptoms.

Here’s what we compared:
✅ Which symptoms they relieve best
✅ Active ingredients
✅ What each medication is best for

If you’re dealing with flu, COVID-19 or another winter illness, choosing the right level of care matters.

🤒 Urgent care = moderate symptoms like fever, cough, congestion or body aches
🚨 ER = severe symptoms like trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion or dehydration

As always, talk with your primary care provider about your sick-season plan and choosing the right medication for your symptoms. Stay safe this sick season!

A little holiday magic made its way to Sharon Hospital this week! ❤️

The little ones attending our regular Moms’ Group were surprised with a special visit from Mrs. Claus, straight from the North Pole. 🎅🏼✨

Smiles were shared, tiny hands opened special gifts and a few sweet treats helped make the season feel extra joyful. Moments like these remind us that community, connection and a little bit of cheer go a long way—especially for our youngest visitors and their families.

🎵❤️ Your holiday playlist is doing MORE than just setting the mood.

Studies show that music can influence your heart rate and blood pressure. But holiday music? It's like a warm hug for your entire well-being.

Those familiar seasonal songs aren't just nostalgic, they're therapeutic. They lower stress hormones, calm your nervous system and ground you emotionally during a busy season.

Whether you're playing Christmas carols, Hanukkah hymns, Kwanzaa songs or whatever celebrations matter to YOU, the science is clear: your heart responds to the rhythms that bring YOU joy. 🎄✡️🕯️

We continue to celebrate a leader whose vision has shaped the story of healthcare in our region for nearly forty years: Dr. John M. Murphy has guided our hospitals through transformation, challenges and growth. His actions have always anchored by one belief: that every community deserves exceptional care. 💙

From his early days as a neurologist, to the creation of Nuvance Health and merger with Northwell Health, Dr. Murphy has never lost sight of the people at the center of healthcare. His decisions have strengthened hospitals, supported caregivers and brought hope to families when they needed it most.

As he prepares for retirement this month, we are proud to honor his legacy with the John M. Murphy, MD Distinguished Chair of Research — ensuring his commitment to discovery, education and the future of care continues for generations to come. 🔬📚

Dr. Murphy’s leadership will continue to impact countless lives ahead!

The holidays come with traditions, treats and a little extra indulgence — and that’s OK. ✨🍽️

Nurse Practitioner Erica Seebeck shares a reminder we all need to hear this time of year: health and wellness aren’t defined by a few meals, a few days or a single season. They’re built over time, through balance, consistency and grace for yourself.

Food is meant to be enjoyed. Movement is meant to support you. Rest is part of health, too. There’s no need to “make up for” the holidays or feel guilt around celebrating with the people you love.

This season, we invite you to zoom out. Enjoy the moments, savor the meals, listen to your body and remember that real wellness is what you practice year-round. ❤️
