The holiday season can be a wonderful time, but it can also bring some of the most stressful times. Dr. Raviv Berlin, Stamford Health's chair of psychiatry, spoke to the radio show Melissa in the Morning about how you can take care of your mental health this time of year. Listen here:

It's dubbed "the most wonderful time of the year" but is it actually the most stressful? The holiday season may bring out the sadness in some and the mental health challenges in others. How do we detect if we or loved ones are struggling this holiday? And what can we do to bet...

It’s the tail end of the year, and all Stamford Health employees have wrapped up their performance reviews… including our fur-tastic facility therapy dog, Harrison! 🐾

To no one’s surprise, he absolutely crushed his pupformance goals and earned some well-deserved bonus belly rubs for demonstrating pawsitive vibes and fur-midable culture every single day. (Too many pup puns? Let us know in the comments)

Harrison is truly the ultimate teammate — always ready to lend a paw and fetch smiles (or tennis balls!) wherever he goes! 🐶💙

Special thanks to Big Leaps, LLC and to all the wonderful families who donated toys to David's Treasure Chest at our hospital! In case you didn't know, David's Treasure Chest is a toy closet for our pediatric patients at Stamford Health. We're so grateful for these donations and can't wait to see the smiles on the kids' faces!

Special shoutout to the Stamford High School Boys Soccer team for their donation to Stamford Hospital and the Bennett Cancer Center. Every year, they make an annual donation to our hospital and this year, they donated $1,650. Every donation makes a huge difference for our patients and we're so thankful for their support!

Now & then! This group of friends and alumni of Stamford Health’s former nursing school gather every year for an annual holiday lunch. Some are still working at Stamford Hospital, while some have retired. Yet, what remains is their friendship and appreciation for the school that brought them together and shaped generations of nurses. Happy holidays, classes of 1967 & 1968, and thanks for sharing your tradition with us!

Caring for our tiniest patients is such an important job that's why we wanted to spotlight Rosalie Armatis, one of our amazing NICU nurses. Here, we follow Rosie throughout the day as she collaborates with respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, and her fellow nurses to care for our NICU babies.

"(To be a NICU nurse) you have to have the skills of a nurse: critical thinking, time management, communication, collaboration, teamwork, all those things. But I think one of the biggest thing is you have to be a really loving person." ❤️

The holidays aren’t easy for every family, but that’s where community steps in. 💙 We’re so thankful for our amazing Community Connections Committee, who never stop finding ways to make a difference.

This season, they teamed up with DVCC to “adopt” 26 families and fulfill their holiday wish lists. And when even more requests came in, they went above and beyond by collecting essential items for DVCC to support survivors of domestic violence and their families.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this toy drive. Together, we made the season brighter for so many. ✨
