Ignoring Symptoms Jeopardizes Body and Mind

Recognizing symptoms that can put your physical and mental health at risk is an important component of staying healthy.

Most people don’t know the signs of stroke. Yet calling 911 at the first sign of trouble increases your chances of receiving treatment to prevent brain damage. Learn more about new therapies in stroke care at our special lecture in May.

Ignoring the signs of an anxiety disorder can cause havoc. Only a third of the 18 percent of adults with an anxiety disorder get help. Take the first step toward wellness and make an appointment for a free screening on Anxiety Screening Day.

If chronic back pain has become a way of life, maybe it’s time to find out if spinal fusion can help. Our experienced neurosurgeons from The Spine Institute at Greenwich Hospital will discuss spine disease at two presentations in May and June.

People with chronic pain often have difficulty finding relief. That’s not the case at the Sackler Center for Pain Management, which offers personalized care. Learn about the new developments in pain management at our June lecture.

Ready for fun? Don’t miss the “Under the Stars” party in July to benefit pediatric and neonatal care services. I promise not to discuss symptoms!
