What if we could help prevent postpartum depression before a baby is even born? New URochester Research found that patients hospitalized for high-risk pregnancies who received mental health support before giving birth experienced fewer postpartum depression symptoms during the first six weeks after childbirth. ➡️ The findings point to an important opportunity: providing support during pregnancy could help protect mental health from the start. 💛 Read more about the research and what it could mean for maternal mental health care: urmed.info/ppdstudy

Featured on CNN, Strong Memorial Hospital teams are leading the way in innovative technology! Our teams were given a national spotlight to showcase how AI is helping doctors and nurses spot the warning signs of sepsis, an infection that leads to more than 350,000 deaths in the US each year, faster than ever before. The new sepsis detection system analyzes patient data in real time and alerts care teams to potential signs of this life-threatening medical emergency. We're proud of our amazing teams who advocate for life-saving technology like this and continue to advance the standards of care.

A look back at the 'birth' and history of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Strong Memorial as we celebrate the hospital's 100th anniversary in 1926. Over the last century, our care teams have been part of life’s biggest milestones, delivering generations of babies and advancing women’s health. We are proud of our OB-GYN team, who continue this legacy of care with a growing range of services and research for patients throughout the region.

Our nurses spend decades at Strong! What means the most to them? Making a difference in people's lives. These nurse alumni loved being able to help patients and their families when they needed it most, and now they've passed the torch to the next generation of dedicated nurses! 💙 https://urmed.info/nurses

A celebration of an incredible milestone. We are incredibly grateful and appreciative of the many amazing team members that make up our heart transplant care. You've helped give the #GiftofLife to 400 community members and counting. Thank you for all you do for your patients and their families.

A new program is giving nurses the opportunity to care for patients in a whole new way. Our Hospital at Home initiative combines advanced clinical care with meaningful one-to-one patient care outside the traditional inpatient setting. If you're curious about what nursing looks like beyond the hospital walls, hear directly from Luvon Sheppard, a patient who received hospital-level care at home rather than remaining in the hospital. Learn how the experience and the care team set him at ease and enhanced his recovery. Learn More: https://lnkd.in/edKvcdx7

New sign, who's this!? Signage is officially up at our new Emergency Department! Another 'sign' that we're getting closer to opening our new emergency department in 2027. #StrongExpansion

PMOS affects more than reproductive health...Your heart may be at risk, too. ❤️ New findings: Women with PMOS are four times more likely to experience atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events, including heart attacks and strokes, than women without the condition. This URochester research reinforces why PMOS needs to be understood as more than an ovarian condition. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ee6gN6qC

10,000 people trained. Countless lives impacted! ❤️ 👏 We recently celebrated a major milestone: 10K people have now learned hands-only CPR at Buffalo Bills Training Camp! Our 10,000th trainee, Kim Alfieri, knows first-hand that CPR can save a life. Years ago, while teaching, a student collapsed in her classroom. Because she had learned CPR, Kim was able to step in and help save the child's life. Inspired by her daughter, who is pursuing a career in healthcare, Kim decided it was time for a hands-only CPR refresher. Her story is a reminder that CPR is a skill everyone should know. Hands-only CPR can double a person's chance of surviving cardiac arrest when it's started before first responders arrive. It only takes a few minutes to learn, but those minutes could one day save a life. 💪
