A super sweet treat! Our tiniest patients are celebrating their first Halloween in the Special Care Nursery.

Should you disinfect your candy? Are Halloween masks good enough? Our colleagues at MassGeneral Hospital for Children share safe ways to celebrate Halloween. "This is a year to be creative about how to give kids new traditions to enjoy," Dr. Nelson says. "You don't have to sacrifice the holiday, you just may need to change it a little bit."

October has been designated Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and provides us with the opportunity to focus on risk reduction, screening, and education about steps women can take to lower their risk for breast cancer. We encourage you to "BE AWARE"! This blog has been submitted by Amy Comander, MD, Director of Breast Oncology and Survivorship, Mass General Cancer Center at Newton Wellesley and Waltham. https://www.nwh.org//breast-cancer-awareness-month-be-aware

Know the facts for #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. Remind your sister, mother, grandmother, wife, friends, and other important women in your life to get their annual mammogram.

Have you received your flu shot yet? Don't delay! Getting your flu shot helps keep you, your family and community healthy this season.

We raised $149,000 and counting! Thank you to our patients, sponsors, community members, and four-legged furry friends for raising funds for our first ever Virtual Hope Walks! While we couldn’t walk together side-by-side this year, we certainly felt the love and support for our Mass General Cancer Center at Newton-Wellesley.

Virtual Hope Walks is HERE! While we won’t be walking side-by-side this year, we will still be walking together to benefit the Mass General Cancer Center at Newton-Wellesley. Lily and her team "Lily Conquers Cancer", will walk in memory of her grandmother, Carole. Join Hope Walks and walk virtually with Lily and her family today.

Virtual Hope Walks is finally here! Celebrate with us and hear from President of Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Dr. Errol Norwitz, the Medical Director of the Mass General Cancer Center at Newton-Wellesley, Dr. Larry Blaszkowsky, and grateful patient, Suzanne Becker. #NWHHopeWalks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2ve2oOPCs4

Today marks the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you are due for a mammogram, please do not delay your care. Breast cancer doesn't wait, and neither should you.
