September is Recovery Month–an important time to increase awareness about addiction, share resources, and repeat an unequivocal truth: life-long recovery is possible for anyone. As we celebrate the millions of Americans who achieved recovery, let’s reaffirm our support for everyone struggling with addiction–no matter their circumstances. Although evidence-based treatments and recovery practices are available, many don’t know where to turn to when beginning their recovery process. Let’s offer life-changing support to someone today! #RecoveryMonth #Hope #Healing #Wellness

Reminder: Practice Fireworks Safety this Fourth of July!   As we approach the Fourth of July, let’s remember that celebrating with fireworks comes with responsibility. Fireworks are a popular and exciting part of Fourth of July and summer overall. While they are legal, they are also very dangerous. Thousands of people – mostly children and young adults – are injured each year from fireworks-related incidents. As you celebrate Independence Day and other summer festivities, Norwood Hospital wants to remind you to practice safety and caution when it comes to fireworks.
