Hispanic Heritage Month kicks off today! Join us as we celebrate Hispanic, Latino, Latina, and Latinx communities, as well as their deep ties, and immense contributions, to the country. That undoubtedly includes here at MJHS, where many of our patients, residents, members, and of course staff, trace their roots to Mexico, the Caribbean, Spain, and Central and South America. Wonder why Hispanic Heritage Month is starting on September 15, mid-way through the month? It’s to mark the independence days of some Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.

We went out to the ballgame one week ago to root, root, root for the Brooklyn Cyclones; honor our colleagues who care for, support and guide our patients, residents and family caregivers affected by Alzheimer’s; remember those who’ve been lost to the disease; and celebrate our second year as Presenting Sponsor of the Alzheimer's Association, New York City Chapter Walk to End Alzheimer’s! Did you hear the roar of the crowd when our very own Robert Homan, VP of MJHS Building Services, took to the mound and threw a perfect ceremonial first pitch?!? ⚾️Relive some of the magic through this post and we’ll see you on #walkday, Oct. 27! #flashback #FlashbackFriday #mjhssummer #AlzheimersAwareness #memorycare #alzheimerscare #baseball #brooklyn #BrooklynCyclones #HomeTeam

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed today and can’t figure out why? Remember it’s #Fridaythe13th, which is considered an unlucky day by many 😱 Instead of spending the day in fear, lean into it by enjoying a playlist curated by MJHS music therapists Kendra Ray, PhD, who is the dementia program director at MJHS Menorah Center, and Peter Galub, from our hospice and palliative care program! Have a song to add that would fit perfectly? COMMENT with a link. #musicrx #musictherapy

23 years after the September 11 attacks in NYC and other parts of the U.S., we continue to mourn every life lost and remember the countless others affected by the tragedy. Horrific anniversaries, like for 9/11, can reawaken grief in unexpected ways. READ this Everyday Health article by Christina Vogt, a grief psychologist, for coping mechanisms, and helpful reminders, anyone can use ➡️ https://bit.ly/3EozoCq #september11 #memorial #neverforget #patriotday

There are often no words to fully describe what it’s like to learn a child has been diagnosed with cancer. Whether the child is a baby or older teen, it’s hard to stop worrying or ‘what if-ing’ about everything. A combination of medical, emotional, psychological and spiritual support, along with being around people with a calming presence, can be helpful. To all the family units, clinicians and researchers, we offer encouragement and the shared dream of a cancer-free future. #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth
