Postpartum depression is a serious and often invisible mental health condition, affecting nearly 1 in 5 new mothers. Early screening, compassionate care, and accessible treatment can save lives and improve outcomes for both parents and babies. @EinsteinMed bit.ly/4fMhGd1

Of all the reasons I’m grateful to work at @MontefioreNYC & @EinsteinMed are the people 👏
A cashier at a Bronx hospital has been lifting up the spirits of her colleagues and patients for 25 years, serving kindness with an infectious smile. She has helped homeless women through her project “The Grateful 8,” even after her son’s murder. 4.nbcny.com/57YNt1V
