Is #masking to prevent the spread of #COVID19 safe for kids? Absolutely, @chadkids pediatric pulmonologist Brian Sullivan, MD, told the @UnionLeader: "There is no doubt our children will be safer if wearing masks indoors at school." https://t.co/Aw3PS8TUJN

#BreastCancer treatment is exhausting & can lead to less exercise & weight gain—which can be dangerous for breast cancer survivors. @CancerDartmouth has 20-30 #ClinicalTrials underway studying the benefits of exercise & weight loss for survivors. https://t.co/Jf0SneK6pV

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on health care systems and staff nationwide as it hospitalizes unvaccinated individuals almost exclusively. Some have lingering concerns about the vaccine, yet data proves it is both effective and safe. https://t.co/rSrbr3Tq07

In the field of #immunotherapy, little is known about immunity to metastatic tumors in locations such as lymph nodes, but researchers at @CancerDartmouth have spent the past year studying just this. https://t.co/tJzaaY1dCi

Thanks to strategies followed by many NH & VT school districts last year, in-person learning was successful despite #COVID19. School districts in both states have returned to in-person instruction for this school year, & @chadkids supports this decision. https://t.co/wWty2b2Ruw

Many seniors experience symptoms of #depression and #dementia. These symptoms often overlap, and many assume they're just a normal part of getting older -- but it's not, says Bernie Seifert, LICSW, of the @DartmouthHitch Aging Resource Center. https://t.co/FPQPTderHv

.@CDCgov says many Americans will soon be eligible for #COVID19 #BoosterShots. Immunocompromised people are eligible for a third dose now. But what's the difference? @DartmouthHitch Chief Quality Officer @CalderwoodMD explains in @ConMonitorNews. https://t.co/7nQyKvkkBC

[Cheshire Medical Center, Dartmouth Health @CheshireMed]

Check the facts on misleading social media hype. The vast majority of #COVID19 cases, hospitalizations, & deaths in #NH since vaccines became available have been among the unvaccinated. Getting vaccinated is the safest path forward. https://t.co/tPn7jnnJMH
