Mornings before school can be tough, especially at the start of the school year as kids adjust to changes in their sleep schedule. Donna Whalen, FNP-C, with Lovelace Medical Group has some tips if your kids are having trouble with healthy sleep habits after summer break: “It is so important to have basic routines for our children, including set bed and wake-up times, limiting electronics near bedtime, and eliminating naps after school.”

Lovelace Medical Group general surgeons don’t just care for patients in the hospital or clinic, they also invest in the long-term health of our community by mentoring New Mexico’s next generation of physicians.

Safe Haven is a law aimed to protect babies younger than 90 days old. An individual may drop off an infant at a Safe Haven location, which includes hospitals, police stations and fire stations. The person surrendering the baby may disclose the biological father or mother’s name, date of birth, and any pertinent medical health information and if there is any tribal affiliation, but is not required to.

Each Lovelace hospital has a bright yellow Safe Haven Sign on the exterior of our hospitals to signify our hospitals are a Safe Haven location. 

March is National Nutrition Month, and Lovelace Medical Group hospitalist Dr. Harkesh Arora has tips for you and your family on how to live a healthy life all year long!
