Diabetes and Depression
People with diabetes are more than twice as likely as others to have depression.
A study published by the National Institutes of Health found a variety of factors, including the physical impact of diabetes on immunology and endocrine pathways to the brain, plus the psychological and psychosocial impact of having diabetes.
It’s an important connection to watch, because depression is associated with poor disease control, poor health, and diminished quality of life.
Six Questions with Dr. Michelle Muench
First job? Waitressing, in high school. My parents own the bowling center in Northfield, and I grew up waitressing there.
Free time? I like to spend it with my husband and our kids. We like to golf and exercise together; we travel and hike. Our favorite hiking spots are Tettegouche and Gooseberry Falls state parks. Anywhere there’s water and rocks with three boys, it’s good.
NH&C reveals new logo
NH&C is getting a new look! We are happy to unveil our new logo, which will begin appearing on NH&C materials starting in November. It will serve as a cornerstone for our identification as we move forward. You’ll see it on everything from letterhead and forms to building signs and ads.
This new look gives us a consistent brand across all of our divisions. Every place people see our brand, they’ll begin to see the scale of our organization and how all our services tie together: One independent system with a shared sense of purpose.
