Welcome to this first issue of Milford Regional’s electronic newsletter. In this newsletter we will provide you with timely health information to keep you healthy and prevent illness or injury. In addition, we’ll tell you about the services available if you should need our care.

We welcome your feedback! Feel free to send us your comments or questions concerning health issues you would like us to address.

News Brief

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious yet preventable condition. DVT occurs when a thrombus (blood clot) forms in one of the large veins, usually in the legs, and partially or completely blocks blood flow. The clot could move into the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism (PE), which is life threatening. In fact, PE causes more deaths in the USA each year than AIDS and breast cancer combined! Deep vein thrombosis can be prevented, so learn about the risk factors and reduce your chances of developing a DVT. Read more.
