When women reach their 40s, they undergo more testing, such as getting a mammogram and screening for colorectal cancer and cardiovascular disease. No matter your age, being proactive about your health is crucial. Lydia Pace, MD, MPH, a specialist in women's health at Mass General Brigham, shares more in this interview with WCVB.
About us
Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) is an international leader in virtually every area of medicine and has been the site of pioneering breakthroughs that have improved lives around the world. A major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, BWH has a legacy of excellence that continues to grow. With two outstanding hospitals, over 150 outpatient practices, and over 1,200 physicians, we serve patients from New England, throughout the United States, and from 120 countries around the world. The BWH name is a reflection of our history. In 1980 three of Boston’s oldest and most prestigious Harvard Medical School teaching hospitals - the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital, and the Boston Hospital for Women – merged to form Brigham and Women’s Hospital. As a national leader in improving health care quality and safety, we have helped to develop some of the industry’s best practices including computerized physician order entry (CPOE) to prevent medication errors. The CPOE is now a nationally-accepted safety practice. The BWH Biomedical Research Institute (BRI) is one of the most powerful biomedical research institutes in the world and the second largest recipient of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding among independent hospitals in the United States. BWH has long had great success in research as measured by the number of important discoveries made, the size and scope of its research portfolio and the volume of publications annually. BWH is a training ground for physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals. We have 1,100 trainees in over 140 of the most sought after training programs in the world, and also host Harvard Medical School students in rotations throughout our programs. As our global health services expand, our clinical trainees have rich opportunities to contribute and learn in challenging environments around the world. Brigham and Women's Hospital is an EEO, AA, VEVRAA Employer.

This Mother’s Day feels especially meaningful for the Burns family. Last year, Kelly Burns experienced a high-risk pregnancy complicated by placental insufficiency, preeclampsia, and an early delivery at 27 weeks and 5 days. When Blake arrived, she weighed just 1 pound — her first diaper was so tiny it could fit on an Elf on the Shelf — and spent 132 days in the Brigham NICU growing stronger each day. During her stay, Blake became part of many of our holiday photoshoots, and now we’re honored to share those special memories alongside new photos of her thriving at 7 months, home with her mom, Kelly, dad, Scott, and older brother, Jack. Through every milestone, Kelly and her family were supported by a compassionate care team that celebrated each step alongside them. We wish Kelly and her family a very happy Mother’s Day!

This Maternal Mental Health Month, several of our Mass General Brigham experts joined WCVB Channel 5 to discuss experiences that impact mothers. In this segment, JoAnn Manson, MD, Chief of the Division of Preventive Medicine at Mass General Brigham talks about the importance of nutrition for postpartum moms. "A mom can be totally exhausted after the delivery and after the long pregnancy," Dr. Manson said. "This is really a time for recovery, trying to rebuild strength. There's been some bone loss with the pregnancy. You want to be sure that you're getting enough of the nutrients to rebuild your strength."
