Kent, Conn.
—
Sharon Hospital Medical Practice’s Kent location will gain a second primary care provider – expanding access to healthcare in the community.
|
|
|
Family medicine specialist Dr. Catalina Niculae will join Dr. Suzanne M. Lefebvre at the 64 Maple St., office, starting Aug. 12.
“I chose to practice in a small community like Kent because I want to make an impact in the community where I work, live and plan to raise a family of my own,” she said.
Niculae treats patients with a variety of conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
She believes a patient-centered approach, which encompasses the body, mind, spirit, and emotions, is key to guiding patients towards better health and wellness.
“I love family medicine because that is what life is all about – the family,” she said.
Niculae completed her family medicine residency through New York Medical College at Saint Joseph’s Medical Center in Yonkers. She is from Romania and speaks Romanian, Spanish and French.
In her free time, she enjoys cooking traveling, spending time outdoors and fostering animals for local animal shelters.
To schedule an appointment with Niculae, call 860-927-1133 (TTY: 800-842-9710). Learn more at

The benefits of the Passbook Savings Account and why your child should have one
|
Are you reading this and wondering when the last time you didn't manage your bank account from a computer or your smartphone? If so, you may have never heard of a Passbook Savings Account. They aren't as popular as they once were, so don't worry if you have no clue what they are, but these retro accounts still have some great advantages, especially for children.

The Farewell
Cast:
Awkwafina, Tzi Ma, Zhao Shuzhen, Diana Lin, Yongbo Jiang
Writer/Director:
Lulu Wang
In this funny, uplifting tale based on an actual lie, Chinese-born, U.S.-raised Billi (Awkwafina) reluctantly returns to Changchun to find that, although the whole family knows their beloved matriarch, Nai-Nai, has been given mere weeks to live, everyone has decided not to tell Nai Nai herself. To assure her happiness, they gather under the joyful guise of an expedited wedding. As Billi navigates a minefield of family expectations and proprieties, she finds there’s a lot to celebrate: a chance to rediscover the country she left as a child, her grandmother’s wondrous spirit, and the ties that keep on binding even when so much goes unspoken.
