Blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, breath. These initial measurements—your vital signs—give your doctor a baseline understanding of your health. The opening lines to the story of you.
This concept is central to Vitals Magazine, the new home for all storytelling produced by Medical & Healthcare Advancement at Dartmouth. From cancer and infectious disease to mental health and access, humanity faces profound health challenges—and the paths toward solutions are being forged right here. With the launch of this platform, we have a new venue in which to share how Dartmouth researchers, clinicians, and innovators are working to answer medicine’s most pressing questions.
You can find Vitals Magazine in print and online. Although some stories featured on vitalsmagazine.dartmouth.edu were first published in our flagship print magazine or in one of our companion publications, many stories can only be found here.
We sincerely hope you enjoy reading Vitals Magazine as much as we enjoy producing it.
Thank you for joining us in this exciting new chapter.
