Every month, UHS receives feedback from Stay Healthy readers. Many of these loyal fans tell us how much they’ve learned about health and wellness in the pages of the magazine. We are very grateful for their comments and grateful, too, that we have such a large and loyal readership across the Southern Tier.
That’s because Stay Healthy is one of the important ways we keep in touch with you, our patients and our communities. Like our website, nyuhs.org, this publication gives us the opportunity to keep you informed about the latest enhancements in care and services offered by UHS.
Take just a few of the stories in this issue, for example: Here you will find an update on the UHS Wilson Project, which will feature a new Emergency Department, helipad and 120 private patient rooms in the six-story Wilson Main Tower. We also highlight our expanded Neurosurgery team, with four outstanding physicians bringing a new level of expertise in neurosciences to our hospitals. You will learn how our nurse navigators guide cancer patients through the challenges of their disease, plus how we’re improving access to care through volunteers driving people to their cancer treatment appointments.
We are very proud of the wide array of services we offer to the Southern Tier and of the exceptional care provided by our team of dedicated healthcare professionals—including those featured in this and upcoming issues of Stay Healthy. As always, we’re committed to keeping you well-informed about new developments at UHS that can have a positive effect on your well-being today and in the future.
Thank you for your continued interest. Good reading!
John M. Carrigg
President and CEO of UHS
