Montefiore Nyack Hospital

May is Stroke Awareness Month and members of our team met with staff and visitors to share critical information about the signs and symptoms of a stroke and when to call for help. As a NYS Dept. of Health designated Primary Stroke Center, we thank Rockland County Executive Ed Day for proclaiming May as Stroke Awareness Month in the county. #strokeawareness #BEFAST

Congratulations to the Ambulatory Surgery team on receiving a 100% top box score on their Press Ganey OASCAHPS survey in the first quarter. Of the 196 survey responses received, the team received 100% for “staff treats with courtesy and respect.” This ranking places them at the 99th percentile nationally for their 196 survey responses. We recognize their commitment to providing exceptional patient care!

We proudly recognize Montefiore Nyack's MICU Registered Nurse Hope Goswick for delivering life-saving emergency care at the annual Pearl River St Patrick's Day Parade.  Hope jumped into action when she witnessed a member of the community experience a sudden cardiac arrest. She began CPR and continued until the EMS crews assigned to the parade detail arrived. The patient's pulse returned shortly after leaving the scene and they were conscious and alert upon arrival at the hospital. The quick action of Hope and her initiation of early CPR, combined with the teamwork of multiple on-site EMS crews, directly resulted in the saving of a life. #CPRsaveslives

Last night Dr. Maria Emerson, Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Montefiore Nyack Hospital and board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist with Highland Medical OBS-GYN attended the 100 Hispanic Women’s Scholarship Dinner Dance. We were proud to have Dr. Emerson be a guest speaker for this event. 

Today we celebrate and honor all women for their contributions to our world and for the many ways they make a difference in our lives.
