“Senator Stewart-Cousins has long understood that health care institutions must restructure into more efficient structures to adapt to the dramatically changing environment, but, also, that they should do so in a manner that protects the health of the community as well as people’s jobs. Her leadership work in ensuring Dobbs Ferry Hospital’s survival, by merging it into St Johns, and refocusing its efforts on ambulatory care, are a great example of improving health care and maintaining jobs by proactively addressing change. This success was only made possible by a political leader, Senator Stewart-Cousins, working closely with health care professionals to better serve our community.”
– Jim Foy, Former President and CEO of St. John’s Riverside Hospital
