Bassett Resident Physicians and Hartwick Nursing Students Build Teamwork with First Joint Simulation Lab
Cooperstown, N.Y. – Bassett Healthcare Network, in conjunction with Hartwick College, announced today that the two institutions are launching joint simulation labs for first-year Bassett residents and nursing students. This is the first time Bassett residents are partnering with Hartwick nursing students in simulation labs.
23 first-year resident physicians from Bassett Medical Center Graduate Medical Education (GME) Programs (Internal Medicine, General Surgery and Transitional Year) will work together with summer nursing students from Hartwick, St. Elizabeth's College of Nursing, SUNY Morrisville, and SUNY Delhi.
The group will participate in hands-on training, observation and debriefing as they rotate through three clinical simulations: Transitions of Care/Safe Effective Handoff, Emergent Situations, and Patient/Family Communication. The Clark Nursing Simulation Lab at Hartwick College will be the site of the exercise.
“Teamwork is the essential foundation for the best patient care. These collaborative simulation labs for a new generation of doctors and nurses build team thinking and hone their practice,” said Dr. Tommy Ibrahim, President & CEO of Bassett Healthcare Network. “We extend our thanks to the professionals who built this exceptional program and enthusiastically support the participation of the nursing students and our residents.”
"We are very excited to be partnering with Bassett in this interdisciplinary simulation event,” said Patricia Grust, PhD, RN, CLNC, Chair and Clinical Associate Professor, Nursing Department, Hartwick College. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to integrate the perspectives of medicine and nursing in a variety of realistic and challenging scenarios that support an optimal healthcare experience and outcomes for the individual, family, and members of the healthcare team."
“We embarked on this alliance with Hartwick College because simulation is a valuable tool for training nurses and physicians in a variety of settings,” said Jill Stoecklin, Bassett’s Administrative Director of Medical Education & the Medical School. “For simulations to be most effective, it is important for nurses and physicians to create a collaborative partnership. By doing so, we all learn from each other’s experiences and perspectives to provide optimal patient care.”
“Bassett and Hartwick working together not only furthers the education of resident physicians and student nurses – it also has a positive impact on the communities we serve by ensuring the continuation of the highest level of patient care that Bassett is known for,” said Angela Belmont, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, Senior Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive at Bassett Healthcare Network.
Bassett and Hartwick professionals worked together to plan and implement the event and will be participating in the simulations as facilitators. They are:
Hartwick College:
Dr. Patricia Grust – Clinical Associate Professor and Department Chair, Nursing
Erica Holoquist, RN – Nursing Laboratory Coordinator
John Janitz, RN - Nursing Lab Instructional Specialist
Bassett Medical Center:
Dr. Russell Moore – Senior Attending Physician, Internal Medicine Residency Program Director
Dr. Erik Riesenfeld – Senior Attending Physician, Transitional Year Residency Program Director
Dr. Joon Shim – Senior Attending Physician, General Surgery Residency Program Director
Tareq Issa, RN – Nurse Educator, Active Learning Center
Nancy Morris, RN – Simulation Lab Clinical Educator, Active Learning Center
Jill Stoecklin – Administrative Director, Medical Education & Medical School
Bassett and Hartwick’s simulation lab collaboration comes on the heels of their recently announced joint endeavor to provide Bassett employees with substantial tuition discounts when they pursue degrees in nursing and nursing education at Hartwick College. Both programs reflect a shared priority to increase the number of registered nurses and healthcare professionals practicing in Bassett’s rural service area.

Air Quality Hinders Mountain Biking, But Not Camaraderie at ASF's Latest WIM Event
Due to the poor air quality the Canadian wildfires brought to the Catskills, the Adaptive Sports Foundation’s (ASF) Warriors in Motion (WIM) mountain biking program featured less biking as much as originally planned. Instead, the three-day event featured yoga, games and stress reduction techniques.
Five U.S. military veterans met with ASF staff and volunteers at noon this past Tuesday at the Gwen Allard Adaptive Sports Center to share a lunch together and to get fitted for their bikes and equipment. Program manager Tony Vasile gave a quick tutorial on how to safely operate a mountain bike before he led the WIM group onto the ASF shuttle bus and headed out to Elm Ridge in East Windham. The group ventured into the woods and rode on Elm Ridge’s Warm-Up Loop for its only ride of the week. After they finished, the veterans left to check into their hotels before returning to the ASF lodge for dinner.
Wednesday’s Air Quality Index (AQI) was above 170, and an AQI of above 150 is deemed to be unhealthy. The ASF decided that it would be best not to mountain bike and exercise outdoors that day. Instead, the warriors and volunteers began their day going out to breakfast together at the Windham Diner. After a good meal to start the morning, the group then ventured to Mountain Breeze Yoga to stretch their bodies and clear their minds with a yoga session and sound therapy. The veterans then returned to the ASF Lodge to play some cards and to compete in a friendly cornhole competition before having dinner at 5 p.m.
Unfortunately, Thursday’s AQI was close to 200, causing the veterans and volunteers to remain inside again in the ASF lodge. Vasile led a yoga session and a meditation session in the morning before the warriors ate lunch and departed.
“I enjoy myself every time I visit ASF. The biggest thing that happened this week specifically was that we were able to put our mind to the muscle, and not the other way around,” warrior Erik Morales-Goroshko said. “Usually we muscle through an activity, but doing yoga and meditation this week was really good for my mental health.”
The ASF’s Warriors in Motion program provides participating injured United States servicemen and women with a basic knowledge and practice of wellness and the importance of lifelong healthy living. Each event includes adaptive sports and nutrition instruction, as well as other healthful practices such as yoga and stress reduction techniques. ASF views the time that veterans spend together as an essential part of their healing, so the foundation makes sure that there are periods of downtime that the participants can use to connect with each other. All WIM programs are goal-oriented and empower the warrior to take charge of their own fitness and wellness.
The ASF’s next WIM event will take a small group of veterans into the woods for a backpacking/camping trip, and it will take place on June 20-22. This will be the first fully outdoors trip the ASF has hosted since the summer of 2021. Thanks to generous donations given to the organization, the Adaptive Sports Foundation will be able to provide backpacks, camping supplies, water bottles, all meals, snacks, water, sports drinks, sunscreen, bug spray, ponchos (if necessary) and trail maps for the upcoming event.
If you’d like to donate to the Adaptive Sports Foundation’s Warriors in Motion program, or any of the other programs the ASF has to offer, visit www.adaptivesportsfoundation.
Hartwick College Names Bryan Gross as New Vice President for Enrollment Management
Hartwick President Darren Reisberg has named Bryan Gross as the College’s new vice president for enrollment management, effective June 21.
In his new position, Gross will lead innovative strategies to enhance the quality and diversity of the College’s enrollment management and financial aid optimization plans. One of his primary responsibilities will be to develop partnerships locally, nationally and internationally that strengthen the College’s position in the market and lead to positive college-going rates and enrollment outcomes.
“Throughout his career, Bryan has demonstrated that he has the knowledge, skills, creativity and attitude to drive enrollment success,” said President Darren Reisberg. “His experience will serve Hartwick extremely well as we navigate the opportunities and challenges of the increasingly complex enrollment landscape.”
Gross most recently served as vice president of revenue planning and institutional positioning at 3 Enrollment Marketing, Inc., an enrollment and retention solutions and services provider.
Prior to his role at 3E, Gross served as vice president for enrollment management and marketing, and as interim vice president of student affairs at Western New England University in Springfield, MA. Before that, he was the associate vice president of enrollment management at St. John’s University in Queens, NY. and associate vice president of admissions, dean of admissions, and director of international admissions at the University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, CT.
“Beyond the breathtaking beauty of the campus, what attracted me to Hartwick was the bold leadership of President Reisberg,” said Gross. “He and his leadership team understand what is needed to succeed in today’s competitive enrollment landscape, and I have no doubt that by working together, we will do just that. I am especially inspired by the HartLand Promise, which will allow even more deserving students to afford a Hartwick education.”
A national and international thought leader, Gross is a regular presenter, contributor and researcher to articles and workshops on enrollment management, leadership and collaboration, student belonging, international student mobility, and financial aid. He has been a co-principal investigator for National Science Foundation grants and has served as an executive board member and treasurer of the American International Recruitment Council.
Gross earned a doctorate in organizational change and leadership from the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California. His dissertation examined how collaboration among senior higher education leaders can facilitate positive revenue generation at regional and private institutions. Gross also holds a master’s degree from Springfield College and a bachelor’s degree from The Pennsylvania State University.

Written By Editor on 6/7/23 | 6/7/23
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Adaptive Sports Foundation (ASF) is once again partnering with Big SNOW American Dream to host adaptive ski and snowboard lessons this summer in the indoor ski resort in the American Dream Mall.
Big SNOW American Dream is North America’s first indoor, real-snow ski and snowboard center that provides snow sport enthusiasts a chance to participate in winter activities all year round. The ASF has been hosting indoor lessons at Big SNOW since 2021. This year’s lessons will take place every second Tuesday and Wednesday of each month from June-September. Each day will have two two-hour lesson slots: one from 4-6 p.m. and another from 6-8 p.m.
“Big SNOW American Dream creates an opportunity for our students to get on the snow in the offseason and continue to hone their skills. As the saying goes, ‘the better you get, the better it gets’ and Big SNOW gives our students a chance to continue their growth,” ASF Executive Director John Iannelli explained. “Also, what better place to introduce snow sports to new people? The proximity to the Tri-State area, they have all the rental equipment a new skier could possibly need as well as our adaptive equipment, and parents can watch their child’s lesson from inside. It’s the perfect place to learn how to ski and snowboard in the summer months.”
The Adaptive Sports Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides profound and life-changing experiences for children and adults with physical disabilities, cognitive disabilities and chronic illnesses through outdoor physical activity, education, support and community.

Franklin Stage Company Opens Twenty-Seventh Season With Comedy, Good People
FRANKLIN — Franklin Stage Company, Delaware County’s admission-free, professional theater, will present David Lindsay-Abaire’s award-winning comedy Good People, June 30–July 16 at Chapel Hall, in Franklin, NY.
Good People, a play for 6 actors, tells the story of Margaret Walsh, a down-on-her-luck single mother from South Boston. As the play opens, Margaret is being fired from her dollar store job because she can’t find a babysitter for her disabled daughter. When she runs into an old boyfriend, Mike, who has become a wealthy doctor, she thinks she may have found the solution to all the trouble she’s in. “We’re thrilled to bring this tough and tender comedy to our stage” said FSC Artistic Director Patricia Buckley. “It’s a beautiful and funny play, and speaks to the times we’re living in.” Written in 2011, Good People is one of Lindsay-Abaire’s most popular plays. The playwright’s current Broadway production, Kimberly Akimbo, was nominated for 8 Tony Awards during the 2022-2023 season.
Good People has been called a love letter to the playwright’s origins in South Boston, or “Southie” as it is known, and to working class people, often left behind as they search for the American Dream. Chris O’Connor, who directed FSC’s 2022 production of Two Gentlemen of Verona, will helm the project. “I’m excited to stage this rich comedy with an incredibly talented cast,” said O’Connor. “It’s a funny, poignant, character-driven play, and makes for great summer theater. We’re so lucky to have the Franklin Stage Company bringing wonderful plays like this to Delaware County.”
The Franklin Stage Company season runs through August 20 at Chapel Hall, 25 Institute Street in Franklin, NY. Please note all evening shows have a curtain time of 7:30 pm. Good People will also have Saturday matinees at 3:00 pm, and Sunday shows at 5:00 pm. General Seating. Admission is free—suggested donation is $25 per person. FSC will not require masks, but will provide them for anyone who prefers to mask. Any updates to FSC Covid policy can be found on their website.
For more information and reservations, visit www.franklinstagecompany.org. Programming at the Franklin Stage Company is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.
