FIGHTING TIGER BASEBALL DOWNS HOST UTICA COLLEGE PIONEERS 10-6

Written By Editor on 4/6/22 | 4/6/22

The SUNY Cobleskill men’s baseball team continued their extended road swing on Wednesday afternoon traveling to Utica College for a solo non-league contest that saw the Fighting Tigers feast on Pioneer pitch to post a 10-6 victory. With the win Cobleskill improves to 8-11 overall while the host Pioneers drop to 10-7 overall on the campaign.  

The Fighting Tiger offensive assault was led by senior right fielder Samuel Gutierrez, Bayside, N.Y., Martin Van Buren High School/Queensborough Community College, who was a one-man wrecking crew going 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, a walk, a run scored and six RBI on the afternoon. 

The Orange & Black also received strong offensive contributions from senior second baseman Christopher Kordziel, Rotterdam, N.Y., Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons High School/Hudson Valley Community College, who went 2-for-4 with a stolen base, a run scored and an RBI and from sophomore third baseman David Flora, Windsor, N.Y., Windsor High School/Herkimer Community College, who went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, a stolen base and an RBI. 

Senior southpaw Ethan Straub, Oswego, N.Y., Hannibal High School/Jefferson Community College, put the offensive support to go use going six innings allowing only one earned run on four hits striking out five and walking one to even his record to 2-2 overall on the year.  

Cobleskill will next be in action over the weekend when they open their 2022 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) on the road traveling to Marcy, N.Y. on Friday April 8 for a solo contest with the Wildcats of the SUNY Polytechnic Institute beginning at 3:30 p.m. followed a return trip to Marcy, N.Y. on Saturday April 9 for a conference doubleheader with the Wildcats starting at 12:00 p.m.

WMCHealth Appoints Pair to Senior Leadership Positions

Matilde Roman Joins as Senior Vice President, Chief Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Officer; John Brand Now Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications

 

VALHALLA, N.Y. (April 5, 2022) – The Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), has appointed Matilde Roman as Senior Vice President, Chief Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Officer and John Brand as Senior Vice President for Marketing and Communications.

 

Roman brings extensive public policy, legislative and leadership experience to her new position at WMCHealth. The Network’s mission is to provide the highest quality care for all and in her new role, Roman will develop strategic plans that ensure “patient-first” service alignment across all Network hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and provider practices with a goal of further increasing WMCHealth’s capacity to meet the needs of the Network’s diverse patient and caregiver population. Within the Network itself, Roman will champion a work culture that encourages individual expression and idea-sharing in order to provide the best care to patients.

 

A graduate of New York Law School, Roman has devoted her career to developing policies and programs that support underserved communities that both improve meaningful access to important services and drive positive social change at an institutional, structural and individual level.

Prior to joining WMCHealth, Roman was employed by NYC Health + Hospitals as Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer.  Roman also served as Deputy Commissioner and General Counsel to the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs.


Brand joins WMCHealth after a successful stint in Philadelphia at Jefferson University/Jefferson Health, where he was Vice President and Chief Communications Officer.  There, Brand led communication to an internal workforce of more than 40,000 as well as a community of millions in one of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. He arrives at WMCHealth with more than two decades of experience developing multifaceted healthcare marketing plans that include tactics for workforce engagement, press interaction, social media and web strategies as well as customer relations management.

 

Earlier in his career, Brand was a journalist before moving into healthcare marketing with ascending roles at Newton (NJ) Memorial Hospital, St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital in New York, Barnabas Health in New Jersey, and St. Luke’s University Health Network in Pennsylvania, where he was Senior Director for Marketing and Public Relations.

The Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) debuted this week a new cardiovascular program that aims to stop preventable coronary death and disease in its tracks

Written By Editor on 4/4/22 | 4/4/22

The Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) debuted this week a new cardiovascular program that aims to stop preventable coronary death and disease in its tracks.

Located at Westchester Medical Center and MidHudson Regional Hospital, the Cardiovascular Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Program (CHPDP), prioritizes prevention, education and wellness while using best-practice methodologies to assess and manage the myriad of factors that can lead to cardiovascular disease such as genetics, environment, stress, and access to healthy food options.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and according to the American Heart Association, about 80% of cardiovascular disease is preventable.

“For so long, the specialty of cardiology has focused on treating patients after they have a problem, rather than trying to get to them before things become an issue,” said Joshua Melcer, MD, a cardiologist with WMCHealth’ s Heart and Vascular Institute and the CHPDP’s clinical lead. “When treating individuals who are at risk of developing heart disease, you want to be aggressive and proactive. This is extremely important for disadvantaged populations where cardiovascular diseases often develop earlier in life, which places additional stress on these communities as well as the entire health system. Ours is a program that wants to care for these and all patients, so we can diagnose and treat them before the onset of disease.”


A Proactive Plan for Heart Health Here is how the CHPDP program works: Patients entering the program undergo a full intake survey as well as a comprehensive physical examination. The examination includes screenings for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and blood sugar levels, factors that increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure and other cardiovascular conditions. The program’s multi-disciplinary staff includes cardiologists, endocrinologists, nurse practitioners and dietitians who place special emphasis on the latest guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.

Depending on the results of the initial evaluation, a program participant may also participate in echocardiograms, stress tests and coronary calcium scoring, which is a screening for asymptomatic coronary artery disease. And because exercise is vital for cardiovascular health, a cardiologist or nurse practitioner helps patients develop a personalized plan to get moving.

“The program calls for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week,” said Melcer. Patients also connect to a clinical dietitian who aligns their eating habits with their health goals.

“Heart disease is a complex matter, based on genetics, environment and personal choices, and optimal heart health is the result of a lifelong plan and commitment,” Melcer said. “Our goal is not to be just a one-time, ‘Hey, you’re doing great, and hopefully we won’t need to see you for some real heart problems down the road’ type of program. We want to maintain a relationship with each participant, encourage a healthy lifestyle, monitor that healthy lifestyle and be aggressive in managing any changes that come about.”

The CHPDP program is designed for any individual, regardless of their ability to pay, with a concern about their cardiovascular health. Melcer encourages those with a family history of heart disease, or individuals seeking to monitor their heart health, to call 914.909.6922 or visit https://wmchealthnetwork.tfaforms.net/337 to request a convenient appointment. The program also welcomes physician referrals. Additional CHPDP program information can be found at WMCHealthaps.com/Heart.
