deliver on our promise of providing the community with exceptional care, close to home. In June of 2021, we will open our new Center for Advanced Medicine & Surgery. This outpatient facility will continue to transform our campus by housing many of our specialty physicians under one roof and will connect to both our Cancer Center as well as our Main Hospital.
Among the many benefits to our community is the convenience and access to quality care the new Center will provide. Patient care will be coordinated across departments, allowing patients to see their physician and receive diagnostic testing during the same visit if needed. The Center will also feature state-of-the-art operating rooms, hyperbaric chambers to heal wounds, and cutting-edge imaging—including the only PET– MRI Scan in Westchester that provides the most detailed looks at the body’s organs, which in turn will support our goal of providing the very best healthcare for those patients suffering from cancer or other diseases.
LAURENCE SMITH
Chairman of the Board of Directors
This building is the latest representation of our dedication to our community to bring advanced healthcare to Westchester, and later this year, we will also begin a cardiac surgery program in part- nership with Montefiore. Currently, almost 80% of patients who need heart surgery leave Westchester County for care and this program is a great example of how we have worked hard to bring complex care close to home.
This year may have been the most challenging in our 128-year history. But it has shown us that our staff and our supporters throughout the community can come together to accomplish incredible things. We are grateful for the support and commitment that fuels us in our mission to serve our community. It’s that very mission that makes White Plains Hospital the premier Hospital in Westchester.
