Beth Abraham Center teams with the American Heart Association to design their new Cardiac Care Unit.
The Unit launches at Beth Abraham Center on February 27th. The eleven-bed unit features the only cardiac telemetry program in the Bronx designed in partnership with the American Heart Association—providing in-room livestream video monitoring of every Resident 24/7. Board certified
cardiologists join a team of top healthcare professionals— physicians, nurses, dietitians, and physical therapists— to evaluate and treat Residents for a wide range of cardiovascular crises and conditions.

Centers Success Story
Hi. I’m Vincent Miller, a Resident at Beth Abraham Center in the Bronx. I’ve led an active life, but time took its toll. Arthritis ravaged my knees. The cartilage had worn away, and both knees were literally bone-on-bone. I was in agony. My doctors recommended Simultaneous Bilateral Knee Replacement. After the surgery, I had to learn how to walk properly again. To that end, I checked into Beth Abraham Center in October, 2019. Three months have passed, and the results are amazing. Beth Abraham has been wonderfully accommodating, the environment clean and safe—the facility has been beautifully renovated—and the staff is very, very professional. I can’t say enough about the Physical Therapists: they are exemplary. I believe Divine Intervention brought me to Beth Abraham, but it was the team here that got me back on my feet and stronger than ever. I’m so grateful. If 5 stars is the top rating, Beth Abraham deserves a 7! Plant a garden Fruits and vegetables and flowers that you plant now will provide enjoyment for months.

Kenny’s Corner
Spring is in the Air. March is here, and as sure as the sun will rise, warmer days are ahead. It’s the season of renewal and growth—and that’s the perfect description of what’s happening right now at Centers Health Care. In addition to the launch of the Cardiac Care Unit at Beth Abraham Center, featured on the front page of this newsletter, Centers Health Care continues to grow its capacity for improving the health and well-being of its Residents and staff alike. Soon, the new state-of-the-art Brooklyn Center will open its doors, changing the shape of post-acute health care in New York. The innovative GO™ Rehab Program expands into Westchester County at Martine Center. And Centers reaffirms its commitment to Western New York, renewing its partnership with the Buffalo Sabres. But there’s a lot more to Centers Health Care than just building new facilities and expanding capabilities. First and foremost, we are a family—a growing family, adding new members to the team every day. And it doesn’t stop there, because we actively encourage our employees to grow their careers and their incomes within the company. Growth and renewal are what we do as, we spring forward.
