Update for Catskill Regional Medical Center employees, physicians and volunteers
May/June 2015
A Message From Our Leader The summer months are upon us and as the population increases in Sullivan County, so does the role of Catskill Regional Medical Center. Each year, thousands of people who live and vacation here depend on us to deliver quality care, skill and compassion. This summer, those visiting our area will see significant and positive changes from last year. From new services such as Stroke Care to physical renovations inside and out. Recently, through the generosity of anonymous donor, our hospital received a gift of $500,000. This donation will help support our Capital Campaign that will fund continual renovations in many areas of the hospital. The renovations span from general cosmetic enhancements (such as new paint, floor covering, ceilings and lighting) to heavy renovation and structural improvements. Over the coming years, our plans are to modernize all inpatient floors/units and convert 82% of the rooms to private rooms for added comfort, privacy and infection control. Recent renovations, new furniture, equipment and artwork have been well received by employees, physicians and the community. Dr. Gerard Galarneau CEO & CMO
I want to thank those who have already contributed to our Capital Campaign which will fund our enhancements and upgrades to our facilities. Our recent donor was a grateful patient and made the contribution thanking the hospitals’ doctors and nurses for the care and compassion received over the years. The donor wishes to remain anonymous. It’s gifts like these and the numerous thank you notes I receive from grateful patients that reaffirm the care we provide is very important to our community. Thank you for your commitment to providing quality healthcare to our community. Sincerely,
Gerard Galarneau, MD, CEO & CMO
