ometimes it pays to be within easy traveling distance of New York City – and not look at all like it.

One of the world’s great tourist draws, the city accounted for 65 percent of spending by visitors to the Empire State in 2012, or about $37.1 billion, according to a recent state-commissioned study.

Its regional neighbors, Long Island and the Hudson Valley, though vastly overshadowed by Gotham in spending numbers, ranked second and third in the state in tourism sales last year.

The three geographical neighbors together raked in nearly 80 percent of travelers’ dollars spent in the state in 2012.

Long Island, where visitors spent an estimated $5.1 billion in 2012, accounted for 9 percent of the state’s tourism sales, according to Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics company based in Philadelphia. The Hudson Valley’s Valley, page 6

housing ascendant Solid numbers; the rise of ‘hipsturbia’

By Bill FallOn bfallon@westfairinc.com

The housing sLuMP showed serious signs both of abating and of staying abated in the second quarter.

After depressed values, overstocked inventories and foreclosure sales for four years – a full year longer than housing bear markets of the past – the regional buyer’s market is bumping into its pricing antagonist, the seller’s market.

Inventories are down. Prices are up. Perhaps best of all, as Douglas Elliman’s Amy Kane sees the data, “We’re seeing heavy contract momentum carrying into the third quarter. This does not appear to be a blip.”

Kane serves as Douglas Elliman’s vice president of business development and as executive vice president and director of sales of its TriBeCa office

in Manhattan. She addressed the raft of favorable statistics released recently by her Manhattan-based company, which operates six offices in Westchester.

“The reports match the consumer behavior we’re seeing,” she said. “I see a very healthy market.

I understand there is a scarcity of inventory and that credit is still tight, but it’s looking healthy across all regions. There were pockets of good news in 2011. Now we’re seeing huge gains. Now, northern Westchester is looking stronger to go along with the southern part of the county, which had been stronger.”

Rye Brook-based Houlihan Lawrence’s managing principal Chris Meyers agreed. “We see the recovery that began in the fourth quarter of 2011 in the markets in southern Westchester and at the low end of the sales spectrum – under $500,000 – slowly building momentum in the six quarters Housing, page 6

cut it, pave it, build it, host it Elmsford business supplies what’s needed

By Bill FallOn bfallon@westfairinc.com

F

or 30 years, Kenny Puff has run, in essence, the best-stocked tool shop imaginable, growing from his first transaction – a circular saw rental – to a thrumming tool yard of light stanchions, skid loaders, excavators and wood chippers in Elmsford.

Puff ’s Westchester Tool Rentals on Vreeland Avenue has 70 generators ready to fire should another superstorm strike. Every one of them was spoken for when Sandy hit last October.

It’s only natural that, having fixed up your home, business, roadway or forest using his vast fix-it offerings, a person might want to entertain. And Puff has responded, now employing 35 in his Party Line Tent Rentals.

Fourteen work on the tool side.

“You could build a country with what we offer,” Puff said, walking the length of the Westchester Tool Rentals yard on a hot recent afternoon.

A golf shot away, workers cleaned vinyl tents and hoisted them, dripping, three stories to the rafters of the company warehouse. Plates, glasses, mobile stoves, tables, chairs and mobile flooring are available, too, through Party Line Tent Rentals and its Road Runner Mobile Kitchens arm.

Climate-controlled Party Line tents grace events in Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center, Lincoln Center and Bryant Park.

“We’ve provided tents for about 1,200 movies and TV shows,” Puff said, citing a revenue stream that has been flowing since he first took a cold call in 1992 looking for a tent for a “Toonces the Cat” production in Pound Ridge.

Party Line tents and catering equipment have contracted to the likes of “Salt,” “The Sopranos,” “Sex in the City,” “Sleepless in Seattle” and “I Am Legend.” Tents are as small as 10-by-10 feet and as large as 80-by-360 feet.

grandson/granddaughter. In Kenny Puff’s case, he began the company in 1983 and in 1985 he hired his father, Erwin, who goes

by Buddy and who formerly dug industrial water wells. In 1987, his mother, Anne, joined the company as treasurer and bookkeeper.

“Buddy always said to think like a farmer,” Kenny Puff said. “If something breaks down in the middle of a field, you have to rebuild it or improvise – always be thinking on your feet. And that continues to serve us today.” He personally has lived the credo since he was a boy.

“At 14 I was cutting 36 lawns,” he said.

“I’ve always been turning wrenches.”

Completing the family involvement, Karin Puff, Kenny’s wife, is in charge of human resources and payroll; Ben Puff, 23,

who recently graduated from SUNY Albany and who clambers aboard a hydraulic excavator the way another person steps into a car, works full time; his younger sisters, Jennifer and Christina, work as part-time interns.

“We’re in the service industry,” said Ben Puff, whose degree is in sales and marketing.

In two full-time years with the company, he has elevated “unit sales” – a unit being any product in the shop – by 272 percent.

Trends in equipment include “anything that lifts,” Kenny Puff said. Also, “anything that’s green.” The green factor works well for the company, he explained: “Basically, the whole tool-rental concept is green. You’re not buying something just to watch it sit around.”

Puff’s first rental in 1983 was for a generator and circular saw. By 1986 he had left his original 2,500-square-foot shop on Elmsford’s

Hayes Street for the current shop on Vreeland Avenue, which includes 4,200 recently added square feet for a total 10,000 square feet. He praised his employees, noting they average more than seven years with the company, exceeding the industry average by four or five years. Employees Rich Divestea and Jimmy Gowans each have more than 20 years.

“I tell my guys to get on the other side of the counter,” Kenny Puff said. “We want to make sure we’re confident of the price and of the service. It’s a great team effort; thank God for good, dedicated employees. You can’t do it all by yourself.”

As for the oddball request: “No, we don’t rent elephants, but I might know somebody who does,” he said. Clients on the tool side include arborists, excavators, carpenters, plumbers, heavy highway contractors, rock blasters and marine contractors.

Need a floor sander that reaches under radiators? Fresh out of air-fed helmets for sandblasting? Or – for that driveway job – what neighbor can spare an articulated 3-ton vibratory roller?

And trench rollers, floor grinders and conveyor belts. Westchester Tool Rentals offers mini-excavators featuring 18-inch, 24-inch and 30-inch buckets. Or a 65-foot hydraulic boom. “Whatever it takes,” Ben Puff said.

The 30-page catalog of tool offerings says, “No truck? No time? No problem! We deliver.”

The company sells, repairs and rents equipment, making it “a one-stop shop for contractors,” according to Kenny Puff. “You don’t have to stop at 10 different places.

Money is time and time is money.”

Council seeks priority projects for region The Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council is seeking proposals this month for priority projects to recommend for funding in the third year of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s regional economic development initiative.

The state will award up to $760 million in funding late this year, including $150 million in capital and $70 million in tax credits from the Excelsior Jobs Program, to implement strategic plans and support priority projects of 10 competing regional councils across the state. The funding pot also includes $530 million for municipal and private-sector projects through programs at 26 state agencies.

Priority projects are chosen based on their ability to stimulate job creation, private-sector investment and transformational economic growth. The Mid-Hudson council will recommend top projects from applicants seeking state funding through the state’s three-year-old Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process.

The region’s strategic plan focuses on growth industries, such as biotechnology, high-tech manufacturing and information technology, as well as more established industries such as health care, financial and professional services and the food and beverage sector.

Applicants should complete the state’s priority project worksheet and submit it by 4 p.m. July 30 with any supporting documentation. The plan and project worksheet are posted at regionalcouncils.ny.gov/content/ mid-hudson.

The deadline to submit CFAs for all development projects is 4 p.m. Aug. 12.

Application materials are available online at apps.cio.ny.gov/apps/cfa/index.cfm.

Reader’s Digest shrinks as office vacancies rise

By JOHn GOlden jgolden@westfairinc.com

eader’s Digest Association Inc. further shrank its presence in Westchester County when it shed two floors of office space in a second-quarter downsizing at the company’s downtown White Plains location.

In 2010, the global publishing company closed its 70-year-old headquarters on the Chappaqua Crossing campus in the town of New Castle and relocated its operations to new corporate headquarters in Manhattan and 44 S. Broadway in White Plains, where about 525 employees initially were to be employed.

Reader’s Digest in the recently ended quarter closed on a new 54,000-square-foot lease at 44 S. Broadway, the 21-story Westchester One office tower. It was the only lease deal larger than 20,000 square feet of space in the quarter, according to commercial real estate firms in the county market. But the major tenant also gave up approximately 89,000 square feet of space in Westchester One, according to RHYS Commercial Real Estate in Stamford, Conn.

That downsizing raised the vacancy rate for Class A buildings in the White Plains central business district to 24.4 percent from 23.7 percent in the first quarter, according to researchers at Jones Lang LaSalle’s Stamford office. The county’s total Class A vacancy rate rose slightly

It’s true.

When doctors become successful, they move to the suburbs.

Who can blame them? Westchester has charming town squares, top-tier school districts and one-of-a-kind homes. But if you’re a successful doctor, you don’t only care where you live. You also care where you work.

That’s why they’re drawn to Bronxville’s Lawrence Hospital Center.

Over the last five years, we’ve spent nearly $50 million in renovations.

S uffice it to say, that kind of money buys a lot more than a new coat of paint and some soothing wall art.

Let’s start with the room people often see first: The Emergency Room. We’ve done so much reconstructive surgery on it, you wouldn’t recognize the place. Modern.

Sleek. Computerized. It’s everything

you’d want in a part of the hospital we hope you never have to visit.

Of course, not every visit to our hospital is for a bad reason. Sometimes it’s for a good one. And there’s no better example of that than our Maternity Ward.

Our nursery is spacious enough to handle a minor population explosion. And with 23 new private rooms, their mothers get some well-deser ved privacy.

Each room has been designed with soft lighting, carpeting, Internet access and a flat-screen TV. In addition to our warm bedside manner, we have electronic bedside records. A laser-fast scan of your ID bracelet tells our nurses who you are and what medication you need. It’s an extra layer of security that helps eliminate the possibility of mistaken identity.

Speaking of technology, we’ve improved our image with upgraded MRIs and Westchester’s first Low Dose CT Scan. A dose so low, it delivers up to 40% less radiation than the previous model.

That said, technology is only half the story.

People are the other half.

In an age when hospitals focus on the almighty dollar, we still focus on the almighty patient. Maybe that’s why nationally recognized doctors and award-winning surgeons who could work anywhere, choose to work here. We don’t just talk about compassionate care, we also

live and breathe it.

No wonder people think it’s healthier to live in the suburbs.

If you’d like the full hospital tour, visit lawrencehealth.org. Find out why so many top doctors call our hospital “home.”

Valley ­— From page 1

approximately $3.2 billion in tourism sales amounted to a 6 percent share of the state market, just ahead of the Finger Lakes region, where travelers spent nearly $2.8 billion last year.

The annual study, prepared by Tourism Economics for Empire State Development, the state’s economic development agency and overseer of the long-running “I Love New York” marketing campaign, measures the economic impact of tourism in 11 regions across the state. The Hudson Valley region surveyed includes Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange and Columbia counties.

In an industry still recovering from lost business and leisure travel trade in the recession, “2012 was very good for the Hudson Valley region,” said Mary Kay Vrba, president of Hudson Valley Tourism Inc. and Dutchess County’s tourism director in Poughkeepsie.

The regional group she heads includes 10 counties from Westchester north to Albany.

In that larger geographical region, Vrba said tourists spent more than $4.75 billion in 2012. More than 81,000 persons worked in tourism or tourism-related jobs in the region at the start of this year, she said.

Housing ­— From page 1

since then,” he said. “Now it’s safe to say that recovery has spread to all parts of the county and to all price levels.”

Inventory in the recent second quarter was 13.3 percent or 6,128 units below the same quarter in 2012.

“In 2010, we were seeing the exact opposite, with inventory staying on the market. That’s no longer the case and that’s really big news,” said Meyers.

Kane cited the White Plains market as strong and noted the high-end market – single-family homes costing above $1.625 million – witnessed a 24.3 percent spike in sales. She cited recession-fueled price cuts spurring some of the activity by affordability.

“There was a median sale price decrease of 8.5 percent, but that’s healthy,” she said.

The multimillion-dollar homes’ recovery has come with a notable line of demarcation, according to Meyers.

Meyers called the market for homes valued between $2 million and $2.5 million “red hot,” with pending sales quarter-over-quarter up 84 percent. After that, the market between $2.5 million and $3 million has seen only a 9 percent increase, a figure Meyers termed “a decent percentage.”

Meyers, too, is seeing the scarcity of inventory Kane sees. He said ideally there should be five or six homes in active inven-

Vrba said Hudson Valley Tourism Inc. receives approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in annual funding from the state’s I Love New York program, which is matched by contributions from the 10 counties in the tourism group. Last December, the association was awarded an additional $300,000 state grant for its tourism promotions.

“I think the (study) numbers show that the dollars that are invested in tourism are paying off,” Vrba said.

The six-county valley region studied by economists showed 2.9 percent growth in traveler spending in 2012 from the previous year.

Spending growth here, though, was well below the statewide average of 6.2 percent. Only the Chautauqua-Allegheny region, with 1 percent growth, and the oenophile-attracting Finger Lakes region, with 2 percent growth, trailed the Hudson Valley in that category.

New York City led the state with a 7.3 percent rise in traveler spending last year, while Long Island was second with 6.3 percent.

“Overall, it’s continuous steady growth, although it might not be as large as other areas,” Vrba said. “It’s been continued steady growth upwards.”

Westchester County dwarfed its valley neighbors in spending by tourists, with visitors dropping nearly $1.7 billion here last year, the study found. That sum represented 53

percent of the region’s tourism sales. It was s 1.6 percent increase in tourist spending in the county from 2011.

Dutchess County was second to Westchester in the region with approximately $475.6 million in traveler spending last year.

Rockland County, where visitors spent $400.3 million in 2012, had the largest percentage increase in sales at 8.3 percent.

Only Putnam County saw a decline in tourism spending in 2012, with approximately $52.6 million in sales. That was a 3.9 percent decrease from 2011.

Putnam County Tourism Director Libby Pataki could not be reached for comment on the study’s findings. Vrba suggested the decline could be tied to a lack of overnight accommodations for visitors to the county.

The tourism industry employed about 35,700 workers in the region last year, or 4.5 percent of the region’s total workforce.

In Westchester, about 16,000 workers were directly employed in tourism, making up 4 percent of the county’s total workforce.

The most tourist-dependent county for employment, Dutchess, had 5.4 percent of its workforce directly employed in the industry last year.

Westchester also produced 53 percent, or about $200.4 million, of the roughly $379.9 million in state and local taxes generated

by travelers to the region in 2012. Putnam County had the region’s lowest share of taxes, 1.7 percent, with tourists generating about $6.4 million in taxes there.

Vrba noted the Hudson Valley was given another boost this year in its tourism promotion efforts by National Geographic Traveler.

The magazine hailed New York City’s greener, cleaner neighbor for its diverse cultural offerings in art, music and dining when including it among 20 international destinations on its Best Trips 2013 list.

“Just a couple hours north of New York City,” the Traveler stated, “this is a land of mom-and-pop shops, ‘u-pick’ wildflower fields, and organic farm stands where ‘chain’ is a four-letter word. Between the Culinary Institute of America grads too enchanted to leave Hyde Park and the influx of NYC chefs realizing the land is greener (and apartments bigger) here, area eateries such as Blue Hill at Stone Barns are stoking locavore passions.”

“I think that speaks volumes about what we have to offer to visitors when they come,” Vrba said. “We’ve got world-class attractions and we’ve got 10 counties that cooperate to help get the word out and build the brand.”

Through the economy’s highs and lows, “We’re going to be around,” said Vrba. “This is one industry that you can’t outsource.”

tory for every home under contract to sell.

“Now, we have two listings for every home in contract,” he said. The healthier five or six to one ratio – “a balanced market” – re-emerges for homes priced above $2.5 million.

For properties in Westchester, median sales price for the combined condo, co-op, single-family, multi-family and luxury home market rose 4.4 percent to $479,000. The much-watched single-family home price ticked up 4.8 percent to a median value of $650,000. A total of 2,251 single-family homes sold in the second quarter, a 24 percent increase from a year ago.

“It all points to healthy consumer confidence,” Kane said. “When there is more confidence in the economy, there is more confidence in buying a home.”

The two- to four-family unit market had been among the strongest in the recession and it remained solid, posting a median sales price of $350,000, up 8.8 percent quarter over quarter.

The number of multifamily unit sales rose 36.9 percent to 115.

The rosier second quarter coincides with escalating interest rates.

A 30-year fixed mortgage had held steady “at or below 3.5 percent for most of ’13,” Meyers said. In the last two months, however, that number has ratcheted up to between 4.5 percent and 4.7 percent.

“That equates to a $425 bump in monthly mortgage payments on a $500,000 home,” he said. “My thought is that rates coming up will not cut down on the number of sales, but it

puts a headwind on prices. This is not necessarily a bad thing considering inventories are the lowest since 2004.

“It will cut into affordability, but affordability had been at historic highs,” he said.

In booming White Plains, sales are up 41 percent year over year and a more sizzling 67 percent in 2Q 2013 over 2Q 2012.

“Inventory constraints have motivated buyers to broaden their search and a few areas have outperformed the market as a result,” according to the Houlihan Lawrence quarterly report. “The Rivertowns, recently coined as ‘hipsturbia’ by The New York Times, posted a 28 percent increase in sales, and 8 percent gain in median sale price. The easy commute along

the Hudson River, riverfront community parks and quaint downtown areas have resonated with New York City and Brooklyn buyers, who strive for relevant alternatives to city life.”

Kane, who sells from lower Manhattan, is seeing the same thing. “Manhattan and Brooklyn are looking here,” she said.

While the listing discount in Putnam County fell 0.9 percent (from 12.1 percent to 11.2 percent) and the inventory fell 2.8 percent to 962 units, the median single-family sale price of $288,500 was still down 1.5 percent compared with 2Q 2012.

The number of Putnam sales, however, was up 18.2 percent to 208 units for the quarter.

Rising house sales are county’s tax gain A revived housing market has raised Westchester County’s mortgage tax revenue at midyear to a level not seen since 2008 before the Great Recession sent the market into a prolonged slump.

Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni said the county’s approximately $7.55 million in mortgage tax receipts through June was an increase of more than 22 percent from the same period last year.

In 2008, the county reaped nearly $10.8 million in mortgage taxes through the first half of the year. That figure was more than

double the county’s revenue from mortgages in the first half of 2009, when revenue plummeted to approximately $5.27 million.

The county took in approximately $6.48 million in mortgage tax revenue in the first half of 2010 and approximately $6.59 million for the same period in 2011.

“We are hopeful that the improvement we are seeing in our local real estate market will result in a steady increase in this important revenue source in the second half of the year,” Idoni said in a press release.

social media trends Remembrance and social media

T

here are times when I don’t know what I will write about in this column. Social media is just such a big and rapidly evolving area that determining which sub-area to focus on takes both thought and effort. However, there are also times when some occurrence or situation arises that demands my attention and almost immediately becomes the subject of my column. Such was the case with my good friend and tennis partner, Artie.

Artie is a retired policeman. He spent many long days and nights working in a tough precinct in the Bronx. He truly loved his work and although he retired a year ago, still regularly visits his precinct.

Artie was a 9/11 first responder. Every six months, he goes into the city to get his lungs and respiratory system evaluated.

Particularly on hot, muggy days, Artie sometimes has trouble catching his breath and requires the use of an inhaler. In the near future, he will be moving to Arizona from New York in part because of its superior air quality and lower humidity.

I was truly moved when Artie mentioned all of this to me. Despite playing tennis on a regular basis with a good friend – albeit one who is very reticent – it made me start to wonder about the nameless thousands of 9/11 first responders who are also enduring these lingering and often debilitating health issues and what is being done to help them. I knew the basics of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (Zadroga Act) and that it required an act of Congress (spurred on in part by the actions of Jon Stewart) to allocate $4.2 billion for the creation of the World Trade Center Health Program. What I did not know about was the amount of online material and social traffic related to it.

In previous articles, I have discussed the power of social media and its increasing importance for nonprofits in many areas – particularly fundraising and publicity. A recent study by the University of Massachusetts reported that 89 percent of charitable organizations are now utilizing social media marketing with 45 percent of them using it for some form of fundraising.

Social media allows these organizations to communicate directly with fol-

lowers and supporters. Through frequent communications, organizations can rapidly build trust, stay in front of their target audience and persuade people to become volunteers or partners who donate both their time and money. Just by the nature of social media, when followers discuss some important subject with friends and other people in their network who in turn discuss it with people in their immediate network, highly effective, organic wordof-mouth growth is gradually achieved.

This results in a larger and more responsive audience.

So how does this help Artie and other heroes like him? What is the benefit of social media to them?

I believe it is as important for the rest of us to remember and honor them as it is for them to have a common – and maybe private – thread for themselves, particularly since many responders are suffering from some form of posttraumatic stress disorder. It’s just too easy for people to forget or overlook the major contributions from a relatively small handful of people – whether they are first responders or troops fighting in distant wars.

In searching online, I found a number of websites, videos, groups and conversations dealing with the details and facts of 9/11 and its aftermath. I did not find many websites or active groups involving first responders. Although there were a number of testimonials and videos on YouTube by first responders, they usually focused on the politics behind the Zadroga Act or on the ailments of individual responders. Unfortunately, the activity and communication levels were shockingly low. They deserve better.

I will be joining and contacting several of the groups and organizations I found online starting with the Facebook group, 9/11 WTC First Responders Foundation, to see how I can help. I will keep you informed on my progress.

ask andi Getting on board as assistant to the president As a new assistant to the president, I’m feeling my way.

Sometimes I feel like I’m on my own island, not doing a lot with others. If people are having meetings, I may not be included. I also don’t know a lot about the company, who does what – think I should know more.

Thoughts of the Day: Your role can be an intimidating one for others. Carve out your niche. Introduce yourself formally.

Build an orientation program. Decide what your contribution is going to be and then make it happen.

Any new job can be a challenge. The memory of your predecessor lingers. You have yet to make an impression. People are curious about who you are and what they can count on from you.

Fitting in carries some unique challenges since you report directly to everyone’s boss.

July 22, 2013 • WCBJ • HV Biz

Most people are deciding how to play that out. Some may not be open with you, figuring anything they say goes back to the boss.

Others may look to curry favor, hoping for good words on their behalf with the president of the company.

Treat everyone equally. Of course there will be some employees who are annoying and some who are friendlier than others.

Remember your special position as representative of the boss. Find the balance between being approachable and being a gatekeeper.

Get to know other people in the company by attending meetings. Work from the top down. While you may not be a peer to the CFO, COO, CSO and other chief officers, you are going to have to work with those folks, direct their activities, gather information from them and get them to pay attention.

Set up an appointment to meet one on one of the company’s senior executives. Find out what they need that you can help to make happen. You want them to see it as useful to support you by opening up a two-way street.

Learn about the company’s routines.

Ask about standard meetings and reports.

Figure out how information flows formally and informally. Discuss your role in supporting and enhancing that.

Ask each department to give you an tour.

Take careful notes. Use those notes to build an orientation program for other new hires.

Ask for an organization chart. If one exists, keep it with you at all times. Make notes on what you’re learning about each area. Suggest edits if what you see doesn’t match what’s on paper. If there is no organization chart, draft one and review that with your boss at one of your weekly meetings. If you find problems or good things, ask your boss how much to report back.

You also have the usual challenges. What does your boss need you to do? How can you best work together? What results do you hope to produce? Clarify what’s expected.

When you interviewed for the job you probably presented yourself as organized, assertive and willing to take action. What past skills and attributes did you discuss as valuable to this company? Your collective experiences are probably a big part of why you got this job. Focus there as you learn more about

your new home and your role in it.

Make sure you and your boss are on the same page. Discuss your role when it comes to giving people access to the boss’s calendar, organizing your boss’s desk, managing personal and confidential information and tasks, special projects.

Set goals. Start short term. What do you want to learn and be able to do the first, second and third months? After a month on the job clarify six-month and one-year goals.

Stay on the same page with your boss by scheduling monthly and quarterly reviews.

The town of Mount Pleasant Planning Board has approved the site plan for the first phase of Pace University’s $100 million construction project on its Pleasantville campus.

Groundbreaking is expected in September.

The five-year, multi-phase project should enable Pace to consolidate functions that are now split between campuses in Pleasantville and Briarcliff Manor.

Currently 690 students reside in dorms on the Pleasantville campus and 590 at Briarcliff Manor. The 35-acre Briarcliff Manor campus, which Pace opened in 1977, is for sale.

The unified campus should bring multiple benefits, the school reported, including enhancing the overall quality of student life and eliminating approximately 3,000 annual bus trips needed to shuttle students between campuses that are 2.5 miles apart.

The first phase includes new residence halls, expanding and upgrading the student center, relocating and expanding the environmental center, adding new athletic facilities, upgrading existing buildings and infrastructure and improving pedestrian accessibility.

The environmentally-focused plan will incorporate extensive green building designs and technologies. Approximately 60 percent of the 200-acre property on Route 117 will remain as green space.

The planned improvements should have minimal visible impact on the surrounding area, school officials said. A 115-acre wooded buffer that wraps around the north, east and southeast portions of the campus will remain undisturbed.

The Pace University board of trustees voted to advance the project in May. “As the Pace University Pleasantville campus prepares to celebrate its 50th Anniversary in September, we prepare for the transformation and revitalization of the campus,” said Pace University President Stephen J. Friedman. “The capital improvements in Pleasantville, together with new academic programs and related enhancements, represent a significant investment in and commitment to the future of the Pleasantville campus.”

Pace is Westchester’s 13th largest employer. Some 18,400 Pace alumni live in the county with 1,900 residing in Mount Pleasant.

When the village of Dobbs Ferry last month green-lighted the mixed-use Rivertowns Square development on 18 acres near the intersection of Lawrence Street and the Saw Mill River Parkway, a potential legal obstacle remained.

In an Article 78 civil proceeding, the village of Ardsley alleges the Dobbs Ferry trustees’ approval of findings in the project develop;rs environmental impact staemeent was “arbitrary, capricious, unsupported by the record.”

Ardsley is represented by attorney Mark Chertok of Manhattan-based Sive, Paget & Riesel P.C. In particular, The village claims Dobbs Ferry trustees failed to take a hard look at the project’s impacts on traffic, stormwater runoff, on-site environmental contamination and other subjects of mandatory review under the Stae Environmental Qaulity Review Act. The petition was filed May 8 in state Supreme Court in White Plains. Dobbs Ferry vcillage trustees voted 4-3 June 25 to approve the development, which calls for 202 luxury rental units and a retail complex anchored by a movie theater.

Chertok said the ball is in Dobbs Ferry’s court. “We’re waiting for them to respond,” he said.

The village must address Ardsley’s complaints, one of which alleges“the scale and composition of the project are incompatible with the community character of these neighborhoods” in the vicinity of the commercial development.

The developer, Dobbs Ferry Capital Partners L.L.C. hopes to break ground at the end of this year and have the complex occupancy by the end of 2014.

Atlas Air inks luxury flight deal

Purchase-based Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Inc. recently announced it will maintain, staff and insure a Boeing 767-200 passenger aircraft for Dallas-based MLW Air L.L.C. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Under the new agreement, Atlas Air will operate MLW Air’s all-first class, 102-seat jet.

MLW’s client list includes the Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones and Beyoncé.

The move expands Atlas Air’s crew, maintenance and insurance service program into very high-end passenger transport. Atlas Air currently operates 10 Boeing 767s, including three passenger aircraft and seven freighters.

“This agreement to operate one of the world’s most distinctive aircraft further expands our asset-light CMI service solution and diversifies our business mix with additional passenger ability,” said William J. Flynn, Atlas Air president and CEO. “We look forward to offering MLW Air a combination of experienced pilots, highly trained flight attendants and an outstanding maintenance and safety record to provide a one-of-a-kind experience for passengers who demand the best.”

Atlas Air’s fleet also includes two VIPconfigured Boeing 747-400 passenger aircraft, 37 Boeing 747 freighters and a recently acquired Boeing 777 freighter.

50 is the magic number for small business this year

By Karen Zalewski-Wildzunas

R

ecently, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) celebrated National Small Business Week for the 50th consecutive year, with special recognition given to this major engine in the national, as well as the Tri-State region’s economy.

Statistics speak for themselves about the significance of small business. The SBA reports there are nearly 28 million small businesses in the U.S., representing 99.7 percent of all employer firms and employing almost half of all private sector employees.

These small businesses pay 43 percent of the total U.S. private-sector payroll and have created 64 percent of net new jobs in the 18 years leading up to 2011.

National studies show more people over the age of 50 are starting small businesses today. These socalled “encore entrepreneurs” are the fastest-growing group of new business owners in the U.S.

Recession or to find alternative employment in a difficult job market.

Locally, this age group is sizable.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the median age for Westchester County is exactly 40 years, the average among all six Hudson Valley counties is 39.6 years, and the average including Fairfield is also 39.6.

Additionally, figures show close to onequarter or 24 percent of Westchester County residents, and similarly 23.8 percent of all residents in the seven-county area, are between the ages of 50 and 69 in the prime market

segment for encore entrepreneurs.

Financial institutions, like First Niagara, are tailoring services to assist both senior startups as well as all small business ventures. Last year, we created a special business unit dedicated to serving small business customers in our five geographic areas. Earlier this year, we supported that with enhanced business checking products designed to save small business owners money.

For those 50+ looking to start their own business, the SBA also supports “encore entrepreneurs” through several partnerships,

including one with AARP, and its own 50+ tool kit to help them start or own their business.

So as we salute the importance of small business, 50 is the magic number to keep in mind – 50 for the consecutive years of celebrating National Small Business Week and 50+ for the age group representing the hottest wave of new small business owners.

Karen Zalewski-Wildzunas is first vice president, small business team leader – tristate region.

EVERY BUSINESS HAS A STORY. WHAT’S YOURS? REGIONAL

In the Hudson Valley and Fairfield County, Conn., region, 2010 U.S. Census figures show we have 78,606 small businesses in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster and Fairfield counties as defined with fewer than 500 employees, including 71,348 or nearly 91 percent that have fewer than 20 employees. Overall, small businesses employ 606,654 individuals in this region.

But behind these numbers, the face of small business is changing – to one that is more seasoned than ever before.

National studies show more people over the age of 50 are starting small businesses today. These so-called “encore entrepreneurs” are the fastest-growing group of new business owners in the U.S. Why would seniors, at their stage in life, take on the financial and emotional risks of being an encore entrepreneur? The reasons are insightful.

Some seniors are financially secure and want to pursue their dream business at last.

Or they are in a position to offer a not-forprofit business service, one meeting a social need and providing a positive community impact.

But other seniors are starting a business out of necessity. They need to supplement their retirement fund battered by the Great

Medical treatments benefit from artistic touch

BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

T

hey might find solace looking out over the Italian rooftops painted by Tova Snyder or perhaps a moment of escape contemplating the vivid Tivoli, N.Y., skies photographed by Joseph Squillante.

Maybe they’ll even laugh at the quirky pairing of playful orange sneakers with a workmanlike office chair in “Laces,” a photograph

by Marc Weinstein.

These works, just a handful of a collection created by regional artists, are on display in the Infusion Center at Westchester Medical Center. The outpatient facility at 19 Bradhurst Ave. in Hawthorne, a complex adjacent to the main campus in Valhalla, is a partnership with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Since its mid-February opening, the 5,300-square-foot unit has been offering medical oncology care ranging from consultations, evaluations and management of patients to the administration of chemotherapy and biotherapy for medical-center patients referred there.

It’s all designed to showcase not only state-of-the-art medical care with Memorial Sloan-Kettering nurses and pharmacists on hand at all times but also the latest advances in patient comfort, from a well-appointed waiting room to a designated consultation space for the American Cancer Society’s Patient Navigator Program to 10 private cubicles for treatment, each in view of the nurses’ station and equipped with both a recliner and television.

The artwork, which ranges from abstracts to landscapes, seascapes to still lifes, is a vibrant example of the center’s dedication to the concept of wellness and expanding the meaning of patient-centered care.

These works have been carefully selected in a program designed to boost the morale, give comfort to and provide respite to not only patients but also to their caregivers, family members and the center’s own staff.

“It’s part of a larger arts-as-healing program,” said Anne Tarpey, a service excellence officer with the medical center, on hand for a recent tour. “It’s not just treatment. You care about the environment they’re in, too. … Your

environment is so important for healing.”

The exhibition, the result of a collaboration with the nonprofit ArtsWestchester, falls under the Westchester Medical Center Healing Arts Program. The initiative uses integrative art therapies and complementary healing practices to enhance the health and overall wellness of not only patients but also their family members, visitors and caregivers. The program’s reach is broad, with art exhibitions and classes joined by music therapy, performing arts, nutritional counseling, yoga, tai chi, reiki, aromatherapy and massage.

“We see them all as this creative integration – heart and spirit,” Tarpey said of the additional services.

And soon, there will be even more offered.

“We are about to break ground in the hospital for a caregiver center,” Tarpey added, something that would gather varied services that recognize how an illness affects those around a patient, as well. The center is envisioned as a place to do everything from take a shower or charge a phone to learning about outfitting a home for a wheelchair or speaking with a chaplain.

Back in the infusion center, the artwork has already had an impact on the atmosphere, said Dr. Michael Fanucchi, medical director of Westchester Advanced Oncology and Infusion Services.

“It certainly beats a blank wall,” he playfully noted with a laugh but quickly added that the addition of the art helps to make it “a more personal, warm” environment that

adds to patient comfort.

He has his favorites, he said, particularly noting those Italian rooftops by Snyder as he has an affinity “for things Italian.”

That’s a prime example, Tarpey said, of how the artwork has already begun to forge individual connections.

That result, she continued, was part of what made the selection process so interesting. As each patient’s treatment is individual, so are his or her tastes.

That meant the varied works were chosen in recognition that “there’s no cookie-cutter approach to a patient and what resonates with them,” Tarpey said.

“We certainly were looking for things that had some kind of movement because healing is about movement,” she said, noting color was also a factor. “We didn’t want anything that was depressing or dark or too thought-provoking.”

Artwork will be rotated as time goes on, with plans for expansion.

“As we move forward, we actually have a steering committee,” Tarpey said, that will be closely involved. “It’s in the developing stages certainly but really this is an exciting time.”

Janet Langsam, the CEO of ArtsWestchester, has also been buoyed by the collaboration and what it may bring down the line.

“It’s kind of a first for us – and for them,” she said. The arts council was pleased to help the program explore the riches of the local arts community, for now spotlighting the work of artists that also include Marianne Campolongo, Susan Manspeizer, Bibiana Huang Matheis, Kiyoshi Otsuka and Joyce Wenglowski.

These days, the bright-and-airy space is a place that comes alive with glances at work depicting sea glass and serene lily pads, artfully arched doorways and sails standing proudly against the sky, delicate florals and captivating abstracts.

It is hoped, all agree, that these images will bolster those on their journey to heal.

As Langsam wrote of the project, words featured in the center’s grand-opening program, “… A reassuring line of poetry, a sense of hopefulness in a painting, a memorable melodic phrase, all these can have a palliative effect as potent as any medical prescription.”

Beginning the conversation Discussing advance directives

By Mary K. sPenGler

I

t rarely is easy to start a discussion with a loved one about end-of-life care. Yet stories in the news of family and court battles over the wishes of patients who cannot speak for themselves demonstrate the importance of beginning the conversation with loved ones.

advance directives express requests and choices Advance directives describe a person’s wishes about health care and financial matters in the event of a critical and life-threatening illness or condition. These directives can include a health care proxy, a living will and a

power of attorney.

The health care directive provides doctors and family members with a plan as to the type of care one wants in the event that one becomes seriously ill and cannot communicate his/her wishes. Even healthy adults without known medical problems should consider drafting a health care directive, which will aid in decision-making regarding levels of care.

The living will addresses desired levels of care and quality-of-life issues when a certain defined threshold of functional activity or illness has been reached. A health care proxy names a person (such as a family member, friend or professional) as an agent who can sign documents and make decisions if one

becomes unconscious or lacks the capacity. If the condition is temporary, an agent will be needed only for a short period of time.

starting the conversation is essential According to elder law attorney Michael J. Amoruso, discussions with loved ones regarding advance directives should not be placed on the backburner.

“Unfortunately, people tend to delay discussing advance directives with their loved ones because the topic of one’s mortality may be uncomfortable for some,” says Amoruso, an attorney with Amoruso & Amoruso L.L.P. in Rye Brook who serves on the board of directors for the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, was chair of New York State Bar Association Elder Law Section and was president of the New York chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys.

“Without these documents, however, if an individual becomes incapacitated or incapable of making decisions regarding their care or finances, the family will have no choice but to commence a guardianship proceeding in court to have a guardian appointed to make decisions for them. That process can add unwanted stress on the family and can, if contested, amount to thousands of dollars.”

New York state has developed simple advance directive forms that are available online and through hospitals and other health care providers. These forms should be filled out thoughtfully and thoroughly.

“It’s not enough for an individual to express a general desire to avoid being sustained by machines,” Amoruso says. “The advance directive needs to explicitly spell out the person’s wishes as they pertain to specific circumstances that may affect quality of life, for example, partial or complete paralysis from a stroke, inability to recognize

loved ones because of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia or stages of a terminal illness.

It should include directives not only about ‘extraordinary means,’ such as machines, but also regarding artificial nutrition and hydration in the event that the person cannot eat or drink independently.”

Families often need assistance from an attorney, hospice professional, or other professional with expertise in drawing up advance directives to ensure that the documents are written with sufficient detail and clearly express the person’s wishes.

Look for opportunities to begin the conversation While it may be uncomfortable to begin the conversation, you may want to bring up the topic after a doctor’s appointment for a checkup or to treat an illness. A meeting with a financial advisor about a retirement portfolio offers a natural segue into a conversation about estate planning and advance directives.

The topic could be brought up during or after a meeting with a family or elder care attorney. Family members may even want to suggest privately that the attorney start the discussion.

Advance directives are best addressed when a parent or loved one still is healthy and can clearly express wishes and desires. In this way, loved ones can face critical or endof-life illness with grace, dignity, comfort and compassion.

Meeting the patient more than half way New York City medical group opens in Scarsdale

BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

S

eeing that a growing number of its clients were coming from Westchester County, a Manhattan-based medical practice last month opened an office in Scarsdale.

In doing so, New York Gastroenterology Associates L.L.P. found that it is now attracting patients from across the border in Fairfield County.

“One-third of our patients, or five out of 15, are from Fairfield,” said Neville Bamji, clinical instructor of medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital and a physician at the new office at 2 Overhill Road near Popham Road.

Two of the practice’s five gastroenterologists, Bamji and Savreet Sarkaria, work directly in the Scarsdale office. Both are residents of the community and say they try to bring a personal touch to the relationships they have with the people they serve.

Bamji goes so far as to provide his patients with his personal cellphone number so they can reach him anytime. Sarkaria has formed close relationships with her patients, some of whom refer their friends to her.

“We have a lot of patients who already come to us in Manhattan, and in a way we’re providing a service that will come to them,” said Sarkaria, who has been a gastroenterologist for eight years.

“It reminds me of the whole structure of the family practitioner who has a longstanding relationship with the patients. The office is very cozy and personal and the staff is amazing. It’s a nice feeling.”

The doctors believe they are adding value to the community as a business that cares about its community.

“We feel like we’re part of the community since both of us live here,” Bamji said.

“We already have a large patient base in Westchester in the Manhattan location, so this feels like a natural expansion of our practice rather than moving to a different area.

Other patients who could come to the city for health care will now be able to get health care here. So I can only see it as an uplifting source for other businesses and doctors as we form unique relationships and meet other physicians and even grow our staff.”

For many Westchester and Fairfield residents, the Scarsdale office saves them a trip to Manhattan, especially for those who need a basic assessment rather than a procedure.

“The week before our Scarsdale office opened, I had a patient come to see me before she moved,” Sarkaria said. “She came all the way to Manhattan to see me. If it was only a month or two later she wouldn’t have

to have traveled that far.”

The Scarsdale location is a small, cozy office with cinnamon-colored wallpaper and exam rooms with natural lighting. The medical group offers checkups and consultations and provides immediate feedback on the next steps after each appointment.

After patients receive feedback on their initial checkups, the physicians at the Scarsdale office speak with their pathologists on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and match the patients with the physicians whom they believe will best serve them in performing three types of digestive examinations: colonoscopies, upper endoscopies or gastrointestinal procedures.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS

Phelps Memorial Hospital Center in Sleepy Hollow has long been known as a leader in joint replacement surgery. The first total hip replacement in Westchester County was performed at Phelps

by Dr. George Burak in 1969. In 2006, his son, Dr. Corey Burak, was the first in Westchester to perform Anterior Approach Hip Replacement. Since then, more than 1,500 patients have traveled to Phelps from near and far for hip replacement by the most experienced anterior approach team in the Northeast.

Observations about health care care costs are “too high.” A federal report shows that in 2011, the average family spent much ou can have a medical emergency any- more on housing ($16,800), transportation where in the U.S. and receive excellent ($8,300), food ($6,500) and insurance/penhospital care. That is not the case in sions ($5,400) than on health care ($3,300), other countries, where well-to-do citizens and slightly less on entertainment ($2,600). often seek care abroad in the U.S. But, when our child or parent gets sick, Many Americans do the same when trav- we demand limitless care – “money is no elling – two recent examples: a friend fell object.” When making health care decisions and fractured a shoulder while vacationing in for our families, we want the best treatment, Italy – but chose to fly to New York for cor- the most expensive implant and any extra rective surgery; another needed emergency test that could possibly help.

replacements and 89 days for hip replacement surgery. A hospital CEO in Buffalo told me about a steady volume of Canadians who paid out-of-pocket for care in upstate hospitals rather than wait months for free care at home.

My friend’s uncle living in Austria had kidney failure. Life-saving hemodialysis is not made available to 84 year olds there. Fortunately for us, Medicare covers dialysis for people of all ages. America could save a fortune by rationing medical care, but, to me, that is fundamentally wrong. All of us who work in the American health care system want to provide the best possible treatment to every patient.

The federal Affordable Care Act (A.C.A.), a.k.a. Obamacare, presses doctors and hospitals to collaborate to control utilization and improve quality. Simultaneously, the Federal Trade Commission continually blocks both

hospital and physician group mergers, including one in Westchester last year.

The single greatest failure of the Affordable Care Act is not addressing Tort Reform. Caps on noneconomic damages in the 13 states without them would save $1.4 billion. Excessive litigation and waste in the current tort system increases health care spending by $124 billion per year, which is enough to cover the uninsured – without harming doctors, hospitals, or patients.

Hospitals successfully do their share to control costs, e.g., shortening inpatient stays, implementing electronic medical records and reducing readmissions. My hospital provided $25 million in charity care and community service in 2012 alone. But, remember that patient care is personal – delivered one patient at a time and is very labor intensive. A simple X-ray requires two different caregivers while surgery requires five staff dedicated to one patient for hours.

Nonetheless, Obamacare extracts tremendous cuts on hospitals – $80 million for my hospital over the next 10n years.

Obese Americans spend 42 percent more on health care than normal-weight Americans.

The national cost of obesity, estimated at $147 billion, is substantially avoidable.

In Westchester, 12.3 percent of adults smoke, fewer than the statewide average. But, a recent study reported that smoking employees cost $6,000 a year more than staff who don’t. Statewide, health care costs attributable to smoking are $8.1 billion, with $5.4 billion paid by Medicaid. Also substantially avoidable.

If health care costs are a concern, what can you do?

• Take personal responsibility for the things you control: smoking, obesity, visiting skin cancer stores (a.k.a. tanning salons).

Eat less, eat wisely and exercise more. Get an annual physical exam.

• Sign your health care proxy and share it with your family. Put limits on the treatments you permit. State your desire for an early referral to Hospice when your time comes.

• Tell your state Assembly member and senator that you support Tort Reform in New York, despite the Assembly leadership’s relentless opposition.

If we all act individually, we can improve our own health and the health of our communities. Working together, we can substantially reduce avoidable health care costs and improve the quality of life.

feds subsidize nursing student loans

ercy College in Dobbs Ferry has been awarded a $247,719 federal grant to counter the nation’s nursing shortage by aiding the development of teachers in the profession.

The grant is from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ nurse faculty loan program, which aims to increase the number of qualified nursing faculty at the nation’s colleges and universities so as to

train more students to enter the field. The grant award was announced by U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, the senior Democrat on the House appropriations committee whose congressional district includes parts of Westchester and Rockland counties.

Mercy College officials said the grant will be used to make loans to help registered nurses completing their graduate education to become qualified nurse faculty. Loan recipients who go on to become full-time faculty at

an accredited school of nursing may cancel 85 percent of the loan over four years.

“Every day, nearly three million nurses work on the frontlines of our nation’s health care system. In order to meet growing demand, we need to increase the number of young people who become nurses. We can only do that if we have the educators to train them,” Lowey said in a press release.

Concetta M. Stewart, interim president of Mercy, said the federal financial support “helps

increase the number of nurse educators who wish to pursue faculty positions, addresses the nursing shortage, locally and nationally, and helps meet the need to increase access to health care by developing and retaining a diverse, culturally competent health workforce.”

The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics last year reported that registered nursing is one of the leading growth occupations that will add jobs in this decade.

Vassar med center earns recoGnition

VassarBrothersMedicalCenterinPoughkeepsie earned the Silver Medal of Honor for Organ Donation and Transplantation for the second time in three years.

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials presented awards to 404 hospitals, 38 organ procurement organizations and 174 transplant programs.

Hospital representatives are awarded for reaching national goals for donation with a rate of 75 percent or more collaborative conversion rate and a 10 percent or higher donation after circulatory determination of death, meaning 3.75 or more organs transplanted per donor or greater.

“This award is possible because of all the hard work and dedication our team has to bringing the ‘gift of life’ to so many,” said Janet Ready, president of Vassar Brothers Medical Center, in a press release. “Our physicians, nurses, and staff realize the importance of this life-saving measure, and make it a goal to educate the public about the importance of becoming an organ donor through a variety of efforts all year long. We are very proud to have received this award.”

Medication to control my reflux is good. Advanced surgical techniques to cure it are exceptional.

Exceptional care for reflux means innovative treatments that go beyond symptom control to a cure. Ask Mary Jane. She thought she would have to go to the city to get the most advanced treatment for reflux. But when she met one of the region’s most accomplished gastroesophageal specialists – at White Plains Hospital – she knew she was in the best hands. Her surgeon was the first in the area to perform a noninvasive procedure that can cure gastrointestinal esophageal reflux disease (GERD), a leading cause of esophageal cancer. Just two days after surgery, Mary Jane was back on her feet, reflux-free and feeling great.

Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, now through Aug. 3 is presenting an exhibit titled “Amusing the Muse” at the Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main St., Narrowsburg.

The exhibit features drawings by Richard Gubernick, who was born, raised and educated in the shadow of Yankee Stadium.

Gubernick attended youth classes at the Museum of Modern Art, received a Bachelor of Science degree from Buffalo State and earned an MFA from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. He subsequently taught painting for more than 25 years at Buffalo State. In recent years he has concentrated on drawing with ink on acrylic backgrounds.

“I begin a drawing by placing automatic random images of varied sized shapes dispersed within an oval,” Gubernick said. “The aim of this process is to see what simple groupings and accumulations of marks, accomplished mainly by thin pen lines, can enable a viewer to feel as if they are a witness to a totally fictional event.”

He lives with his wife Barbara Buckman, also a painter, in Youngsville.

Also on display is “Spatial Pathways,” a two-person exhibition of paintings and mixed media works by Edward Evans and Joyce Pommer. The works will be featured in the Loft Gallery at the same time as “Amusing the Muse” is in the main gallery.

Pommer’s mixed media pieces and Evans’ paintings complement one another as shapes and colors are re-echoed back and forth. A common thread of colors, shapes and movement binds the paintings as areas are heightened while interacting with each other.

Viewing hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For more information about the exhibits, call (845) 2527576 or visit ArtsAllianceSite.org.

He was recently been president and CEO of Spectrum for Living, a New Jersey-based agency that provides housing, medical, clinical, habitation, social and educational services to individuals with developmental disabilities.

15, he volunteered at a community hospital in Wayne, N.J. “It was an eye-opening experience for me. I immediately felt a connection to the health and medical professionals who worked so hard to care for others who were in need. From that point, I knew that somehow I would make health care my chosen profession.” A year later, while still in high school, he joined the hospital staff as a certified nursing assistant.

Prior to joining Spectrum for Living, Marchionda was a public management and health care specialist for the Goldstein Partnership Architects. Before this consulting role, he was employed by the County of Sussex in New Jersey, where he filled a variety of executive roles, including nursing home administrator, long-term care consultant, deputy county administrator and ultimately, county administrator, overseeing 40 departments serving 150,000 residents.
