High Grades Again For Wph

White Plains Hospital has once again received an “A” from health-care watchdog Leapfrog Group in its Spring 2023 Hospital Safety Grades for its continued excellence in providing safe and expert care to its patients. The hospital is one of only 17 hospitals in New York state to receive the highest-possible rating.

White Plains Hospital has received an A each period since the beginning of 2019, making it one of only four hospitals in New York to earn this top grade nine consecutive times.

“Consistently receiving an A from the Leapfrog Group stands as proof that we continue to be assessed as one of the safest hospitals in the country…,” said Dr. Rafael E. Torres, chief quality o cer at White Plains Hospital.

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital-ratings program based exclusively on hospital prevention of medical errors and harm to patients. The grading system is peer-reviewed, fully transpar- ent and free to the public.

High School Students Earn Distinction Interim Ceo Appointed At Hv Charitable Organization

Sisters who happen to also be students at Maria Regina High School in Hartsdale were honored in the 30th annual Auxiliary Board of St. Vincent’s Hospital Westchester’s Youth Awards for their outstanding volunteer service. The sisters: Siena O’Brien, Class of ’25, and Stella O’Brien, Class of ’26, of Yonkers were among a select group of 18 students from throughout Westchester who were congratulated during a recent awards ceremony.

The sisters earned the award for their service initiative “Team Happy Feet,” a thermal sock drive held every November before the onset of winter to supply the homeless with warm footwear during the cold winter months. The effort started as an event for family and friends in 2012 and has since grown with thousands of socks delivered to the “Irish Volunteers for the Homeless” based out of the Aisling Irish Community Center, which distributes socks to the homeless in surrounding Westchester communities.

The Auxiliary Board of St. Vincent’s Hospital Westchester created the Youth Awards in 1993 to honor students from area high schools whose volunteer service best exemplifies the hospital’s mission and to encourage young people to develop lifelong patterns of volunteerism. Honorees are nominated by their high school administration, faculty and/or the students themselves.

A Catholic high school, Maria Regina is where young women are encouraged to achieve academic excellence, empowered to be compassionate, empowered to be compassionate leaders, and enriched with the Spirit to live a life of Charity, Truth, and Service to others.

Six Fertility Specialists Receive Top Doc Honors

Illume Fertility (formerly RMA of Connecticut), a modern fertility practice whose team of experts help individuals and couples grow their families, has announced that six of its board-certified reproductive endocrinologists have been honored with the Top Doc award by Castle Connolly.

The 2023 Top Doc designation was awarded to: Mark Leondires, M.D.; Spencer Richlin, M.D.; Joshua Hurwitz, M.D.; Cynthia Murdock, M.D.; Shaun Williams, M.D.; and Ilana Ressler, M.D.

Top Docs are rigorously selected from among the total population of 900,000 physicians in practice in the United States and represent the top 7% of all U.S. practicing physicians. Castle Connolly’s research methodology is designed to identify doctors who will achieve the best possible health outcomes for their patients. For a reproductive endocrinologist, that translates to successful fertility treatment cycles resulting in pregnancies and babies. All six Illume Fertility physicians are at the top of their field and have the most up-to-date knowledge and skills in the field of reproductive endocrinology, the medical specialty dedicated to fertility treatment.

“As we approach our 20th year in practice, we recognize and are grateful for the trust placed in us by the community we serve,” said Dr. Mark Leondires, founder, medical director and partner at Illume Fertility and Gay Parents To Be®. “Our team continues to approach each patient journey with the highest-level of care and dedication, which is reflected in our 76% success rate and the more than 10,000 babies we’ve helped bring into the world since 2004.”

Illume Fertility, one of the largest fertility clinics and egg donation centers in the region, also o ers egg freezing, oncofertility preservation, and PCOS management to patients as young as 16.
