In order to add more convenience for the community, Chappaqua Cleaners and Tailors, now offer free pickup and delivery for their dry cleaning & laundry services. Additionally, they installed a 24-hour drop chute last Wednesday in the side of the building. 

“This provides our patrons with the ability to drop-off cleaning when it works for their schedule, which may be outside of our operating hours.  In order to use the chute, clothes need to be placed in our of our tagged laundry bags,” said Toni Magnotta, proprietor. “We will provide folks with the code for the keypad lock in order to open the chute.  We are receiving positive feedback from customers about the introduction of these new services as additional options.”

Freemark Abbey.
Come and get in on the excitement for these very special wines,
which have garnered the highest ratings ever achieved
by this venerable winery.

“Freemark Abbey remains one of the legendary Napa Valley wineries. In spite of what many feared when it was acquired by the Jackson family of Kendall-Jackson, things have only gotten stronger and more consistent under their leadership, with the continuation of chief winemaker Ted Edwards. Since I have been tasting these wines over the last few years, this has been a consistent producer of high quality wines in both red and white.” Robert Parker

For 125th Anniversary, White Plains Hospital Employees Lead Donation Drives

by

A 125TH Anniversary Staff Effort to Benefit Families, Others Throughout Westchester  

White Plains Hospital nurses Leslie Rodriguez and Melissa Alves-Malaver joined Ellen Albers, White Plains Community Center Assistant Director, and White Plains Mayor Tom Roach to deliver pedometers to the White Plains Senior Center.

Physicians, Nurses, Leadership, Non-Clinical Staff Rally Together to Support Westchester Communities

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (March 12, 2018)— When White Plains Hospital opened its doors in 1893, it did so with the same mission that guides it today—to provide exceptional care, every day to members of the community. In that spirit, as the Hospital marks its 125th anniversary in 2018, its employees are leading a yearlong program to benefit children, seniors and low-income families throughout the Westchester region.

Throughout 2018, Hospital employees will come together to collect and donate items to various local charities as a means of giving back to the community that has long supported its growth and evolution.

The donation drives kicked off in January with the Hospital’s Marketing, Foundation, and Human Resources departments contributing children’s cold weather accessories to the Don Bosco Community Center in Port Chester. Coinciding with American Heart Month in February, the Hospital’s Critical Care Division donated 125 pedometers to the White Plains Senior Center. This month, the EVS, Food Service, and Radiology & Pathology departments will team up to collect new pajamas and books for children to be donated to Pajama Program, a nationwide charity providing new pajamas and books to children in need.

“This donation drive extends our commitment to care that goes beyond the clinical, and lets our employees engage with the community in a way that’s very personal and meaningful,” explains Dawn French, White Plains Hospital’s Vice President of Marketing and Community Relations.

In addition to the charitable donations, a special website dedicated to the anniversary, wph125.org, has been created to showcase the Hospital’s remarkable history. The website features personal reflections and memories submitted by staff, patients and community members. All are invited to share their own White Plains Hospital stories through the microsite by visiting here.

White Plains Hospital was founded when 22 women and three men came together to establish a voluntary, not-for-profit hospital in the rural village of White Plains to care for their fellow residents. Today, the Hospital and its physician practices see more than 200,000 visits annually.

“Our community has been such a vital factor in our success,” said Ms. French.  “Since our beginnings in 1893 as a four-room building to the modern hub of advanced care we are today, the community has supported our growth and helped expand our mission so that we are now able to provide exceptional healthcare to all of Westchester.”

The year’s festivities will culminate with a 125th anniversary gala in September at the Sleepy Hollow Country Club, the site of the organization’s first fundraising gala in 1956.
