Maria Simonetti, Director of Community Health Education and Outreach for Northern Westchester Hospital stated, “A health fair is an excellent way to bring people together, engage the community and share health and wellness information in a fun and interactive way. Providing health and wellness education to the community is an essential part of a hospital’s mission and to bring this event to the Millwood community with Phelps Memorial Hospital, our Northwell Health partner in this region, is extremely gratifying,”
Robert Lane, Vice President for Development and External Affairs of Phelps Memorial Hospital stated “Phelps Memorial Hospital has a long-standing commitment to health and wellness in our community. For instance, our mobile medical unit has been involved in and supports many athletic and cultural events in and around our region. We are proud to provide interactive and educational outreach, along with our Northwell Health partner, Northern Westchester Hospital, to our Millwood neighbors at their Community Health Fair”.
New Castle Supervisor Rob Greenstein stated “with the departure of the Millwood A&P there is a void in our community. This Saturday we will fill that void by bringing together two world-class community hospitals for a Community Health Fair. I want to thank Northern Westchester Hospital and Phelps Memorial Hospital for organizing this wonderful event.”
