Lawn Signs on Display to Support White Plains Hospital’s Healthcare Heroes

April 25, 2020 by Inside Press

The doctors, nurses and entire staff at White Plains Hospital have worked tirelessly to keep our community safe from COVID-19. In response to their heroic efforts, the Friends of White Plains Hospital have spearheaded an initiative to sell lawn signs to members of the community to support the Hospital’s efforts against COVID-19.

The blue and white signs with inspirational messages like “Stay Strong” and “We Love You,” help to rally the community behind our essential healthcare workers and provide much-needed encouragement for those fighting on the front lines.

Evening of March 25, 2020: White Plains Hospital physicians, nurses, nurse technicians and staff received a special message of support from Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Clintons, residents of Chappaqua, sent a generous delivery of pizza from a local Westchester business to feed the frontline workers caring for members of our community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

White Plains Hospital Expands Stroke Treatment Services

March 8, 2019 by The Inside Press

Emerges as County’s First New York State Designated Regional Stroke Center

Stroke is the #1 cause of disability and the #5 cause of death in the U.S. Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke and nearly 800,000 suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year. With stroke, medical experts agree – “Time is brain.”

So, to meet the increasing demand for immediate, life-saving care in Westchester, White Plains Hospital is expanding its already robust stroke treatment program to now include two highly specialized physicians.

Boris Chulpayev, M.D., is leading the expansion of clinical services for patients at The Ruth & Jerome A. Siegel Stroke Center at White Plains Hospital, Westchester County’s first New York State-designated Regional Stroke Center. Both he and his partner, Holly Hensley, M.D.—are neurohospitalists skilled at managing the care of inpatients who have suffered from or who are at risk for a stroke, or who have other neurologic disorders.

“Our patients now have an even higher degree of specialized care to protect them from the damaging effects of stroke,” said Michael Palumbo, M.D., Chief medical Officer and Executive Vice President at White Plains Hospital. “As we expand our Hospital’s advanced neurology capabilities, Dr. Chulpayev and Dr. Hensley will stay at the forefront of the latest evidence-based practices to ensure that our patients receive the highest quality of stroke care.” For the past 13 years, White Plains Hospital has been recognized with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award for success in ensuring that stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines.

In 2018, White Plains Hospital also made the Association’s Target: StrokeSM Elite Honor Roll for meeting stroke quality measures that reduce the time between a patient’s arrival at the Hospital and treatment with the clot-buster tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA, the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat ischemic stroke.If administered within the first three hours after the start of stroke symptoms, tPA has been shown to significantly reduce the effects of stroke and the chance of permanent disability.

December 2, 2018 by The Inside Press

Samantha Lowe, MD, Pediactrics

Drs. Samantha Lowe and Michael Zuckman of White Plains Hospital Medical & Wellness in Armonk see to the well-being of patients at all stages of life. Part of that care includes providing age-appropriate screenings to ensure optimal health and wellness. Here’s a brief but comprehensive summary of the things you should be checking for both for you and your family members through the years.

Need a physician to help you get the screenings you and your family need? Call White Plains Hospital Medical & Wellness in Armonk at (914) 849-7900.

Birth To Pre-Teens

Recommended screenings for newborns and children include testing for congenital problems, monitoring growth and development, hearing and vision screenings, and immunization updates.

Michael Zuckman, MD, Internal Medicine

Teenage Years

Start screening for mental health problems, beginning in the teen years when they commonly start presenting. Updating immunizations; educating teens about the risks of tobacco, drug, and alcohol use; and the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are also all essential.

20s and 30s

Young adults should be monitored for hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol all through routine doctor visits. Cervical cancer screenings for women and testicular cancer screenings for men should also be included.

In The 40s

In addition to continuing screenings begun earlier in life, patients should begin screening for glaucoma. Women should begin screening for breast cancer, and both men and women at average risk should begin screening for colorectal cancer by age 45 according to new American Cancer Society guidelies.

In The 50s

All previous screenings and tests should be maintained, and men should begin screening for prostate cancer.

Ages 60 and older

Regular screenings for all previous conditions should continue and screenings for osteoporosis, depression, and memory problems should begin.

Stroke: Know the Signs. Be Ready to Act.

According to the American Stroke Association, stroke is the #5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S. The risk increases due to high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, diseases of the arteries, or heart disease, or for those who smoke, are obese, or who live a sedentary lifestyle. The good news, though, is that 80% of strokes are preventable.

So, do you know how to spot a stroke? Usually, it comes down to specific symptoms: intense headache, sudden confusion, difficulty finding words, lack of balance, or sudden numbness or tingling on one side of the body. But it’s what you do next – according to Amy Hua, DO, neurologist at White Plains Hospital Medical & Wellness in Armonk – that can mean the difference between complete recovery and lifelong impairment.

“With a stroke, minutes matter and the longer a person waits to get to the hospital, the more chance they have of developing a permanent disability,” says Dr. Hua.

If you suspect a stroke in progress, call 911 immediately. Being treated at a designated Stroke Center can positively impact outcome. White Plains Hospital is home to Westchester County’s first New York State designated Regional Stroke Center, and has been repeatedly recognized by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association for providing the most appropriate stroke treatment, according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence
