This week we celebrated National Trauma Survivors Day with 20+ incredible survivors and their families 💪 Emotions ran high as we reunited these brave individuals with the healthcare heroes who helped save their lives. To see these survivors of severe trauma talk, walk, and share their remarkable recovery journeys was truly inspiring. 🩸 Our on-site blood drive highlighted how donated blood saves lives every day - thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves! We passed our goal! 🌟 Special shoutout to Stephanie Kennedy, RN, who received a well-deserved surprise recognition for her incredible dedication as a trauma care leader at Westchester Medical Center! 🌟 As part of the Trauma Survivors Network, WMCHealth connects survivors with peers who understand their unique journey, creating lasting support systems. We're always here for patients, families, and healthcare providers throughout our region - ready to help in even the most challenging cases. #NationalTraumaSurvivorsDay (fb)

Pools and beaches are opening this weekend. While the weather may not be ideal for swimming just yet, this important safety message applies all season long—and beyond. As a leading provider of healthcare services, we strongly advocate for health and safety prevention. That’s why we’ve partnered with Westchester County Government and Stewie The Duck to share this vital message: ✅ Enroll your children early in certified swim programs ✅ Install proper pool barriers and safety covers at home ✅ Always designate an undistracted adult “Water Watcher” ✅ Use educational tools like Stewie the Duck Learns to Swim Help us reach our goal: ZERO drowning incidents, ZERO families affected. Let’s make swimming safety a priority—together. (fb)
