NWH launches internal medicine residency program

Northern Westchester Hospital located in Mount Kisco has launched an internal medicine residency program. NWH officials called the program “a significant step forward” in its growth as a center for quality medical education.

In its first year, the new residency program will enroll 16 residents from around the country. Categorical residents enrolled in the program will spend three years at the hospital preparing for careers in primary care or hospital medicine, or they may go on to pursue fellowships in internal medicine subspecialties. Preliminary residents enrolled in the program will complete a one-year term before specializing in fields like ophthalmology, dermatology, radiology, radiation oncology, or physical medicine and rehabilitation. The initial year provides a foundational understanding of general medicine before moving on to a specialization.

The program is led by Dr. Gary Stallings II, internal medicine residency program director and medical education director at NWH. Under the supervision of attending physicians, residents will tend to patients who receive care at NWH, as well as the uninsured and under-insured individuals from the surrounding community.

Over the next several years, the program is expected to double in size. In addition to internal medicine, the hospital plans to expand its training programs to include surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry, among other specialties.

Improved classrooms on the way at Increase Miller Elementary 

Dr.Michael Weschler. Marjorie Schiff. Superintendent, Andrew Selesnick. Elizabeth Gereghty. Lorraine Gallagher.and Principal KerryFord at the Increase Miller Elementary School ground breaking.


Their shovels sent clumps of earth - and hopes for the future - flying! The June 24 groundbreaking at Increase Miller Elementary was a milestone in the Katonah-Lewisboro School District's Capitol Improvement Project.

 

Fifth grader Gavin Danelewich; his older brother Owen, an Increase Miller alum and rising freshman at John Jay High School; their dad Jim Danelewich, a member of the Board of Education’s Facilities Committee; and Increase Miller’s Head Custodian Rich Wilson, Jr.—a proud IMES grad—stood at the edge of what would be the school’s new wing and dug in.

 

The work at Increase Miller Elementary commenced on June 27. The result will give the school much needed and improved classrooms and learning spaces. 

 

Assistant Superintendent Lisa Herlihy, Director of Facilities Mike Lavoie, and KG+D President Russ Davidson and Project Manager Rich Markgraf did another round of shoveling. “This is the only groundbreaking of the District’s Capitol Improvement Project,” said Herlihy, “all other renovation is internal.”

 

The first round of shoveling was done by Increase Miller’s Assistant Principal Dr. Michael Weschler, Board member and Facilities Committee Chair Marjorie Schiff, Superintendent Andrew Selesnick, former Board member and Facilities Committee Chair Elizabeth Gereghty, Board member Lorraine Gallagher and Increase Miller Principal Kerry Ford.
