Each day, our colleagues at UHS are working to advance medical care by bringing innovative treatments and advanced certifications to our community. I am proud to share two significant milestones that reflect our unwavering commitment to excellence in patient care.
UHS is proud to lead the way in advanced neurological care as the first healthcare system in Upstate New York to offer Focused Ultrasound for essential tremor. This groundbreaking, incisionless procedure has been life-changing for patients like Richard Kircher, restoring independence and confidence with minimal recovery time—ensuring more patients can access transformative care close to home.
Additionally, we are honored to have earned the prestigious designation as an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center. This certification reflects our team’s dedication to providing the highest level of stroke care—from rapid diagnosis and intervention to rehabilitation and recovery support. With this achievement, we stand ready to deliver lifesaving care to patients facing even the most complex stroke emergencies.
Both milestones demonstrate our commitment to advancing care, improving outcomes and ensuring our patients receive the best possible treatment close to home. I am incredibly proud of our teams for their hard work and dedication in making these advancements a reality.
Together, we are shaping the future of healthcare—delivering innovation, excellence and hope to those we serve.
