This summer issue of My Health Quest is
full of information designed to help evaluate
your family's health needs and provide tips
for optimal health. Hear from experts across
the Health Quest system about key factors
in a good night's sleep (page 9) and the simple
changes you can make throughout the day to
feel great. Our summer safety article (page 5)
reviews summertime emergencies and our
services ready for you any time—day or night!
The integration we offer throughout Health Quest—Northern Dutchess Hospital, Putnam
Hospital Center, Vassar Brothers Medical Center, Health Quest Medical Practice and affiliate
locations—can be seen through initiatives, such as our patient portal, electronic medical records
and physician partnering programs. One such forward-thinking model, the Health Quest
Cardiovascular Institute (page 6), puts collaboration of heart disease specialists at the center of
patients' care, resulting in the same, high-quality approach no matter where patients receive care
within the system.
Many other collaborative initiatives throughout our family of providers share the goal of
giving our patients the right care they need at the right location, every time. So blend up our
summertime smoothie (page 3), sit back and enjoy reading about all we have to offer you and
your family for a healthy summer and beyond.
Yours in good health,
MANAGING EDITOR
ACCOUNT MANAGER
