Health Quest 2
Dear Community:
Health care is in a period of transformation nationwide. e Affordable Care Act has enrolled
approximately 7 million people, giving many individuals proper access to health care for the
first time. Over the next several months, you will see visible signs of the transformation we are
making at Health Quest hospitals. ese facility changes will allow us to provide better quality
care for you and your family members and will create an environment that will enhance patient
satisfaction.
e biggest example of this change is Northern Dutchess Hospital's construction of a new
$47 million Medical Pavilion. e project will create temporary and permanent jobs, and this
state-of-the-art facility will offer invaluable access to high-tech surgical services; new, private
patient rooms; and the highest level of patient care. Information about the project can be found
at www.NDHMovingHealthcareForward.com.
We are committed to bring you the best and most compassionate health care in the region,
and we thank you for your trust and confidence in our ability to do so.
Sincerely,
Luke McGuinness
President and CEO

A MESSAGE TO OUR READERS
"Dr. [William] Wilson [MD, board-certified Emergency Medicine
Physician] at Northern Dutchess Hospital is the most superior
physician we have EVER seen in ANY hospital. His bedside manner,
compassion and true interest in patients [make him] such a rare gem
to find today. I am very pleased with his treatment of my five-year-old
daughter. It is amazing to know that great doctors are still out there!
I cannot praise him highly enough! ank you, Dr. Wilson!"
