Dan Senkiw PUBLISHER Mid Hudson ............................................... dansenkiw@mdnews.com 914-967-6565 .............................................. @MDNewsMetroNY Welcome to MD News Mid Hudson. The comprehensive oncology care that Vassar Brothers Medical Center is providing to patients right here in the Mid Hudson Valley is the focus of our cover feature in this issue. Vassar Brothers Medica l Center has significantly expanded its roster of highly trained, experienced cli- nicians, as well as the scope of services it provides to cancer patients. As a result, patients can access the full spectrum of cancer care without incurring the expense and navigating the other logistical di„culties involved in traveling outside the communities in which they live and work. I hope you enjoy reading about this major advance in locally available care — and about the specialists and subspecialists who make it possible. Also in this issue, our special clinical section highlights growing evidence of bariatric surgery's positive eˆects on physical activity, and we examine research indicating that even moderate dietary changes can markedly reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, we update recent area happenings in medicine in our People in the News and Local News sections. The advanced treatments your organization oˆers and the experienced clinicians who perform them can be an important resource for referring physicians throughout the region.
