Happy holidays, and welcome to the December issue of MD News Long Island. In an era when advanced techniques often allow patients to return home the same day they undergo surgical or other procedures, the importance of convenient, accessible outpatient care cannot be overstated. Westchester Medical Center's new Ambulatory Care Pavilion in Valhalla is meeting that need for patients in the Hudson Valley. Our cover feature focuses on the extensive clinical and technological capabilities of the Ambulatory Care Pavilion, part of a $230 million expansion on the Westchester Medical Center campus. Until recently, lung cancer was typically discovered late in the disease process, when patients stood less chance of successful treatment. Today, low-dose CT screening can detect lung cancer early. Catholic Health Services of Long Island offers this life-saving test. Our infographic covers the basics of screening benefits and eligibility. Whether we're just starting a career or nearing retire- ment, it's always a good idea to keep track of our financial wellbeing. With the New Year upon us, our financial expert, Dave Rao, offers sage advice for making sure we're fiscally healthy going into 2020. And while we're doing checkups, it's a good time to make sure we're on point with regulatory compliance. Lawyer Valerie K. Ferrier, Esq., helps us take stock of what we need to do to keep our sexual harassment training compliant with all relevant laws. In this issue, we also check in with what our neighbor physicians and healthcare organizations are doing—there's so much innovation and good work being accomplished. For example, Lenox Hill Hospita l just opened a new Reproductive, Endocrinology and Infertility Center at its Manhattan campus, while Peconic Bay Medical Center now has a center devoted exclusively to caregivers and their needs.
