Welcome to MD News Central New York. Thank you very much for reading the July-August edition of MD News. Once again, we examine the world-class health care available right here in Central New York. First, we would be remiss if we did not thank all of the physicians, nurses and healthcare professionals of all stripes, who are fighting the ongoing pandemic. Thank you so much for what you do for us all! Our cover story focuses on the maternity program at Crouse Health. In 1887, no hospital in Syracuse offered maternity care or treated children. A group of 14 female community leaders, including Jessie Lansing Crouse (whose family would later fund the hospital enough to change its name), launched the Syracuse Women's Hospital and Training School for Nurses. Crouse herself took the first five patients in her carriage to the home that housed the hospital. A lot has changed in medicine and maternity care in the past 133 years at Crouse, but the commitment to putting mothers first is still priority number one. The physicians, nurses and midwives at the Kienzle Family Maternity Center deliver close to 4,000 babies each year — more than any other hospital in Upstate New York. Crouse is also the Regional Perinatal Center for Central New York. Our interior feature highlights the Women's Services Program at Auburn Community Hospital. Anchored by OB/GYN services with a reputation for excellence, the Women's Health Center at Auburn Community Hospital is fast becoming a comprehensive destination for women's health that encompasses more than maternity services and gynecologic surgery. Established earlier this year, the Women's Health Center reflects a fundamental fact of women's lives: their health and wellness needs change dramatically throughout life, from family planning to prenatal care to menopause and beyond. Caring for women across the lifespan requires diverse services, and that is what the Women's Health Center offers. Once again, I would like to thank all those who come together to create our magazine. Here at MD News, we are dedicated to delivering an engaging reader experience, one with real local relevance. In each issue, we highlight distinguished and accomplished physicians and practice groups. We also provide updates on the latest medical studies, pointers for managing your practice and a unique look at what is happening in the local medical community. We love to receive nominations for our cover stories, current news within your organization and feedback on articles. I would also like to suggest that you visit www.mdnews.com to discover a wonderful resource for health care marketing. We are here to serve the physician and health care community. Enjoy your issue of MD News.
