“Thanks for the superb care I received when I had surgery for my pacemaker battery change. I was so comfortable that when I arrived in the recovery room, I was shocked to learn that my procedure was over. What could have been a stressful experience turned out to be wonderful!”

Healthcare Career Tips
Three employees from Plainview Hospital and Syosset Hospital spoke to Briarcliffe College students last winter to offer advice about pursuing a career in healthcare.
Christopher Mastrantuono, administrative manager at Plainview and Syosset:
• “Networking is vital.”
• “Be mindful of how you carry yourself.”
Lorraine Alfino, human resources business partner at Syosset Hospital:
• “Thinking outside the box is important.”
• “Internships are among the best ways to gain experience.”
Brian Stodart, assistant director of health information at Plainview Hospital:
• “Be flexible, open and available.”
• “You might need to try something that is not exactly what you are looking for, but it can be a good experience as you can show people what you are capable of doing.”
• “Your intelligence might get you hired, but your emotional intelligence will get you promoted.”
