The New York-based healthcare system was rated the No.¤2 nonprofit, earning high marks in each of the six categories Militar y Friendly used to rate the more than 200 companies it considered. Nor thwell doubled its hiring goals and provided employment oppor tunities to more than 400 veterans in 2016, according to Juan Serrano, Director, Nor thwell Health's Militar y and Veterans Liaison Ser vices. Through programs and advocacy, Nor thwell also touched the lives of approximately 10,000 veterans in the greater New York City region. Militar y Friendly weighed companies based on six criteria: Hiring and Onboarding, Oppor tunity and Advancement, Culture and Commitment, Suppor t and Retention, and Policies and Compliance, along with Recruiting and Sourcing. Nor thwell Health greatly exceeded the standard in each. On Jan. 11,2017, Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center (BMHMC) celebrated the relocation of the Brookhaven Women's Imaging Center. BMHMC President and CEO Richard T. Margulis, along with BMHMC staff and physicians, were on hand to officially cut the ceremonial ribbon marking the official launch of the new state-of-the-art facility, now located at 100 Hospital Road, Suite¤100, in Patchogue, directly across the street from Brookhaven Hospital's main campus. The Women's Imaging Center is an award-winning ACR Breast Imaging Center of Excellence. This relocation will provide ease of access alleviating some stress to those patients utilizing our services. Communication is critical to high-quality, efficient care, and physi- cians, nurses and patients benefit from close cooperation. To facilitate that, a new app has been rolled out throughout Cathiolic Health Services (CHS). Uniphy Health provides a secure, cloud-based platform to access information, commu - nicate and collaborate in real time. A major component of the mobile app is HIPA A-compliant, two-way text messaging within the network, plus the following functionalities: • A searchable physician director y • A consult on a patient or clini - cal question • Photo sharing, which allows for re- mote consults and diagnoses • Message deliver y and "read receipt" confirmation • Organizational news updates and aler ts CHS's goal is to enhance patient care by connecting as many providers as possible through this app for more efficient, coordinated care. In an effor t to honor a former employee and continue a histor y of charitable contributions, representatives from E W Howell recently made a $10,000 donation to the neurosurgical program at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center. The company raised the funds through an annual golf tournament and made the donation in memor y of John Bergin, a former EW Howell employee who passed away on May 30, 2016. Bergin's family was extremely grateful for the expert care he received from his neurology team at Good Samaritan. Their gratitude was the driving force behind the donation from EW Howell. ■ Pictured (L-R) Christopher Schneider, BMHMC Senior Director of Radiology; Elizabeth Martin, MD, Women's Imaging; David Mangiameli, DO, Surgical Oncologist and Program Director, Brookhaven Breast Health Services; Lisa Rose, Chair, BMHMC Board of Directors; Robert Schwarz, Trustee, BMHMC Board of Directors, Arlene Sussman, MD, Medical Director, Women's Imaging; Michele Knapp, Trustee, Board of Directors, Eric Russo, Trustee, Board of Directors; Richard T.
