Growing our footprint with new state-of-the-art facilities

We expanded our footprint, opening Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care—Westchester and new outpatient clinics at White Plains Hospital, Wakefield Campus and Montefiore Heart Failure Center at Nyack Hospital. We are also finalizing plans for a comprehensive heart failure initiative, which will include specialty clinics for amyloid, sarcoid, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension, cardiac intensive care consultations at Nyack Hospital and a new catheterization laboratory. This initiative marks a major step toward advancing Montefiore’ Einsteins footprint and heart failure expertise in New York’s Hudson Valley region.
