Saratoga Hospital celebrated in May the closing of its capital campaign for surgical and intensive care services.

The campaign began with a $4 million goal that was doubled to $8 million, due to the community’s motivated response to help secure support for burgeoning surgical and critical care volumes, hospital officials said.

 The campaign supported the largest capital project in the hospital’s history—its new Surgical Pavilion and the Marylou Whitney and Desmond DelGiacco, MD, Intensive Care Unit. In total, the five-year campaign raised $8 million toward the total costs that exceeded $32 million.

For people wanting to get in shape and  looking for a comfortable, judge-free zone to do so, Christa Resavy says Burn Boot Camp in Clifton Park is the place. 

She said this fitness arena provides results through a workout that people will want to maintain for life. Originally from Glenville, Resavy is running the Clifton Park location from her North Carolina home. She said she is excited to see the Capital District experience this new take on getting, and staying, in shape.

Resavy said after attending the College of Saint Rose, she met her husband and began traveling across the country for his career. She said throughout various moves, she was able to find friends and connect through exercise programs. After tearing her ACL while in her current location of Raleigh, N.C., she said she began to look around for a place that would allow her to slowly get back into her love of physical fitness. She found a local Burn Boot Camp, and immediately felt it was the perfect match for her.

(Story Updated 9-20-2017 from June 2017 Print Issue)

By Maureen Werther

Richard L. Dennis, DMD, FAGD, of Saratoga Smiles dental practice on 176 Lake Avenue, Saratoga Springs, began implementing a new orthodontic alignment program less than one year ago, and it is rapidly gaining in popularity.

The treatment program is an adult orthodontic aesthetic treatment that has proven effective in straightening teeth and improving overall appearance. While it shares certain similarities with traditional orthodontic procedures, it is less invasive and it uses tooth-colored wires and resin brackets.

Like traditional orthodontics, patients in the Six Month Smiles program see Dr. Dennis every few weeks to change the wires and gauges. Unlike the Invisalign treatment, which has been around for several years and takes much longer to work, Six Month Smiles is true to its name, usually taking between six to eight months.

The other notable difference between Six Month Smiles and traditional orthodontic or Invisalign treatments is cost.

“This procedure costs about half of traditional orthodontics,” said dental hygienist Rachel Lyons, who has been with the practice for nearly ten years. She added that a typical Six Month Smiles treatment program usually costs about $3,400.00.

SUNY Empire State College and SUNY Ulster have formed a new partnership to address the demand for registered nurses in New York state to have completed a bachelor’s degree.

Thanks to the partnership, graduates of SUNY Ulster’s nursing program will transfer seamlessly to SUNY Empire’s RN to BSN program, college officials said.

SUNY Ulster’s nursing graduates also will be able to complete upper-division SUNY Empire RN to BSN courses through a blend of online and face-to-face learning at SUNY Ulster’s campus.

“We can take our nursing program and bring it to Ulster where it’s needed,” said Merodie A. Hancock, president of SUNY Empire. “Our partnership provides a highly regarded, convenient baccalaureate degree option. We’ll share faculty, leverage SUNY Ulster’s facilities, so that students will be able to stay close to their homes, communities and places of employment, complete their BSN and move on with their careers.”

“This is a unique opportunity for registered nurses looking to attain their BSN for career advancement and professional development to do so right here in Ulster County affordably,” said Alan P. Roberts, president of SUNY Ulster. “We are delighted to partner with Empire State College to expand access to this degree, which is in high demand, and feature our partnership as a model for other RN to BSN programs.”

The Wesley Community has acquired  Saratoga Springs-based home care provider Senior Solutions, which will enable the senior services organization to offer in-home care to clients and residents.

The move expands the service offerings of the Wesley Community from its Saratoga Springs campus to a home-based setting, and extends the geographic footprint of the organization from beyond Saratoga and Warren counties to include the adult aging population within the Schenectady area, officials said.

The acquisition also allows the Wesley Community to add another level of service to its continuum of care model, which includes independent and enriched living, short-term rehabilitation and long-term care options for seniors.

“Aging at home is an important priority for many adults and their families. Wesley Senior Solutions provides the senior population with an alternative option beyond the traditional residential care currently available on our campus,” said Wesley Community CEO Brian Nealon. “All of us at The Wesley Community are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care, and this new offering will allow us to bring that same level of service to clients who wish to remain in the comfort of their own home.”

Vent Fitness To Open In Saratoga Springs; Will Have ‘Interval Training’ Classes For Members

Posted onJune 9, 2017
Vent Fitness will soon open at 307 Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs.

By Jill Nagy

At the new Vent Fitness facility in Saratoga Springs members have to share the data collected by their heart-rate monitors. The idea, according to marketing and promotion manager Germaine Wright, is to keep things competitive and to promote “compatibility and camaraderie” and encourage people to “reinvent together.”

The facility, at 307 Broadway, at the corner of Congress Street, is the fifth in the area for Vent Fitness, but the first to feature a studio concept.

Vent has renovated an existing building to provide 4,600 square feet of space. A mid-June “soft opening” is planned with something more celebratory later in the summer. They expect to employ between five and 10 people, including fitness instructors and office staff.

Members will participate in group classes featuring interval training at various levels of difficulty.

Interval training alternates periods of high-intensity exercise with less strenuous intervals. Every student receives a heart-rate monitor and the data is posted on a screen for all to see. Sharing is compulsory, Wright said.

The gym will also have locker rooms and showers, as well as a lounge area, a live DJ to provide music, a shake bar and a retail sales area, selling athletic clothing and gear and other items that might come in handy during a workout.

Mandate For Prescriptions To Be Emailed To Pharmacies Will Improve Safety, Officials Say

Posted onJune 8, 2016November 8, 2017

As New York state shifts away from paper prescriptions, an Albany Medical Center physician said electronic prescribing, or “e-prescribing,” will lead to improved patient safety and a more efficient prescription process.

As of March 27, all prescriptions written in the state must be transmitted electronically from the prescriber directly to the pharmacy.

According to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the requirement is a key component of New York’s I-STOP initiative that is focused on helping curb the abuse of prescription medication throughout the state.

Prescriptions will no longer be handwritten or called into a pharmacy for all medications, including controlled substances, except in rare circumstances.

According to state officials, those limited situations include such things as disasters, and technological or electrical failures. In exceptional circumstances requiring written prescriptions, prescribers must still use official state prescription forms and document the reason for use of the paper script each time. Prescribers with waivers are exceptions to the e-prescribe mandate. Patients seeking the best prices for their medications can still comparison shop before asking their doctor to send their prescriptions to their preferred pharmacy.

According to Dr. Patricia Hale, associate medical director of informatics at Albany Medical Center, the benefits of e-prescribing include:

• Lower risk of errors due to poor handwriting.
