MESSAGE FROM SBH CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER
Dear Colleagues,
I’m very proud to introduce the summer 2017 edition of the “SBH
Physician Magazine.” There are no lazy summer days around SBH this
year as you will read about some very exciting work being done by our
medical staff. Additionally, we said a fond farewell to our graduating
residents and welcomed a wonderful group of new physicians. Take a
moment to review all the great accomplishments of our resident staff
and read about their exciting plans as they embark on the next steps in
their career.
We recently have introduced some amazing new technologies at SBH,
including 3-D Mammography, and new pharmacy software to help
eliminate medication errors. These tools enhance our ability to provide
the highest quality of care to our Bronx community. Speaking of quality,
have a look at the update on our terrific achievement, scoring first in
the HealthFirst Quality program for 2016. Also, read about the first-
ever Bronx Emergency Medicine Simulation Competition pitting SBH
EM residents in a patient care simulation battle against other local EM
residency programs.
Finally, we celebrated National Doctor’s Day recognizing the
outstanding contributions of several SBH physicians. The celebration
was highlighted by Dr. Judy Berger receiving the 2017 Ronald L.
Ciubotaru Physician-to-Physician Award. It was truly a moving
ceremony as Dr. Berger’s colleagues celebrated her amazing
accomplishments during her career at SBH. It reminded all of us
what it means to be an SBH physician.
Sincerely,
Eric Appelbaum, DO, FACOI
Chief Medical Officer
