Community Outreach

At Northern Westchester Hospital, we seek to improve and protect the health of individuals in the community through programs that promote healing and wellness.

We are dedicated and caring people who serve our community with concern and compassion.

We continue to develop programs that serve our area. We hope you will take advantage of our services in the community, such as:  

• attend a health screening,
• book a health education program for children and teenagers,
• reserve a healthcare professional to speak at a gathering of your local group, organization or business.

See our NWH Community Outreach programs on the left. We’d be happy to tailor a program with our medical staff to suite your needs.

For more information, please contact Maria Simonetti, Director of Community Outreach at NWH, msimonetti@nwhc.net

Should I get the vaccine?

Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year. This recommendation has been in place since February 24, 2010 when CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted for “universal” flu vaccination in the U.S. to expand protection against the flu to more people.

While everyone should get a flu vaccine each flu season, it’s especially important that certain people get vaccinated either because they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for people at high risk for developing flu-related complications.
