When one of the largest blizzards on record hit last week, one Bethpage business owner stepped up to the plate …literally. After St. Joseph Hospital President Joe Manopella reached out for help feeding 80 frontline team members working through the storm, Gus Tsiorvas of the Embassy Diner didn’t hesitate. He prepared and delivered a full hot breakfast spread — pancakes, French toast, eggs, hash, sausage, bacon, and potatoes — and refused to accept payment. His generosity ensured staff could stay focused on caring for patients during dangerous weather conditions.

Today, hospital leadership, frontline staff, and Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino formally thanked Gus for his extraordinary kindness and community spirit and recognitionized the St. Joe’s staff for the great care they continued to deliver despite the challenging storm.

In the toughest moments, it’s neighbors like Gus who remind us what community is all about.

❄️ FROSTBITE WARNING from our Hyperbaric/Wound Care directors, Dr. Alan Slepian and Dr. Aryeh Schulman.

The snow may be beautiful, but it brings freezing temperatures — and with this week’s forecast not looking promising, frostbite is a serious risk. Remember, frostbite doesn’t discriminate. It can affect anyone exposed to extreme cold.

⚠️ Prevention Tips:

🧥 Add layers: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer, insulating mid-layers, and a waterproof/windproof outer layer.

🧤 Protect extremities: Cover up with warm hats, scarves, gloves, multiple layers of socks, and waterproof boots.

đź’§ Stay dry: Avoid cotton (it holds moisture) and change out of wet clothing immediately.

🏠 Limit exposure: Stay indoors as much as possible.

🚶 Stay active: Keep moving to promote healthy blood flow (but avoid sweating).

🚫 Avoid alcohol & smoking: They restrict blood vessels, reduce circulation, and decrease your skin’s sensitivity to cold.

🚨 Symptoms to Watch For:

• Skin color changes: Early signs include pale or reddish-purple skin. Advanced cases may appear white, grayish-yellow, or waxy. Severe frostbite can cause skin to turn hard and black (a sign of tissue death).

• Sensation changes: Cold, tingling, stinging, or pain at first. More serious cases may result in numbness or loss of feeling.

• Skin texture changes: Skin may feel firm or hard. Blisters after rewarming can indicate moderate to severe injury.

Please take precautions, check on vulnerable family members and neighbors, and stay safe during this cold stretch. đź’™

Even though we’re not out of the woods yet, we want to share important safety reminders from Dr. John Mathew, Director of Emergency Medicine at St. Joe’s, before folks head out to shovel after the blizzard.

During major winter storms, emergency departments see a surge in preventable injuries — mostly from overexertion, falls, and cold exposure.

Before you head outside:

🔹 Shovel safely. Snow removal is extremely demanding. Take frequent breaks and don’t overdo it. If you feel chest pressure, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue — stop immediately and call 911. Your driveway is not worth your life.

🔹 Watch for ice. Falls can lead to serious head and hip injuries, especially for older adults. If you hit your head and take blood thinners, get evaluated — even if you feel okay.

🔹 Dress for the cold. Wear layers and keep exposed skin covered. Frostbite and hypothermia can happen faster than you think.

🔹 Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never run generators indoors or in garages. Never use ovens or portable heaters to heat your home. Make sure carbon monoxide detectors are working.

🔹 Snowblower safety. Always turn it off completely before clearing a jam — and use a tool, never your hand.

🔹 If you don’t need to drive, stay home. Four-wheel drive helps you go — it does not help you stop.

The bottom line: slow down, know your limits, prepare properly, and check on elderly neighbors.

Most blizzard-related injuries are completely preventable. Let’s keep each other safe.

This week, we had the honor of seeing a 102-year-old patient we recently implanted with a pacemaker — and he was all smiles, feeling great and thriving.

Here’s a closer look at what our recently opened EP Lab offers:

❤️ Pacemakers have thin electrical leads placed inside the heart and connected to a small generator under the skin in the chest. They monitor the heart rate and, if it drops too low, deliver a gentle electrical pulse to keep the heart beating at a steady rhythm. The battery typically lasts about 10 years, and when it runs low, the device can be replaced during a routine procedure.

❤️ Leadless Pacemakers: about the size of an inch, these innovative devices are implanted entirely inside the heart — no chest incision, no visible device under the skin. Inserted through a vein in the groin, this minimally invasive option is ideal for certain patients and offers powerful pacing without traditional leads.

❤️ Implantable Defibrillators (ICDs): similar in appearance to pacemakers (just slightly larger), ICDs not only pace the heart but can also detect life-threatening rapid rhythms and deliver a shock to restore a normal heartbeat — preventing sudden cardiac arrest and saving lives.

Under the leadership of Dr. Aviram Hochstadt, Director of EP, our team is advancing heart care — one heartbeat at a time.

Today, Ash Wednesday, begins the Season of Lent, a time of spiritual growth through prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

It’s Heart Health Month … and we’re setting the rhythm! Our Electrophysiology (EP) Lab is pacing the way with pacemaker placements and EP studies that bring advanced heart rhythm care closer to home. When hearts get a little off-beat, this EP team runs the sound check. As the perfect complement to our cardiac cath lab, we make sure heart care never misses a beat. We’re proud of this powerhouse team for delivering next-level care to our community. Help us show them some love❤️

It’s PS I Love You Day 💜

The team at St. Joe’s showed up and showed out in purple to raise awareness for mental health and stand against bullying.

Today is all about kindness, gratitude, and checking in on your people. A compliment. A thank-you. A simple “How are you?” It goes a long way.

You are loved. You matter. And we’re proud to wear it. 💜
