Every Minute Counts: Transforming Emergency Care
Every 20 minutes someone is in need of care in the Emergency Department. That could be you, a loved one, a neighbor, or a friend.

“For many, the ED is their first experience with Garnet Health Medical Center. We want that experience to reflect all the quality work that goes on in our community hospital.” - Robin Brennan-Seibel, RN

24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year…
No matter the time, season, or holiday, the Emergency Department at Garnet Health Medical Center is committed to providing patients with the very best in emergency medical care. Whether it be an accident, life-threatening injury, or medical emergency, our Emergency Department stands as the first line of defense for saving lives and making a difference in almost every patient that comes through Garnet Health Medical Center’s bay doors. It is vital for Garnet Health Medical Center’s Emergency Department to always be prepared to serve the needs of our community. Through our Every Minute Counts campaign, you can help Garnet Health Medical Center transform emergency care for our region’s residential and commercial population. Our hospital, and our patients, need the support of our communities to continue to bring the very best in emergency medicine to the Hudson Valley region.

“In trauma care, the first 10 minutes - the platinum 10 minutes - are often the most critical. That is why as the trauma surgeon - all of the care - has to be delivered as soon as the patient arrives in the Emergency Department.”

Mohammad Siddiqui, MD, MBA, FRCS, FACS
Attending Trauma Surgeon

“As I begin my 19th year in nursing, I reflect with deep gratitude on a career that has shaped who I am. From the Pediatric ICU to the Emergency Department and flight nursing, each role has challenged me, strengthened me, and reaffirmed my commitment to compassionate, skilled care. Earning my CEN in 2015 marked an important milestone, but the true honor has always been the privilege of serving others in their most vulnerable moments. I am proud to be a nurse, humbled by the trust placed in me, and grateful to continue serving my community with dedication and heart.” – Tanya Gushin

"Nursing is a career built on service and responsibility as we are entrusted with human lives, safety, comfort, and dignity. It is emotionally demanding work but deeply meaningful. We are driven by empathy and a commitment to support people during life’s most critical and meaningful moments. I can think of no other career as rewarding as nursing.” – Stephanie Martir

“Occupational Health nursing is a unique opportunity and privilege that allows me to help healthcare workers prioritize their own well-being. Safe and healthy employees impact patient care in a positive way. Caring for employees is a win-win for everyone. It is very rewarding to follow an employee's journey back to the work they miss. This was never more evident than during the pandemic. I am humbled to help healthcare workers continue do what they do best, care for people.” – Angel Beebe

Call to action!

We are in need of a few specific items that would truly help brighten our patients’ days.

Did you know during physical therapy, adult patients rebuild strength and coordination with simple puzzles, coloring books, and Legos? These items help build fine motor skills, focus, and hope after surgery, injury or stroke.

In our behavioral health unit, crosswords puzzles give patients a way to engage their minds.

For our younger patients facing diagnostic imaging or outpatient visits, a cuddly stuffed animal or Matchbox car eases fear and brings comfort, turning scary moments into brave ones.

We urgently need donations of:
• Puzzles (500 pieces and under)
• Coloring books & crayons
• Small Lego sets
• Crossword books
• Stuffed animals
• Matchbox cars

Even one item makes a huge difference in someone's experience.
Please reach out to Pam or Jackie at the Garnet Health Foundation for more information on how to donate.

Our Story

Garnet Health Medical Center is at a critical crossroad in its journey to medical excellence. Already providing a new state-of-the-art acute care facility, hospital leadership now begins its first expansion program. This initiative incorporates improvements in its outpatient services, integration of satellite oncology programs into a single location for diagnostic, treatment and support services and the expansion of sub-specialty care and academic medicine. It is during this very time that the hospital has filed with confidence for Magnet Hospital Designation and Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award. The Magnet Recognition Program® recognizes healthcare organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice. Developed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), Magnet is the leading source of successful nursing practices and strategies worldwide. A newly released study* comparing 34 U.S. health care organizations that received the Baldrige National Quality Award with their 153 geographically closest competitors found that the Baldrige Award recipients matched or exceeded their competitors’ measures of health care quality and outperformed them in measures of favorable patient experience.
