CMH is now offering a wider range of pediatric surgeries onsite in Astoria.

“Young patients are welcomed with a cuddly companion — Ollie the Otter — to comfort them during their stay at CMH. For an added touch of fun, they may even get to cruise to the operating room in a pint-sized Volkswagen bug," says Beverly Selga, director of Surgical Services.

Our Outpatient Pharmacies in Astoria and Seaside are transitioning to a new computer system designed to strengthen patient safety, improve accuracy, and support more reliable service over time. As our pharmacy team adapts to these new workflows, prescription fill times may be longer than usual.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this brief transition. We anticipate returning to our normal, very short wait times within the next 2–3 weeks.

Thank you for continuing to trust us with your care.
