Welcome to Neighborhood Brianna Wasik!

Brianna has joined our internal/family medicine department as a physician assistant. She earned her M.S. in physician assistant studies at Le Moyne College. Brianna says her cardiology rotation during her studies was particularly impactful.

"Despite our demanding schedule, my preceptor always took the time to answer patients’ questions and thoroughly explain their conditions, procedures, and treatment options. I was humbled by his commitment to treating the whole person rather than just their medical condition, and it reinforced the importance of compassion and communication in providing excellent patient care."

Sharing Knowledge...

We partnered with the Community Health Care Association of NYS to host a shared learning session, with representatives from other health centers, at Neighborhood Health Center Mattina. The topic was hypertension management. Neighborhood's Senior Director of Quality Frank Smith presented on the benefits of team-based care.

When we work together and share what we've learned as healthcare professionals with one another, we can make progress toward a stronger, healthier community.

Neighborhood Health Center President and CEO Joanne Haefner participated in a forum this week with other healthcare leaders from WNY and the state senators and assemblymembers who represent us in Albany. With billions of dollars in Medicaid cuts looming, the leaders got together at the School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences - University at Buffalo to identify creative solutions to minimize disruptions for patients.

In the group picture, Joanne is second from the left, alongside leaders from the other health centers in WNY and Dr. Nancy Nielsen from the Jacobs School of Medicine. Thank you, Dr. Nielsen and the WNY delegation, for making this forum happen.
