Staff Spotlight: Chelsea Darrow

Since 2019, Chelsea Darrow has provided occupational therapy services to both the inpatient and outpatient populations at Sitrin and has enjoyed every minute of it. “I have always loved being an occupational therapist! I can't imagine myself working in any other field.”

Chelsea expresses many reasons why she loves what she does, but the one thing she enjoys the most is how rewarding it feels to make a difference in someone’s life. “Over the years I have spent as an occupational therapist, I have been able to witness and support many people in overcoming significant obstacles to achieve their goals and regain meaningful function. Bearing witness to this human resiliency and getting to play a part in that is such a gift.”

"Chelsea truly exemplifies what it means to be an occupational therapist,” says James Wallace, director of clinical rehabilitation services. “She works diligently to serve both the inpatient and outpatient populations at Sitrin and was instrumental in developing Sitrin’s women’s pelvic health program, expanding access to specialized care for our community. I am both grateful and fortunate to have her as a valued member of Sitrin’s rehabilitation team."

Chelsea and her husband Brett reside in the Adirondack foothills with their three children Lachlan, Blair, and Emma. When not working, she enjoys gardening, skiing, running, and reading.

Thank you to Senator Joe Griffo, Assemblyman Brian Miller and Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon for taking the time to champion stronger funding for high-quality nursing home care in New York State.

Chronic underfunding is threatening access to quality care for older adults and New York families. Eleven New York nursing homes have announced closure since 2024.

Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, New York’s health care continuum depends on a thriving long-term care sector. Please prioritize funding for long-term care in the one-house budget proposals. Nursing homes need half ($750M) of the new Medicaid funding proposed by Governor Kathy Hochul. The future of long-term care and the well-being of thousands of older adults depends on decisive action now.

Officials say 10 non-profit nursing homes in New York state have closed in the last two years.
