This Thanksgiving, Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health patients received 105 handmade cards filled with hope and encouragement from The College of New Jersey's (TCNJ) Collegiate Recovery Program.

Delivered by Eric Van Eck, recovery and prevention coordinator of the TCNJ Collegiate Recovery Program and TCNJ students, the cards reminded patients they’re supported by a community that truly cares. “Our mission is to bring hope and joy to our patients,” said Yuko Martin, director of allied clinical therapies. “These messages mean the world.”

For TCNJ students, it’s personal. “We want them to know we’re thinking of them,” shared student Gabriella Chiricolo. “It’s a community effort,” added student Laura Near. TCNJ remains a dedicated partner, continually finding meaningful ways to uplift and support patients on their recovery journey.

The Cancer Center at Penn Medicine Princeton Health hosted a beautiful Celebration of Life Service in the hospital’s Education Center. It was an evening dedicated to honoring and remembering loved ones lost to cancer.

As guests arrived, they were invited to choose a black stone from the welcome table and write a loved one’s name or a personal message, a simple, grounding ritual that set the tone for the evening.

Rev. Samuel Yenn-Batah opened the service with a warm welcome, a moment of silence, and later offered a heartfelt closing message. Karen Davison, an oncology nurse navigator, then shared a moving Maya Angelou poem, “When Great Trees Fall,” capturing the deep ache and quiet resilience of loss.

Oncologist Dr. Ramy Sedhom reflected on the privilege of caring for patients and families through some of life’s hardest moments. A choir-like ensemble filled the room with a stunning performance of “O Love,” adding another layer of comfort and reflection.

Thank you to every family who joined us. Your loved ones were held in memory, light, and community.

Penn Medicine Princeton Health is proud to be one of the first hospitals in New Jersey to launch TeamBirth, a powerful, patient-centered approach that transforms the birthing experience.

Supported by the NJ Department of Health, TeamBirth creates regular “huddles” between patients and their care team to review progress, talk through preferences, and adjust plans together. A shared planning board lists everyone involved, including the patient and their support person, so goals, decisions, and next steps are always clear.

The result? Birth experiences that are more collaborative, more transparent, and truly centered around families.

When Mavin Sakwa, RN, first stepped into Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, he wasn’t just starting a new job, he was stepping into a journey. A former nursing assistant and driver, Mavin joined our first-of-its-kind, 12-month hybrid nurse residency program, eager to grow and explore.

“Working with nurse colleagues who are so passionate about their jobs has motivated me to join them,” Mavin said. “I’m gaining hands-on medical-surgical skills while still pursuing my interest in psychiatric nursing.”

Through rotations in medical neurological oncology and Princeton House Behavioral Health’s inpatient psychiatric unit, Mavin, and all of our new nurses, gain the broad experience and confidence they need to thrive, building a strong foundation for a meaningful career in nursing.

When patients come to the Penn Medicine Princeton Health Shoulder Center, they often meet two people who make all the difference: Adrien and Nikha.

Nurse practitioner Adrien Heller and nurse navigator Nikha Parma work hand in hand to make each patient’s journey as smooth and supported as possible. Adrien provides expert clinical care from assessments and pre/postoperative management to prescribing medications and monitoring recovery in close collaboration with the orthopedic surgeon. Meanwhile, Nikha is the steady guide by each patient’s side, coordinating care, providing education, and ensuring every question is answered along the way.

Their teamwork helps create the kind of exceptional experience that earned the Penn Medicine Princeton Health Shoulder Center the Joint Commission Disease-Specific Certification in Shoulder Arthroplasty, a recognition of the team’s commitment to quality, safety, and patient-centered care.

When the Eatontown Outpatient team at Princeton House Behavioral Health chose their employee of the quarter, they couldn’t pick just one. Instead, they honored everyone because every therapist, nurse, front desk team member, advanced practice nurse, and psychiatrist has played a vital role in keeping care exceptional and operations seamless.

When challenges arose, this crew showed what true teamwork looks like: stepping up for their patients and for each other, sharing responsibilities, staying flexible, and never compromising on compassion. Their resilience, collaboration, and heart embody what Princeton House Behavioral Health is all about.

We're proud of the Eatontown Outpatient team for their extraordinary dedication to serving our community!

Together, we walked to raise awareness about the importance of heart health and empower more people to take simple, life-saving steps like learning CPR and making heart-healthy choices every day.

When Ronnie Recchia suddenly lost the use of his leg, his game (and life) changed overnight. That’s when Barb Kutch, a skilled physical therapist at Penn Medicine Princeton Outpatient Rehabilitation Center in Plainsboro, stepped in. With her deep expertise and compassion, she helped guide Ronnie through recovery, from paralysis and pain to strength and motion.

Behind Barb was an entire team of rehab and neurology experts who uncovered the real cause: a high-grade lymphoma that had gone undetected. Their quick action and coordinated care saved Ronnie’s life and got him back on the pickleball court where he belongs.

The Outpatient Rehabilitation Center in Plainsboro, which is hosting an open house on November 12, offers specialized programs for every level of activity including golf swing, running, and pickleball assessments all supported by an expert team in a newly expanded physical therapy space designed to help patients move, strengthen, and thrive. http://spr.ly/61847370G

For Dr. Leonid Emerel, a thoracic surgeon with Penn Medicine Princeton Health, believes building trust and understanding is as important as the surgery itself. He believes in treating each patient as a whole person, taking the time to listen, explain, and guide every step of the journey.

Dr. Emerel's dedication, compassion, and expertise bring comfort and confidence to the patients he treats, turning often complex care into a truly human experience.

As one patient said: "Dr. Emerel's calm, friendly manner helps me feel less anxious and think more clearly about my complicated medical problems."
