Lung cancer screening can save lives, but many people aren’t sure who qualifies or what to expect.

Join a free, brief online information session with GO2 for Lung Cancer to learn the essentials:
• Who should consider screening
• What happens during the exam
• Why early detection matters

These sessions are offered multiple times each week now through May 1, making it easy to attend from anywhere. Lung cancer screening is quick, painless, and designed to detect cancer early, when treatment is most effective.

While most of us were hunkered down at home during the blizzard, our hospital teams were hard at work, showing up, staying late, and doing whatever it took to care for our patients. ❄️💙

To our physicians, nurses, clinicians, support staff, facilities teams, and everyone behind the scenes: thank you for your unwavering dedication, compassion, and resilience. Your commitment, even in the harshest conditions, makes a difference every single day.

We are deeply grateful for all that you do.

We are proud to celebrate a major milestone at Good Samaritan Hospital, part of the WMCHealth Network — completing our 500th WATCHMAN™ procedure, helping patients with atrial fibrillation reduce stroke risk without long-term blood thinners.

This achievement reflects the strength of a comprehensive cardiac program delivering advanced care close to home for Hudson Valley residents.

“This milestone speaks to the strength of our cardiovascular program and our ongoing commitment to bringing leading-edge therapies to the patients we serve,” said Dr. Gunjan Shukla. “It reflects a commitment not only to clinical excellence, but to continually expanding what is possible in heart care.”

Our team provides a full spectrum of services, including structural heart interventions (WATCHMAN™, MitraClip™, PFO closure, TAVR), comprehensive electrophysiology, open-heart surgery, and advanced coronary care. National recognitions include America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention and Five-Star ratings for coronary interventional procedures for two consecutive years (2025-2026).

Since launching the program in 2021, more than 500 procedures have been performed with outstanding outcomes and complication rates well below the national average.

Congratulations to our entire cardiac team on this remarkable accomplishment!
