🌟 Why Choose a Primary Care Physician Over Urgent Care?

Your health deserves more than quick fixes. While urgent care is great for sudden needs, a P*P like Dr. Cathleen Saros offers something urgent care can’t:

✅ Continuity of Care – Dr. Saros knows your history, your goals, and your story. That means smarter, more personalized treatment.

✅ Preventative focus – Instead of just treating today’s issue, she helps you stay ahead of tomorrow’s health needs with screenings, wellness checks, and long-term planning.

✅ Trusted Relationship – With a P*P, you’re not just a chart number. You’re a partner in your own health journey.

✅ Comprehensive Care – From everyday concerns to chronic conditions, Dr. Saros provides holistic, evidence-based care tailored to you.

✅ Flexible and easy-to-schedule appointments, onsite parking, and same-day appointments available.

Urgent care treats the moment. A P*P treats the whole person.

Two Holy Name team members proudly crossed the finish line at this year’s TCS NYC Marathon, each with an inspiring story behind every mile.🏃‍♀️

Heather Harris, a physical therapist at Holy Name for six years, completed her first marathon less than a year after giving birth to her son Kenneth right here at Holy Name. She was motivated by her family — especially her husband Tim, who has been courageously undergoing treatment for Stage IV colon cancer for seven years. Heather dedicated Mile 6 to her Holy Name coworkers and Mile 24 to her patients.

Kamila Yusupov, a clinical oncology pharmacy specialist at Holy Name, found running to be a form of meditation and community. After earning her marathon entry through the NYRR 9+1 program, she postponed her race to welcome her second child — and returned with a new goal: not speed, but strength. She completed the marathon in six hours, carried by resilience and the energy of the crowd.

Congratulations to Heather and Kamila for their incredible achievements and for inspiring all of us with their dedication, passion, and heart.
