Dr. Michelle Greiver: Leader in primary care research
As the new Gordon F. Cheesbrough Research Chair in Family and Community Medicine, Dr. Michelle Greiver is tasked with conducting and championing research that will benefit the community NYGH serves, and beyond.
Building a culture of compassionate communication
At NYGH our goal is to ensure that when patients and families come through our doors, they feel compassion, well cared for, and respected.
This is why we have adopted Communicate with Heart, an industry-leading practice on effective communication and relationship building designed by the Cleveland Clinic.
Improving the transition from paediatric to adult diabetes care
Our diabetes centre staff and Endocrinologist Dr. Vikram Chandurkar have developed a new pilot transition clinic aimed at improving care for young adults aged 17 to 25.
Our vision for patient-centred care
Driving improvements in high-quality, safe, patient-centred care is what every staff member, physician and volunteer strives to do each day at NYGH. Our hospital recently approved an extension of the current strategy into 2019. Find out about some of the projects we will be focusing on.
