“I am proud of the work done at NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital,” Petrower stated. “The hospital is in great hands with Paul Dunphey and the leadership team, and I’m looking forward to leading NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, continuing to be a partner in wellness and providing the best patient care to the Queens community.”
Petrower plans to implement similar enhancements at the Queens facility, including renovations to the maternal and newborn care units and upgrades to the cardiac catheterization labs.
