Times Union: Medical data seen as key to improving quality, reducing cost

Officials of Northeast Health, St. Peter’s Health Care Services and Seton Health today began sharing with their internal staff and medical staffs a preliminary “blueprint” of the new health care system that is expected to result from a merger of the three organizations later this year.

Michael Finegan, president of acute care for St. Peter’s Health Partners, was interviewed by the Times Union for its story on efforts to revitalize the Samaritan Hospital – Albany Memorial Campus.

St. Peter’s Health Partners, WNYT-NewsChannel 13 and the Times Union have once again teamed up to “uncover” and honor youth in the Capital Region whose volunteer work touches the lives of our residents and improves the quality of life in this area. The program, “13 Kids Who Care,” is now in its 18th year of recognizing truly exceptional kids who cast a bright light on our future. Meet Benjamin Colley, an 11th grader at Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School. Ben’s volunteer efforts with the Boy Scouts of America truly set him apart as a “kid who cares.” Click HERE to see Ben’s story.
