Miracle on the Hudson!
Palisades Medical Staff Hailed as “Heroes”
by Governor Corzine and Flight Passengers
January 15, 2009, was anything but an ordinary day along
the Hudson River waterfront.
Just minutes after takeoff
from LaGuardia Airport, US
Airways Flight 1549 was forced
to make an emergency landing in
the Hudson River near Port
Imperial in Weehawken, approximately one mile south of
Palisades Medical Center. The
crash landing was coined The
Miracle on the Hudson by New
York Governor David Paterson

training and procedures.
New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine visited
Palisades just hours after the crash to check on
the passengers who were being treated in the
Emergency Department.
During his visit, Governor Corzine commended Medical Center personnel for their efforts during the crisis. He also acknowledged the heroic
efforts of New York Waterway’s ferry workers
and local fire and rescue personnel.
For several days following the crash, passengers who were treated at Palisades were featured
on national television news programs including
ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS’s The
Morning Show. During their interviews, they consistently praised Palisades’ staff for providing
high-quality and compassionate care throughout
their stay.

Resident of Englewood Cliffs
The Miracle on the Hudson shined a worldwide spotlight on the heroic efforts and caring
nature of the people in our local communities.
Clearly, the efforts of the emergency responders
and ferry workers served as a stellar example to
the world of what it means to lend a helping hand
to those in times of crisis.
At Palisades, the emergency response and care
following the plane’s crash landing in the Hudson
also showed exactly how our Medical Center is
prepared to effectively handle disaster situations.
The kind words of the passengers treated at
Palisades also reflect our everyday work to highquality, compassionate healthcare to every patient
who comes through our doors. Our Medical Staff
and employees truly deserve the many accolades
that they have received for their incredible work.
The Miracle on the Hudson also illustrated
what countless supporters of the PMC Foundation
have told me during the past five years. Our loyal
friends have consistently said that they choose to
make generous donations to support Palisades
because it is a reliable and trustworthy institution
that will “always be there to help people in
difficult times.”
The generous philanthropic support that we
receive from thousands of local residents and
businesses is what makes Palisades the premier
healthcare provider for our community. Pledges
to our 30th Anniversary Campaign have now surpassed $5 million. I encourage you all to continue
to support our 30th Anniversary Campaign to
ensure that the Medical Center and the Harborage
are always here to care for our neighbors.

Institute of Nursing Honors
Maria E. Bornia, MD
The Institute of Nursing presented its
prestigious APPLE Award – Acknowledging
Physician Partners: A Liaison for Excellence
to Maria E. Bornia, Vice President of
Medical Affairs at Palisades. The award
honored Dr. Bornia’s work in supporting
nurses and for being a tireless patient
advocate. Dr. Bornia has been a true visionary and trailblazer throughout Palisades’
30-year history, and she is respected by her
peers for being relentless in her commitment to her patients and best practices.
AACVPR
Certifies
Cardiac Center
The American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation
(AACVPR) has certified Palisades’ Cardiac
Catheterization Center. AACVPR certification verifies that programs at Palisades
meet the essential standards of care to
effectively reduce morbidity, mortality, and
disability from cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases through education, prevention, rehabilitation, research, and
aggressive disease management.
Federal Grant Expands OR
and Same Day Surgery
The U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services’ Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) recently
awarded a $260,685 grant to Palisades
for equipment and technology enhancements that will expand its Operating
Rooms and Same Day Surgery
Department. This critical expansion will
greatly improve capacity and ensure that
more than 13,000 more residents will be
served at Palisades without leaving our
local community to find needed services.
It will also help ensure that Palisades is
better prepared in the event of a homeland security issue in Manhattan.
Breast Cancer Program
Reaches Local Women in Need
Palisades’ Breast Cancer Community
Outreach Program is working to provide a
full circle of breast cancer education and
care to our area’s uninsured and underinsured women. Since the program began in
October 2008, more than 35 local women
have already received free educational
materials, initial breast exams, and mam-
mograms at Palisades. The program has
been made possible thanks to Palisades’
strong partnerships with the Cancer
Education and Early Detection (CEED)
Programs in Hudson County and Bergen
County and generous grant funding
from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure North Jersey.
Bariatric
Medicine
Comes
to Palisades
Led by Stefanie Vaimakis, MD, FACS,
FASMBS, bariatric surgeries are now
offered at Palisades for individuals who
have been unable to achieve significant
weight loss through diet modifications and
exercise programs alone. Bariatric surgery,
also known as weight loss surgery, refers to
the various surgical procedures performed
to treat obesity by modification of the gastrointestinal tract to reduce nutrient
intake and/or absorption. Dr. Vaimakis specializes in advanced laparoscopic techniques and laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
It was a festive holiday season at Palisades as the Medical Staff,
employees and volunteers took some time from their busy schedules to
celebrate their achievements in 2008. Several members of Girl Scout
Troop #2005 from Trinity Reformed Church in West New York also
delivered some holiday cheer while visiting Harborage residents.

“First” Baby Returns!
On September 11, 1978, Steven Montes was the first baby ever
born at the newly opened Palisades General Hospital. Steven,
who now resides in Pasadena, California, recently visited relatives in New Jersey to celebrate his 30th birthday. During his
vacation, he read several newspaper articles about Palisades’
30th Anniversary and decided to visit the campus. He was
extremely impressed with Palisades’ facilities and was amazed at
the growth and community development along the waterfront.
They got a head start…
Jennifer Bailey, DPT; Grace Ricigliano, RN; and John
Nagatsuki, DPT, all have something in common. Each of them
can trace their Palisades experience back to a time when they
each volunteered in the Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
Department. Today, all three work as staff members at
Palisades. Before joining the Palisades staff, John and
Jennifer graduated from UMDNJ with doctorates in Physical
Therapy, and Grace graduated from Felician College’s School
of Nursing.
Women United
The PMC Foundation was one of only five non-profits to be featured during the
Women United in Philanthropy’s (WUIP) 4th Annual Fall Gathering. Several PMC
Foundation and Medical Center staff members were in attendance to discuss
Palisades’ community outreach activities in southern Bergen County. Erin
Brockovich delivered an inspiring keynote address that encouraged attendees to
use their collective power to effect positive change in our local communities.
Learning the Ropes

Marco Velarde, 17, of Cliffside Park, has always
wanted to be a surgeon. During the past year,
Marco has received some great first-hand experience while volunteering at Palisades in the Central
Supply Department. Marco organizes surgical
instruments and delivers them to the OR surgeons.
He has also completed a six-week “Central Service
Technician” introductory course where he learned
about bacteria and how to protect against infections. Marco is now in his senior year at Cliffside
Park High School, is taking all honors courses, and
hopes to be accepted for admission at Columbia
University. We wish Marco the best of luck!
