"Ellis Medicine, through our ongoing restructuring efforts set into motion by state law, has become a leader in health care reform. We've consolidated services to create a stronger, more efficient delivery system, developed an innovative Medical Home at the Ellis Health Center working closely with a number of community partners, and we're positioned for growth in the future with a series of planned capital projects to modernize and expand our facilities. Our recent accomplishments speak volumes about the caliber of our organization's physicians and staff."
"As a native of Schenectady, I can also attest to the wonderful quality of life that makes this community an ideal setting for raising a family. I chose to follow my father’s footsteps into the medical profession, having seen the difference he made in his patients’ lives. I chose to build a life here with my wife, wanting our children to have the same opportunities and experiences that I had growing up in this community."

"Ellis offers so many exciting, new opportunities for physicians given the dramatic change that has taken place in the local health care landscape [Ellis recently began providing the services of the former Bellevue Woman's Hospital and the former St. Clare's Hospitals]. The breadth of services is impressive - from cardiac surgery and the catheterization lab to advanced neurology services and an experienced ED team. Plus, the nursing staff is outstanding, there's strong hospital administrative support and many academic opportunities to pursue."

Chairman of Emergency Medicine at Ellis Hospital

"Administrative support is strong and everyone is friendly and courteous. Ellis gives me the opportunity do what I like doing - caring for patients and specifically caring for obese and overweight patients.
Additionally, when I was called to provide medical care to our soldiers overseas, Ellis Hospital was supportive of my military responsibilities and assisted me with making my transition from civilian life to active duty and back again when I returned.
I like living in Schenectady, because its not too large and not too small. Its conveniently located to New York City. Skiing and other great outdoor activities are easily accessible, as well at fine art events in Saratoga, Albany and even in Schenectady."

"The teamwork among the many disciplines involved in caring for our patients is exceptional at Ellis and this really makes a difference when it comes to enabling us to provide the best care possible. Communication is strong, too. Plus, we have the full support of the hospitals administration - they provide us with the tools and resources we need to do our jobs and do them well."
