April marks National Minority Health Month — a time to recognize that health disparities are still deeply rooted in communities of color and LGBTQ+ populations, often driven by systemic factors rather than individual behavior. At Nuvance Health, we’re addressing these disparities head-on. Through community partnerships, Food As Medicine programs, culturally informed provider training, and affirming care environments, we’re committed to improving equity in every patient experience. Because health equity isn’t a trend — it’s our responsibility. And it’s something we show up for every day. #MinorityHealthMonth #HealthEquity #InclusiveCare

This April, Vassar Brothers Medical Center proudly celebrates 25 years since introducing two life-changing procedures for coronary artery disease: percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). PCI, a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure, and CABG, a surgical technique that bypasses blocked arteries, have dramatically improved heart care outcomes for thousands of patients. On April 2, we recognized the pioneering healthcare providers who brought these treatments to VBMC — a celebration of innovation, collaboration and the commitment to excellence in cardiac care. Congratulations to the incredible team behind this 25-year legacy of impact. #HeartHealth #Cardiology #MedicalMilestones #PCI #CABG
