Saland Record:
Hospitals/Health Care
Quality health care is
essential for all of us. We are fortunate that the Hudson
Valley has outstanding hospitals and medical personnel.
Senator Saland has worked closely with all of the area
hospitals and continues to provide funding to enhance the
quality of care that meets the changing and growing demands
of health care. Senator Saland has secured more than
$5,808,397 in grants for local hospitals and health related
organizations.
Senator Saland sponsors an annual senior citizens fair, the
Golden Gathering, which brings together numerous exhibitors
with an emphasis on health care and services for the
elderly. Between the two counties, Dutchess and Columbia,
more than 1500 seniors benefit annually from the events and
the health screenings. Senator Saland has been hosting the
Golden Gatherings for fifteen years, which are always free
to the senior population - thanks to his ability to garner
the financial support of area businesses for such worthy
endeavors.
