  • The Leon Root, MD, Community Service Award recognizes outstanding leadership of HSS staff who make significant contributions to the community, above and beyond their role at HSS, through initiatives that improve the health and/or healthcare of vulnerable and underserved populations. This year’s inaugural winner, HSS anesthesiologist Dr. Swetha Pakala, founded the Global Health Initiative in 2012, which provides sustainable educational programs to anesthesia providers in resource-limited settings such as Ghana, Vietnam, Uganda and India. Dr. Pakala trains local anesthesiologists about vital regional anesthesia techniques in order to build a lasting health infrastructure within these communities. Please join us on congratulating Dr. Pakala on this honor! #HospitalForSpecialSurgery #Anesthesiology
  • "As a pediatric occupational therapist at HSS I have the chance to work with some wonderful children and families each day! The guiding principle of OT is to promote independence through engagement in meaningful activities. OTs address a variety of areas depending on a child’s age and needs- from reaching developmental milestones, to working on self-help skills, finding the right position to increase access to his or her environment, using assistive technology, or regaining motion after an injury. This means my day is filled with obstacle courses, swings, games and drawing, as well as technology, splints and exercise bands! Though each child and family come for different reasons, the most rewarding part of being an OT in pediatrics is seeing each child build the skills and confidence to participate and perform to his or her full potential." In honor of National Occupational Therapy Month, please join us in recognizing our amazing pediatric OTs, such as Lauren Menino, for helping patients achieve their goals that maximize their independence and functional participation! #HospitalForSpecialSurgery #HSSKids #OTMonth
