Patient Stories

As the region’s first designated Comprehensive Stroke Center, UHS is uniquely equipped to provide the highest level of stroke care — from rapid diagnosis to advanced intervention and rehabilitation. During National Stroke Awareness Month, UHS is proud to join with the National Stroke Association to raise awareness of the modifiable risk factors that contribute to nearly 90% of strokes.

It can be tough to distinguish where to go for medical care when your symptoms feel unbearable, and your primary care provider is unavailable. Here are some key differences to help you decide.

UHS is proud that our organization has been selected as a recipient of a transformative grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, as part of the Foundation’s new Nursing Initiative. UHS will receive nearly $3.9 million in multi-year funding to strengthen nursing excellence, support nurses at every stage of their careers, and improve outcomes for the patients and families we serve across the Greater Binghamton region.

If you or a loved one has experienced a planned surgery, injury, accident, or serious illness, recovery might be a long road that includes physical therapy and rehabilitation. At UHS Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants work together effectively and efficiently to return our patients to their functional goals and improve their quality of life.
