NORTHERN WESTCHESTER HOSPITAL 2022 ANNUAL REPORT: LASHINS FAMILY EMPLOYEE WELLNESS GYM
Echo Technician Tierra Jones has always been a regular at the gym. But the constraints of being a single mother with a long commute and longer work hours can derail even the most dedicated fitness fanatic.
“This is the BEST employee perk I’ve EVER had at any place of employment!” Tierra raved.
“The convenience of the gym helps me stick to my routine and continue to have my ‘me’ time. Especially being FREE with 24-hour access—it truly is a Godsend!
The gym is the perfect size with ample equipment to get a quick but serious workout—thank you for making this a reality. It is such an amazing way to improve our physical and mental health!”
It is our pleasure to share the following snapshot of how your generous gift has elevated the health and wellbeing of our team—and by extension, the patients they care for—since it opened one year ago.
“I had stopped working out during the pandemic, and the new employee gym motivated me to get back to exercising. This was a beautiful, thoughtful way of giving back to the hospital and its staff.”
— Grace Fernandez, RN Cancer Treatment & Wellness Center

THANK YOU
While no longer a public health emergency, the reverberations of the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to be felt by healthcare workers for some time to come. Hospitals across the country are facing unprecedented volume and staffing pressures, and Northern Westchester Hospital is no exception.
But we are incredibly privileged to have this invaluable resource dedicated to supporting the mental and physical wellbeing of our staff through these challenging times and beyond.
Thank you for caring for the caregivers.
“The gym has had a big impact on me physically and mentally. Physically, I’m getting closer to my weight loss goal. And it allows me to destress after a shift and clear my head when I’m feeling down.
I also love that it has a variety of equipment which I am growing more familiar with, like the rowing machine!”
— Ricardo Najera Martinez, Financial Counselor
