Surgical Procedures

Your Weight Loss Team

Dr. DeSimone and Dr. Cooper will perform procedures in Oswego Hospital’s state-of-the-art surgery center.

The surgery center has all the latest equipment and is staffed by highly skilled nurses and other clinicians.

Oswego Health’s multi-disciplinary team includes two experienced physicians, a registered nurse, a psychologist, and a dietician, among others.

The physicians will perform laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies, where 75 percent of the stomach is removed, and takes on the shape of a sleeve. This is a minimally invasive surgery.

Jeffrey DeSimone, MD, and Kenneth Cooper, DO, who are affiliated with Central New York Surgical Physicians, PC, perform nearly 450 bariatric surgeries each year and are bringing their expertise to Oswego Hospital.

They will also perform the roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery, where during surgery a very small stomach is created.

Patients who undergo this procedure may be hospitalized for several days, but can lose about 65 to 70 percent of their excess weight on average within 18 months of surgery.

These physicians, who are well-known in the area for their successful weight-loss surgeries, will have office hours at the Oswego Health Services Center in suite LL30 and will perform weight-loss surgeries in Oswego Hospital.

The pair stress that bariatric surgery is safe and is very successful for those who follow their recommendations following surgery. “I view it as a life-saving surgery,” said Dr. DeSimone. “It’s proven to be successful in the treatment of morbid obesity.”

Dr. Cooper adds, “Our patients say this surgery gives them their life back, this is something I hear repeatedly.”

Updating Behavioral Health Facilities Oswego Health will transform its behavioral health services (BHS) with a $13 million state grant, that allows the health system to develop new facilities in Oswego County.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo awarded the grant in July as part of his Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program. This funding will improve patient care through the development of high-quality medical facilities and programs serving the inpatient, primary care, mental health, substance abuse disorder and long-term care needs of communities throughout New York State.

Oswego Health provides BHS care at the Oswego County Building on Bunner Street in Oswego, as well as other locations throughout Oswego County, and at its Child and Family Services Department on North Second Street in Fulton.

In 2016, Oswego Health had 785 discharges from its BHS inpatient program, which has 20 staffed beds. During that same time frame, there were 20,000 adult outpatient visits (age 18 and older) and nearly 10,000 outpatient visits to the Child and Family Services Program.

The funding will assist the health system transform BHS into a financially sustainable institution capable of preserving and enhancing essential healthcare services. Historically, the health system has sustained financial losses while providing this service to the community.

“This is wonderful news for Oswego Health,” said President and CEO Michael Harlovic. “I’d like to thank Governor Andrew Cuomo for recognizing the importance of providing exceptional behavioral health services locally and that Oswego Health is the healthcare leader to deliver these important needed services,” Harlovic said.

In addition, to assist in making BHS financially viable, the health system will strive to integrate primary care and BHS services and receive an increase in its Medicaid reimbursement rate for these services.

Oswego Health is expected to announce a location in the upcoming months.

Oswego Health, First Choice When elite lacrosse player Keara Patterson tore her ACL in April, her family’s first choice for physical therapy was Oswego Health.

Keara, who plays attack, has been involved in playing lacrosse since she was in the third grade. Today, as a high school junior, she is a member of both the Fulton varsity and the Salt City Snipers teams. She is also a varsity basketball player. Keara will continue to play lacrosse in college as she has accepted a scholarship from Quinnipiac University. To recover from her injury, Keara took part in pre-surgery physical therapy and following her May procedure is continuing that care with Jason Pratt, Director of Oswego Health’s Physical Therapy Department.

“He knows when to push me and changes up my therapy routine so it’s not boring. Thanks to these sessions, my surgeon told me that I will likely be cleared to return to playing at the six-month mark, instead of the typically eight to ten months, and I am very much looking forward to returning to the field.”

Blended Giving S

imilar to finding your perfect coffee blend, there is a way to blend your personal philanthropy that is right for you.

The idea is that you make a starting gift with a current gift of cash, securities or real estate. Then you find the planned gift method, maybe a bequest, charitable trust or gift annuity, that works best for your situation.

With the planned gift, you set it up now and enjoy the benefits and security during your lifetime, and you get the satisfaction of knowing your planned gift will make a big difference by adding to the gift you already started.

Visit our website to begin learning about the many different ways you can create a custom gift. Please contact us if you have any questions.
