Breast Cancer Awareness Through Eyes
On October 18, 2021, the Recreation team at Northern Riverview in Haverstraw led by Lori Silverstein toured the 180-bed facility bringing breast cancer awareness to the forefront of the residents and fellow colleagues. The team created a Think Pink Ð Join the Fight cart filled with pink balloons, stuffed teddy bears, hats, socks and ribbon scarfs for the residents and staff. For many months, we all have been thinking how to be safe from COVID-19 but let’s not forget about breast cancer, says Silverstein. We have come so far with fighting the disease and keeping awareness strong, let’s not fall back now. The Recreation Team and their breast cancer awareness cart.

Care. Support. Positive Outcomes. Centers Health Care.
Centers Health Care provides rehabilitation, skilled nursing and long-term care for people with a wide range of needs. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, managing an illness or simply needs more support than can be provided at home, our staff is there to help.
The goal is not exactly the same for everyone. It may be returning home, becoming stronger, staying independent or simply feeling better and more comfortable from one day to the next. There will be progress, setbacks and difficult days along the way. Our job is to be there through all of it, and to help each patient or resident get as far as he or she can.

Our Steps to Home series follows patients through rehabilitation and the journey from hospital to home:
