Our services and expertise continue to grow at a steady pace. From the construction of our new Medical Offi ce Building and Cancer Center to the expansion of our Medical Group and medical education programs, we offer quality healthcare to our community and educational expertise to a growing number of healthcare professionals.
As a clinical site for medical education, I am proud of our expanding offerings to those entering the healthcare fi eld or to those who are interested in continued learning. Within our state-of-the-art facility, we offer an enthusiastic staff dedicated to teaching individuals who span a variety of educational levels from nursing students to medical students and residents. We have formed partnerships with many local continuing educational institutions like Touro College and have expanded our ability to offer quality residencies to doctors across the nation.
Becoming a teaching facility and offering well-structured residency programs allow practitioners to learn and discover viable ways to improve patient care and specialize in the care they deliver within the ever-changing medical industry landscape. We have four residency programs: Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Psychiatry and a Traditional Rotating Internship. On June 29, we welcomed 14 new residents to Orange Regional. All of the residents were impressed by our hospital orientation and have begun clinical training. Looking ahead to 2016, we have been approved and will open residencies in General Surgery and Internal Medicine.
My sincere thanks to Dr. Ron Israelski, Director of Academic Affairs, for his vision and leadership in building our Medical Education Program here at Orange Regional.

With the goal of creating a healing environment for patients, Orange Regional commissioned local artist, Joseph Marino, to design and paint a large-scale mural. The mural, measuring 11 feet high by 60 feet long, transforms the courtyard of the hospital’s Behavioral Health Unit from a plain brick outdoor space into a bright, colorful environment conducive to social interaction.
The hospital selected the artist for his exceptional proposal and extensive experience painting outdoor murals. Marino is a classically trained painter and professional graphic designer currently living in Monroe, New York. He is a graduate of Pratt Institute of Art and Design with a degree in illustration. For two weeks in June, working in 10 hour daily stretches, Marino hand-painted the mural which he designed to visually open up the space and to bring in imagery of life and hope. Christopher Stimpson, program manager in Psychiatry, explained, “We have patients that say they love it and they feel good when they look at it. The mural reminds them that they can be hopeful about achieving their wellness goals."
For additional information about Orange Regional’s Art Program, contact Orange Regional’s Art Curator, Sarah Johnson, at 333-2385 or visitwww.ormc.org/art.
