NEWARK â As the chairman of medicine for Newark-Wayne Community Hospital, Dr. Gregory Heeb is fairly high up on the hospitalâs proverbial ladder.
So when he was given a chance to be the first Newark-Wayne employee to get a COVID-19 vaccine, he embraced the opportunity.
âIâve been here a long time, and even though Iâm chair of the department I do a lot of clinical work in the intensive care unit and COVID area. Thatâs why I think I was number one,â Heeb said Tuesday, about an hour after getting the Pfizer vaccine. âPart of this job is leadership, and that means leading the way. I was happy to do it.â

Finger Lakes Health will work with University of Rochester Medical Center to strengthen clinical care and hospital operations
Families in the Finger Lakes region can expect to see more high quality services at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital and Geneva General Hospital, leaders of Finger Lakes Health (FLH) said today in announcing an agreement with the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) to provide clinical operations support for both hospitals.
A management services agreement between the two institutions was just approved by the New York State Department of Health. It builds on a longstanding collaborative relationship through which many URMC physicians already provide care to FLH patients in Penn Yan and Geneva.
WATERLOO â After going more than eight months without a resident testing positive for COVID-19, Huntington Living Center is in the midst of an outbreak that has seen 72 residents infected, including four deaths.
âWe are heartbroken that after eight and a half months of working so hard to ensure our facilities were not impacted, as so many facilities have been, the increase in community positivity rates has now translated into increased cases in long-term care,â said Lara Turbide, vice president of community services for Finger Lakes Health, which includes Huntington. âWe are deeply saddened about the loss of beloved residents.â
The first positive case for a resident was Nov. 4, about a week after an asymptomatic staff member tested positive. Turbide added that staff in all FL Health long-term care facilities are tested twice weekly, although the state Department of Health only requires one weekly test.
