Giglio, MD as the new Chairman of Emergency Medicine.\u00a0 Dr. Giglio joined Flushing Hospital on April 27, after serving 17 years as the Chief of Emergency Medicine for New York Presybertian Hospital\u2019s Columbia and Allen campuses.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Giglio brings many years of Emergency Room experience and is very excited to be in his new role of serving one of the most culturally rich and ethnically diverse communities in the entire nation. \u00a0Flushing Hospital treats over 40,000 patients in its Emergency Department every year. Many of those patients have roots from around the world and they bring their languages and customs with them when they come to Flushing Hospital\u2019s ER. Dr. Giglio believes that is the job of the ER doctors to understand and respect everyone\u2019s beliefs and traditions and to treat each patient as an individual.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Giglio\u2019s philosophy comes from years of experience working in the emergency room. In that time, he has seen a dramatic change in how care is delivered. \u201cIn the past, ER doctors had a singular role \u2013 to save lives, and the long ER waits and impersonalized care that was associated with this way of providing treatment was accepted,\u201d states Dr. Giglio, who added, \u201cThat way of thinking needs to be flipped upside down.\u00a0 I believe that just as important as providing life-saving care is doing it in a compassionate and respectful manner, where every person who visits our ER feels like they are our only patient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What made Flushing Hospital the right fit for Dr. Giglio is both share a desire to improve the health of the community. Many of the people who come to Flushing Hospital don\u2019t have a primary care physician and need assistance finding the best resources to maintain and improve their health.\u00a0 \u00a0Flushing Hospital has added many services and initiatives to educate the community and provide them with the tools to live a healthier lifestyle.\u00a0 \u201cImproving the wellness of our community is one of our highest priorities for Flushing Hospital and those efforts should start in the ER\u201d states Dr. Giglio<\/p>\n<p>While compassion and individualized care are priorities for everyone in Flushing Hospital\u2019s ER, running an efficient department that provides well-coordinated care with the hospital\u2019s entire network of services is equally important. To ensure that every aspect of patient care is addressed, Dr. Giglio plans to take a very \u201chands-on\u201d approach to running the Emergency Department.\u00a0 Dr. Giglio states, \u201cI can\u2019t wait to get to know the community, take care of the emergency care needs, and offer them help to better manage their health so together we can build a healthier Flushing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareFlushing Hospital Medical Center is happy to announce the addition of James F.
