The St Frances Hospital & heart center of Nassau County, I was told is tops, so I agreed go there…read morewhile I was having a heart attack while visiting in the area. The ER care and attention was good and most of the nurses were young beautiful women. Processing was somewhat quick. What surprised me was the lack of room in the ER and then the lack of rooms. It made me wonder if the rooms were reserved for the wealthy. Don't get me wrong I was glad to be there and get help, but I have never seen anything like it. I was received to a bed in a spot in a hallway. I'm not kidding, I spent the entire night in a bed in a hallway. The good thing was that I was glad to be near a bathroom, that is, until others began using it and not just for number one, if you know what I mean. How is it that such a wealthy and well known place has no rooms for those taken in. I'm just in shock, and I would have left if I were not in such need of care. Well, the hall was at least clean. I felt like I was in some South American hospital that lacked funds. People can speak bad about the Bronx or Westchester hospitals or even Putnam county hospitals, but I have never visited one of these places and been placed in a bed in a hallway. I really don't know what else to say, except I can't wait til the morning sunshine to move on from here. I am so, so grateful for the Westchester, Putnam and Danbury, Connecticut hospitals. I will never complain about them ever again. Follow up: While there I engaged in conversations with other patients. They were more familiar with the Hospital and they had nothing but good things to say about St Frances Hospital and Heart Center. They all said that the hospital is always busy and the doctors were very good and responsive. I guess as always we live and learn. Who would have thought that beds in the hallways was a common thing in this area for this great place.

Subject: Deep Gratitude for the Extraordinary Care and Excellence at St. Francis Hospital…read more To the Leadership, Medical Staff, and Team at St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center, While no human organization is perfect, the care, professionalism, and atmosphere I experienced during my two-day stay this August touched true excellence. From the moment I stepped into the Emergency Room at 3:00 AM to my discharge two days later at 3:00 PM, I was continuously struck by the seamless coordination, dedication, and genuine warmth of every single person I encountered. I want to express my sincere appreciation to the executive leadership and management team. High standards begin at the top, and it is clear you have cultivated a culture of respect, humility, and foresight where staff members are well-supported, valued, and empowered to excel before they even have to ask. To the physicians and nursing staff, your technical knowledge, clear communication, and calm, polite demeanor brought immense comfort. You responded to every single call with the speed, skill, and reliability of a true miracle worker. At the same time, the environmental services and food operations teams performed every task with dignity and care, from room cleanliness to lunch service, bringing a cheerful presence and meticulous attention to detail that did not go unnoticed. What impressed me most was not just the efficiency, but the heart behind it. Every staff member moved with purpose, a smile, and deep respect for the patients in their care. You do not just perform jobs; you fulfill a higher calling. Thank you for your tireless dedication, your humility, and your unwavering commitment to human dignity. I encourage you all to continue setting these high goals and leading by example. Wishing the entire St. Francis family continued health, success, and well-deserved recognition. With deepest respect and gratitude, Rauf Butt

Boost Wellness Review: Roslyn, New York…read more As someone who used to frequent public contrast therapy spots back in Arizona, stepping into Boost Wellness in Roslyn felt like an entirely different league. My wife and mother-in-law gifted me sessions here for my birthday, and after seeing the setup, I immediately traded my initial package in for a monthly subscription. It's easily one of the best ways to spend a weekend. What sets this place apart immediately is the privacy and the quality of the equipment. Back in Arizona, cold plunging meant piling into shared, public tubs and cycling through communal saunas where everyone is on display. At Boost, you get your own private rooms. My go-to routine is the contrast therapy: * Round One: 20 minutes in the private infrared sauna, which comes loaded with bluetooth speakers so you can sync your phone and play a podcast or music, followed by 3 minutes in the cold plunge. * Round Two: 10 more minutes in the sauna, followed by another 3 minutes in the plunge while stretching out to get the blood flowing. While they do offer a cryo option, I much prefer their actual cold water plunge tubs. Afterwards, I head over for a 10-minute session in the red light therapy room. Unlike older setups I've used where the light panels are fixed far away, their multi-light therapy panels are on wheels. You can roll them right up close to get full-body exposure, and the room has a nice built-in breeze so you don't overheat. They also have top-tier compression therapy chairs that double as actual massage chairs--brand new, pristine, and incredibly comfortable. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the manager got me set up smoothly on a credit-based system. Contrast therapy runs you two credits since it covers both hot and cold cycles, and the monthly membership gives me 12 credits to play with--perfect for hitting three solid therapies once a weekend. At over 50, I'm doing this to stay strong, mobile, and young for as long as possible. Whether you're already dialed into the science popularized by Wim Hof or just starting to look into the longevity and recovery benefits of cold water and infrared therapy, Boost Wellness is unmatched. The facility is spotless, state-of-the-art, and worth every visit. Highly recommend.

There is an excellent range of wellness and recovery services, including contrast therapy, infrared sauna, full-body red light therapy, cold plunge, and cryotherapy. The infrared sauna is a particular favorite, and cryotherapy has become increasingly appreciated with each visit. Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is still on the list to try. What truly sets the Roslyn location apart is the staff. Everyone is kind, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely interested in making each visit a positive one. It is rare to find such a broad range of high-quality services offered in one place with this level of cleanliness, care, and professionalism. Highly recommend Boost Roslyn for anyone looking to support recovery, wellness, and overall well-being.
