Bassett Healthcare Network

Good pelvic health is always important. But during pregnancy and birthing, pelvic health can become top-of-mind for people who may experience the natural stresses and strains that being pregnant can create. Pelvic health physical therapy rehabilitates common pelvic floor problems including bowel or bladder conditions, painful sex, back and hip pain, pelvic floor weakness, and more. Bassett Healthcare Network is offering a free, one-hour class about pelvic health on September 12, at the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown. If you are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant, this class can give you essential information on keeping your pelvic floor healthy. Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/e7PCmVBK

The quality, innovative care provided by our practitioners is having a global impact. Dr. Samuel Badalian, Bassett’s Chief of Women’s Health, traveled to Armenia from July 27 to August 3 to share his expertise with clinicians in that country. At the Wigmore Women’s and Children’s Hospital in the city of Yerevan, Dr. Badalian and a team of doctors supervised five urogynecological fellows as they performed 23 successful surgeries, culminating in the Third Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery Symposium at the Marriott-Yerevan Hotel, held in cooperation with the Association of Urogynecologists of Armenia. Congratulations, Dr. Badalian, on such a meaningful endeavor! This is not his first journey to Armenia for this impactful cause.

“I’m a support person, not a lead person,” explains Lester Schmitt, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist at Bassett Healthcare Network. “No one comes to the hospital purely to receive anesthesia. They come for a procedure, surgery, or birth. My role is to help them through that process.” Administering anesthesia may be secondary, but it is still essential and it can be exceptional. Recently Bassett Healthcare Network granted Lester its Advanced Practice Clinician Award of Excellence. Learn more about Lester and his work: https://lnkd.in/epzA3VTQ
