This morning, we gathered to commemorate the lives lost on September 11 and honor the extraordinary courage of our first responders who answered the call that day.

Reflecting on the 25th anniversary during our commemoration ceremony, our first responders shared a sentiment felt by many: “It feels like it happened yesterday.”

On September 11, 2001, Jamaica Hospital and Flushing Hospital deployed seven ambulances, two mobile clinics, and numerous support vehicles to Ground Zero. A team of 123 employees, including emergency medical technicians, paramedics, physicians, mental health professionals, and support staff, rushed toward the danger to save lives.

Today, we remember not only those who perished, but also the bravery, resilience, and selflessness displayed in the face of tragedy. May we never forget the heroes, the sacrifices, and the enduring spirit that defined September 11, 2001.

September is National AFib Awareness Month, a month dedicated to promoting education, early detection, and improved care for AFib.

AFib stands for atrial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia or abnormal heartbeat. During AFib, the heart’s upper chambers beat chaotically and irregularly. They beat out of sync with the lower chambers, called ventricles.

Here are the symptoms and causes of AFib, how it is diagnosed and treated, and healthy lifestyle choices you can make to help reduce heart disease risk and prevent AFib.
