To mark its centennial this year, Northern Westchester Hospital will host the unveiling of an interactive timeline detailing its history in Mount Kisco on Jan. 21.
The event, which will take place Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the hospital’s conference room corridor, will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the timeline as well as remarks from Northern Westchester Hospital president and CEO Joel Seligman, hospital board of trustees chair Nancy Karch and Mount Kisco Mayor Michael Cindrich.
The timeline will include a touch screen with both video and audio, highlighting expansions, technological advances and other events in the hospital’s 100-year history. A reception will follow the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
New artwork from the Katonah Museum Artists’ Association and the Westchester Photographic Society that will be featured in the hospital, which officials called “colorful, bright and festive” in celebrating the hospital’s tenure in northern Westchester, will also be unveiled.
Officials said an announcement will also be made by a representative of Westchester County Board of Legislators Chairman Michael Kaplowitz’s office.
Originally opened as a 15-bed hospital in 1916, Northern Westchester Hospital now has more than 230 beds and 700 physicians on staff.
