Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital has also been designated a Sinus Center of Excellence in the treatment of chronic
sinusitis. Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital officials said it is one of only two hospitals in Westchester and only the fourth in New York to receive the distinction. Patients with chronic sinusitis are treated with balloon sinuplasty, a minimally invasive and innovative system, by physicians in the Division of
Otolaryngology. The technique, which uses a balloon to spread and open the sinuses, can replace conventional sinus surgery that requires removal of bone and tissue to open passageways. Dr.
Matthew J. Kates, chief of head and neck surgery in the Division of Otolaryngology, called it the first innovation in sinus surgery in nearly 20 years. Hudson Valley Hospital Center in
Cortlandt Manor is the other sinus center in Westchester county.
Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital serves both the local community, the greater Southern Westchester region, northern New York City, and western Connecticut. It is the largest private
