Senator Saland

Quality health care is essential for all of us. We are fortunate that the Hudson Valley has outstanding hospitals and medical personnel. Senator Saland has worked closely with all of the area hospitals and continues to provide funding to enhance the quality of care that meets the changing and growing demands of health care.Senator Saland has secured more than $5,808,397 in grants for local hospitals and health related organizations.

Senator Saland sponsors an annual senior citizens fair, the Golden Gathering, which brings together numerous exhibitors with an emphasis on health care and services for the elderly. Between the two counties, Dutchess and Columbia, more than 1500 seniors benefit annually from the events and the health screenings. Senator Saland has been hosting the Golden Gatherings for fifteen years, which are always free to the senior population – thanks to his ability to garner the financial support of area businesses for such worthy endeavors.
