Lenox Hill Hospital

I have rich experience in clinical and community nutrition, nutrition education/mentoring and public speaking.  I believe that my vast nutrition knowledge and experience in the field combined with my passion for outreach – specifically, my outreach work with school-aged children and staff provide me with the necessary skills and motivation to perform effectively in this role.  

  As a clinical dietitian with Sodexo at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, my responsibilities include both clinical and non-clinical functions.  My primary responsibilities include managing the nutritional needs of patients on the oncology, cardiac, maternity and psychiatric units.  I routinely collaborate with members of multidisciplinary teams (medical and palliative care) and provide nutrition education classes to patients.  Additionally, I provide ongoing nutrition education programming to hospital staff, including members of the Food Service department. 

  Nutrition outreach and community education are aspects of my work that I feel very passionately about.  Educating people, specifically children, about nutrition and health has always been of utmost importance to me. I have provided presentations to school-aged children and school staff about the importance of breakfast and making healthy snack decisions.  Additionally, I have facilitated educational workshops to geriatric populations at local community senior centers.  During these sessions I provided nutrition lessons and answered participants’ questions regarding dietary choices, health and wellness.  
  
 My experiences with a variety of populations and in varied settings have provided me with the skills necessary to effectively interact with many types of people.  As a result of my multifaceted role at Lenox Hill Hospital, I have developed and honed invaluable, transferable skill sets.

I learned how to approach new patients and follow up patient. Diabetic education to patients at appropriate level. Provided group classes to those patients preparing to leave the hospital after a cardiac related health problem. I prepared my own teaching materials and handouts for group classes and individual patients. The hardest part of the job was knowing that charting on each patient takes a lot of time and it is necessary to do and it is required to see 12-14 patients a day and the time taken to chart after each visit to the patient took away time to be with the patient for nutrition education. I enjoyed teaching newly diagnosed diabetics who are receptive to learning and those looking to lose weight and receptive to behavioral changes. This allowed me to prepare teaching and learning materials and feel as though I am improving the lifestyle and longevity of the patients life as well as the quality of their life by educating them on how to approach food, portion sizes, make healthful choices to reduce weight, keep blood sugar within normal limits etc...

Lenox Hill adheres to protocol, everybody genuinely try to follow the rules as much as feasible, the 1199 Union is very active here. In the beginning all workers seem to help and pay attention to you, everything is noticeably organized and working, management is friendly, your co-workers participate in several fringe activities, dances, competitions, choir, singing contests, decorating the labs and hallways. It is a lively atmosphere most of the time. When you come to work here you'll soon make friends with your supervisors: they are extraordinary people, very respectful, knowledgeable, good-hearted, attentive to your needs and they all seem to care and try to help. The workers here should value more their managers. The impression I got from life is that "hard-working bosses that take care of their workers" is a valuable asset that everyone should cherish and celebrate. That is a magnet to attract more good people and make the job an easy passage of time.

Working at Lenox Hill Hospital was an extremely productive, collegial and educational.
It was a period during which I learned the finer points of credentialing, planning and organizing hospital board meetings and successfully interacting with both the hospital's corporate as well as medical staff members. In this I was very ably supported by my supervisors who placed high value on professional knowledge and education.
I found the staff at Lenox Hill Hospital equally supportive for the most part. My colleagues were in no way reluctant to share their knowledge and expertise and it was very easy to form good professional relationships here.

I would have to say the hardest part of working here at least initially was the lack of access to certain technologies which could have made the job easier. The most enjoyable part was my daily interactions with my team members who have become really good friends. I was very sad to have to leave this job.


Lenox Hill Lenox hospital is located in Midtown Manhattan, a typical day at work included but not limited to an individual being on their feet constantly. Ordering test STAT for doctors and the nurse on call. I have gained a well rounded experience with different cultures and I've also learned how to order more medical supplies for the OR, ER, and sometimes ENT specialist. Working with my co-workers was the best part of working for the hospital, we always put in a helping hand with one person. We worked as a team and a family. In my personal opinion there wasn't a hard part to my job. I am a very determined person. I always arrived to work at least fifteen minutes prior to my starting shift and saw the work orders for the day, then developed a time management for myself for the day. What I enjoyed the most was working with the different cultures on a day to day basics. It opened my mind to a different aspect on living.

This is one job where you hit the floor running , and it continued that way until your last 5 minutes before you finished or turned your case over to the next shift. I learned a lot about dealing with people who weren't having a great day , and their courage in assisting you position a part of their bodies that hurts them , and quite probably might be broken.the management there usually would work beside you , my coworkers were very reliable , but busy themselves. the hardest part of the job was to see others in physical  pain . the most enjoyable part of the job was to see those same faces leave knowing that they were going to be alright.

I worked in many hospitals across NYC and I would say the Northwell Health is the least employee centered hospital I've worked in.  Hospital likes to hire new and inexperience people so they can work hard at a fraction of the cost.  However, inexperience people don't make wise decisions and they let themselves be manipulated easily by others. Overall, management culture is highly revolving in saving money and cutting overtime. Human resources is very slow responding to emails, especially when they know they owe you money.  

As far as compensation, this is the lowest paid hospital across NYC. One positive thing I would say is the location and the teaching program. This is a good teaching hospital so if you get hired, learn as much as you can and apply to work elsewhere.

Lenox Hill Hospital is an excellent place to work. Management is extremely willing to work with staff. Their merger with the North Shore - Long Island Jewish Health System greatly improved their benefit package, as NSLIJ invests into its employees, especially their management team. It was a pleasure dealing with staff and management from other departments. The greatest challenge as a manager there was dealing with the union. The hospital administration is extremely influenced by the union in its affairs, and it makes productivity, and successful management of day-to-day operations difficult. Nevertheless, my time at Lenox Hill was valuable and increased my knowledge of hospital access, finance and revenue cycle.
