The $2 million I've secured in this year's federal budget will help SIUH streamline its newborn and women's services, and potentially allow the department to deliver an additional 1,000 babies per year. I promised to go to Washington and fight for Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn, and I'm happy to have played a role in ensuring women in our community continue to have access to high-quality, patient-centered care.\u201d\n\nSIUH will use the funds to complete construction of its new Integrated Women and Newborn Center, including the purchase of ten labor, delivery, and recovery rooms, three operating rooms, 37 maternity beds for post-partum care, and 12 nursey bassinets.\n\n\u201cSince this hospital opened, maternal child services have not been aligned for efficiency and just as important today, not aligned in the way families choose to experience this level of care and service,\u201d noted Brahim Ardolic, MD, SIUH\u2019s Executive Director. \u201cThis new building solves the efficiency issue, and frees up existing space to be converted into advanced surgical suites to bring more services to Staten Island \u2013 it\u2019s a win-win.\u201d\n\nArdolic added: \u201cOnce again, Staten Island\u2019s elected officials have come together to invest in our community\u2019s future and this appropriation will benefit our borough for generations.\u201d Dr. Ardolic said. \u201cWe are grateful for their advocacy on behalf of all those we are privileged to serve.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:29:07Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://malliotakis.house.gov/media/press-releases/malliotakis-visits-siuh-integrated-women-newborn-center-after-securing-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6532459519803524, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
