For more than four decades, Cary Hirsch, MD has helped shape cardiovascular care in the Hudson Valley. As one of the physicians who helped establish Good Samaritan Hospital’s Cardiac Catheterization Lab, he dedicated his career to bringing advanced heart care closer to home.

Then, unexpectedly, he became the patient.

When Dr. Hirsch experienced a serious cardiac event, he placed his trust in the very cardiac team and program he helped build. Thanks to the expertise, teamwork, and compassionate care at Good Samaritan Hospital, he received the lifesaving treatment he needed.

Dr. Hirsch continues caring for patients with an even deeper appreciation for the colleagues and cardiovascular program that helped save his life. His remarkable journey is a powerful reminder that exceptional care begins with exceptional people. It also reflects WMCHealth’s commitment to delivering advanced cardiac care close to home, where patients and even the physicians who helped build our programs can trust they are in expert hands.
