St. Joseph’s Physicians has announced the following professionals have joined its team:
• Physician Madison Healey has joined St. Joseph’s Health Hospital in a dual role as a hospitalist and primary care provider. A board-certified physician, Healey completed her residency at St. Joseph’s Health Hospital where she will continue to provide quality care.
In the hospitalist role, Healey oversees the care of hospitalized patients with a wide variety of diseases and high degree of acuity. Providing this level of continuity in patient care contributes to an increase in patient satisfaction, reduced hospital lengths of stay and reduces the possibility of the patient being readmitted.
Healey is also seeing patients at St. Joseph’s Physicians Primary Care in Liverpool. In that role, she is establishing relationships and providing healthcare for patients who see her for their regular health checkups.
Healey earned her medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine, Dominica, and her undergraduate degree in psychology from Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario. She completed her family medicine residency at St. Joseph’s Health Hospital where she served as chief resident for two years. A passion for teaching and mentoring future physicians, Healey will join the St. Joseph’s Health Family Medicine residence faculty. Her teaching experience further includes SUNY Upstate Medical University, and teaching grades 7-12 students and undergraduates while attending Queens University.
• Nurse practitioner Nikki D. Ramos has joined St. Joseph’s Health Primary Care Center, west. In her new role, Ramos will support her patients’ individual health as a member of an integrated primary care team.
Ramos returns to Syracuse following several years in the Columbus, Ohio area where she practiced as a registered nurse specializing in primary care, diabetes education, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and nephrology.
“I’m very excited to join St. Joseph’s Health primary care team,” said Ramos. “I look forward to serving this community and becoming an integral part of my patients’ health care team.”
Ramos earned her master’s degree in nursing, family nurse practitioner from Mount Caramel College of Nursing in Columbus, Ohio.
