Dr. Adrienne Fueg recently returned to Rockland County after practicing medicine in Pennsylvania.

Dr. Adrienne Fueg has joined the staff of Nyack Hospital staff as its second female surgeon at the hospital’s breast center.

After seven years of private practice in Rockland County, Fueg worked at Elk Regional Medical Center in St. Marys, PA, for five years, before returning to Rockland County in October 2012. She currently is an attending physician at Nyack Hospital and is a surgeon at Highland Surgical Associates in West Nyack.

“We are so pleased to have Dr. Fueg join our talented and dedicated team of surgeons," said Patricia Joseph, M.D., director Breast and Women’s Health Prevention Services at Nyack Hospital. "Her compassion and experience will be a tremendous asset for the all of the patients served by the Nyack Hospital Breast Center.”

Fueg is a board certified surgeon who practices general surgery as well as breast and wound surgery. She is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a member of the Association of Women Surgeons and the American Society of Breast Surgeons. 

Fueg received her medical degree from SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn. She completed her residency in general surgery at Lincoln Hospital/Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center in the Bronx, followed by a fellowship in critical care at Lincoln Hospital.

Aerial of United Water's proposed water treatment plant location

This issue is not whether Rockland County will need more water in the future which it may nor is itRead More the fact that Hudson River water can be made drinkable which it can. The primary issue is the company that wants to run the project. United Water has been a lousy corporate neighbor to West Nyack allowing old homes to deteriorate then tearing them down and doing nothing to stop the flooding south of the reservoir. If we allow them to construct the Haverstraw project they will do nothing to protect the area and if anything goes wrong they will blame someone else. When United Water starts to take responsibility for its actions and manages their facilities so as to have a minimal impact on the community then maybe they should be allowed to build Haverstraw but don't count on it.

Untrue. Perhaps if United Water wasn't sending over 2 million gallons a day from Deforest Lake toRead More they're customers in Bergen County we would not have this shortage. Hydrologists have shown that there is enough water regularly collected in Rockland's reservoirs and aquifers for our current and growing needs. Many of the "facts" that United Water is putting forward are outdated, and are based on they're own mismanagement of our water basin. Lets remember that United Water has repeatedly been removed as a water provider of major cities throughout this country (6+ last time I checked, notably even from Camden NJ) for mismanagement of water resources. I think its a prudent choice to look into a plant that we will be stuck paying for for the next 4 years from a company that has repeatedly lied and provided water with toxin levels high above legal limits to they're customers. Better safe than sorry.

Rockland has grown to the point that it needs more water. Terminating the flow of a river and takingRead More the water resources away from other communities (stealing what we need) isn't going to happen.

Is that what it was.....I thought it was the cicada's
Kevin Zawacki (Editor) June 3, 2013 at 10:43 am
Is it related to Tappan Zee Bridge construction?
