The New York Hilton was the site of a gala marking Montefiore’s 66th Annual 25 Year Club Celebration on June 6. Montefiore’s exceptional level of care is made possible by our experienced associates, many of whom have dedicated their entire careers to our mission of providing excellent, compassionate care. Our 25 Year Club now boasts 4,299 members. Each of this year’s 169 inductees were awarded a commemorative watch. The group then joined Steven M. Safyer, MD, President and CEO, Montefiore Medicine, and Philip O. Ozuah, MD, PhD, President, Montefiore Health System, for a photo. Thank you all for your many years of service and commitment!

A delicious healthy dinner al fresco is the perfect way to spend warm summer evenings. BBQ Chicken and Sauce is typically high in sugar and fat, but this recipe only uses a small amount of brown sugar. Also, using boneless breasts reduces the saturated fat while still providing a good source of protein.

BBQ CHICKEN AND SAUCE
Makes 6 servings

Directions:

1. Make the BBQ Sauce: Place all ingredients, except the chicken, in a large microwave-safe bowl and mix together.
2. Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 8 minutes, or until bubbling.
3. Stir and use right away, or cool and refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze up to 1 month. Makes about 2 cups.
4. Place chicken in a dish large enough to hold the pieces in one layer. Make sure to leave a little space between pieces.
5. Measure 1 cup of sauce and spread over chicken to coat pieces. Microwave on HIGH for 17–19 minutes, depending on the chicken’s thickness.
6. If cooking chicken on a grill, preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook, covered, for 5–7 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts and cook another 5–7 minutes.
7. Check if chicken is ready by cutting with a knife. Chicken is well cooked when it is no longer pink in the center and the juice runs clear, or once the internal temperature reached 165 F when measured with a meat thermometer. Serve right away with remaining sauce.

The next Epic upgrade is scheduled to go live on Saturday August 3, 2019. The upgrade will include several key enhancements such as Storyboard which is a new layout that provides quicker access to key details and common actions without switching screens.

In order for associates to be ready for the August 3 changes, Montefiore Information Technology Department encourages associates to play in the Epic Playground and familiarize themselves with the new features.

Epic Training begins July 8, 2019. Visit the MIT webpage via the intranet for more information.
