Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center


Bronx-Lebanon’s Nursing Department, under the direction of Jeanine M. Frumenti, RN, MPA, Vice President, Patient Care Services/Chief Nursing Officer, is totally committed to the delivery of the highest level of quality and compassionate nursing services to its patients. “We are an integral part of the patient care team, wearing many hats, including those of a bedside RN, patient and family educator, patient advocate, and consultant to the patient’s medical team,” stated Ms. Frumenti. Among Ms. Frumenti’s top priorities is to firmly establish Bronx- Lebanon’s nurses as being among the best in the nation.

Carol John-Carbon is a representative example of Bronx-Lebanon’s nurses in action. As Assistant Nursing Care Coordinator and Staff Nurse on the 15th floor Ventilator Unit, Ms. John-Carbon is treating, what she terms, most difficult and continuously life threatening illnesses. “Sometimes you have patients that we can help breathe on their own and recover, and that is most satisfying because it makes you look forward to coming back to work and doing it again and again,” stated Ms. John-Carbon. “Concern for the patient is a paramount organizational value. Our nurses are clearly succeeding in adapting a best practices model that supports their essential roles as leaders in providing optimum care,” stated Ms. Frumenti.
