Wynn Hospital lifts restrictions for maternity, pediatric wards
UTICA, NY (WUTR/WFXV/WPNY) — The Wynn Hospital in Utica has lifted their visitor restrictions for the Maternal Child and Pediatric wards. The hospital said in an announcement that the restrictions on visitors to those two wards were to better protect patients and employees from various illnesses, including the flu and RSV. The hospital has said the New York State Department of Health, as well as leaders from the Mohawk Valley Health System Maternity group, found these illnesses to no longer be prevalent. Visitation regulations will now be as follows: In the Labor and Delivery unit, two support persons, including a doula if requested, may accompany the patient throughout the delivery period until their discharge home. These persons must wear a green bracelet; there is no switching out of support persons. The persons may be the patent's spouse, partner, sibling, parent or any other persons over the age of 16. Those two persons may be with the patient outside of regular visiting hours. After delivery, two more persons may visit the patient until they are transferred to the hospital's Mother and Baby Unit. Only four total people are allowed in the room at one time. In the Mother and Baby Unit, visiting hours will be from 8 am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 8 pm, with a designated quiet time from 2 pm to 4 pm. During these hours, the two support people from Labor and Delivery and another two visitors may be on the unit. Siblings of the newborn will be allowed to visit with an adult visitor. However, they may not be left unattended with the mother. Only four total visitors will be allowed in the mother's room at one time. In the Neonatal ICU, visiting hours will be from 8 am to 8 pm. All adult visitors must be accompanied by their primary caregiver and show proper ID. Grandparents may visit without parents if they have been given written permission by the primary caregiver on the visitation form. Grandparents will not be allowed to bring any visitors with them. A total of two adult visitors — one of those being the primary caregiver — will be allowed at the bedside of each newborn at any time. This is in addition to a minor sibling. Siblings will be allowed to visit with an adult, but may not be left unattended with the caregiver. Only one parent will be able to stay overnight with the newborn. Visitors to the Neonatal ICU may be asked about the presence of symptoms from flu, COVID or RSV. In the Pediatric Unit, the patient shall designate two support persons over 16 years old at the time of admission. Those persons will be permitted to visit the patient with the parents present. Siblings of the patient are allowed to visit with an adult during normal visiting hours. The hospital has advised that if visitors feel ill, they should stay home and delay their visit until they feel better.

NY cop cleared of criminality in shooting death of 13-year-old armed with pellet gun, AG rules
The police officer who shot and killed a 13-year-old in upstate New York during a robbery investigation last summer has been cleared by state investigators of criminal wrongdoing. New York Attorney General Letitia James's office released an investigative report Wednesday concluding that Utica Police Officer Patrick Husnay should not be charged with a crime for killing teen Nyah Mway on June 28, 2024. Mway and another unidentified teen were stopped by three police officers in Utica, NY, as the pair fit the description of two people wanted in an armed robbery in the area the night before, the report stated. Bodycam footage of the incident shows the 13-year-old running away from the officers — setting off a chase that would ultimately end in his death. As he was fleeing, Mway pointed what appeared to be a black handgun — but was really a pellet gun — at the pursuing Utica Police Officer Bryce Patterson. The officer said he could see the black barrel of the object pointing at his chest and believed that he was going to be shot and killed, the report stated. While at a full sprint, Patterson tackled Mway to the ground and struggled for the weapon, at which time officers Husnay and Andrew Citriniti caught up to the ongoing fight for what they believed was a handgun, the report stated. Officer Husney then leaned over and fired a single shot into the chest of Mway at close range, according to the report and bodycam footage. The young teen was taken to Wynn Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The attorney general also released a recording of a bystander's TikTok of the chase and shooting as part of the report, which shows the dramatic moment Mway is tackled and shot by the UPD officers. Additionally, James shared information on two armed robberies that the officers were investigating — in which victims said two Asian teenagers robbed them at gunpoint. Video from a June 12, 2024 robbery shows two apparent males in hoodies and face masks approach an unsuspecting victim on the street, with a person in a red sweatshirt whipping out what appears to be a handgun. The victim in that case was robbed of all his belongings and told cops the assailants were about 5'5' and that he could tell they were Asian 'because of their facial features, mainly the eyes,' according to the report. A second incident on June 27, 2024, saw two people fitting the same description robbing another victim using what appeared to be a handgun just a few blocks away from the previous incident. Mway and the other unidentified minor fit the description of the two perps wanted for the June 27 incident, according to James' report. During the police interaction on the fateful night, cops said Mway kept his hoodie over his head and was instructed by officers twice to keep his hands out of his pockets. The 13-year-old also sparked cops' suspicions by apparently 'pinning his arm to his waistband,' in an apparent attempt to conceal the pellet gun, according to the report. Mway was carrying a hyper-realistic pellet gun replica of a Glock 17 that featured the words 'Officially Licensed Product of Glock' with a company logo on the side of the piece, the report stated. James found that the cops were justified in using deadly force in the incident as it was reasonable for the officers to believe that their lives were threatened with a firearm.

MVHS President announces retirement
UTICA, NY (WUTR/WFXV/WPNY) — The president of the Mohawk Valley Health System — who helped oversee the opening of the Wynn Hospital in 2023 — has announced that she will be retiring at the end of the year. Darlene Stromstad announced on Monday, March 24 that she will be retiring from her position in late 2025. Stromstad oversaw the combination of St. Elizabeth's Hospital and St. Luke's Hospital into the Wynn Hospital in 2023. 'After an incredible journey in healthcare leadership, I will be retiring from my role as President/CEO of MVHS at the end of the year,' Stromstad said in a statement. 'This decision comes with mixed emotions, as my time at MVHS – and throughout my career – has been filled with meaningful work, incredible colleagues and a shared commitment to providing the best possible care to our communities. When I joined MVHS, I was drawn to the opportunity to help transform healthcare in central New York. Together, we accomplished something truly extraordinary with the opening of Wynn Hospital – a state-of-the-art facility that will serve this region for generations to come. We strengthened our system, expanded services and navigated challenges with resilience, all with the goal of improving the lives of those who rely on us for care.' Before taking the position in Utica, Stromstad worked in hospitals all over the Northeast, including Fenway Health in Boston. She also led health systems in New Hampshire, Connecticut and Maine. Stromstad has been the president and CEO of MVHS since 2019. During that time, she oversaw the implementation of an Electronic Health Record system throughout all of MVHS, as well as her overseeing of local health during the COVID-19 pandemic. A search committee has been organized by the MVHS board of directors to perform a national search for Stromstad's replacement. Former board chair Greg Evans has been named as the head of the search committee. 'Throughout my career – whether in New Hampshire, Boston, Connecticut, Maine or here in Utica – I have been privileged to work alongside some of the most dedicated and talented professionals in healthcare. I have also had the honor of serving on national and state-level boards, advocating for policies that support patients, healthcare workers and the industry as a whole,' Stromstad said in a statement. 'As I step into this next chapter, I do so with deep appreciation for the experiences I have had, the relationships I have built and the impact we have made together,' said Stromstad. 'I thank the MVHS Board of Directors for this remarkable opportunity and their continued support. While I may be retiring from my day-to-day leadership role, my passion for healthcare and my gratitude for this community will remain steadfast.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
