Cristine Cioffi, Esq.

"My vision and hope for Ellis is simply that it will always be here. I live in this community. In my own times of need, I don't want to have to go to Albany. I want to be treated here by the talented physicians, nurses, and techs who make Ellis great, and many of whom are friends. We have to make sure that Ellis is strong and that it lasts."
