St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center is Long Island’s safest, most-awarded heart program. The flagship of Catholic Health, Long Island’s only faith-based health care system, St. Francis is consistently ranked as one of the best hospitals in the nation for Heart & Vascular by U.S. News & World Report. For 2024/25, U.S. News also ranked St. Francis as among the nation’s best hospitals in seven other specialties: Orthopedics, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Gastroenterology & GI Surgery, Pulmonology & Lung Surgery, Geriatric Care, Urology and Diabetes & Endocrine Disorders.
St. Francis Heart Center’s award-winning cardiovascular services are available to patients throughout Long Island, accessible at fellow Catholic Health hospitals, including Good Samaritan University Hospital, Mercy Hospital, St. Joseph Hospital, and St. Catherine of Siena Hospital. For two years in a row, in 2023 and 2024, St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center was awarded the nationally recognized HeartCARE Center designation by The American College of Cardiology
(ACC)—the only ACC HeartCARE Center designation in our region, including the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island and Westchester, and is one of only two HeartCARE Centers in the state.
St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center has consistently been recognized as one of the safest hospitals in the country, receiving 23 “A” grades for safety from the Leapfrog Group—the most for any hospital in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens Counties. In 2024, St. Francis received its 5th consecutive 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS), the first hospital on Long Island to receive this 5 star ranking. The St. Francis Hospital Nursing department has earned the prestigious Magnet designation for nursing excellence four times in a row, an honor less than 9% of hospitals nationwide have received. By providing care of the highest quality and safety, St. Francis Hospital is raising the bar for the care of patients in Metro New York.

Patrick Bringley’s All the Beauty in the World is a portrait of one man’s life through a time of transition. While looking for somewhere to contemplate his life and heal from his brother’s death, Patrick quits his high-profile journalism career at The New Yorker and seeks refuge in the most beautiful place he can think of: The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through his job as a Museum Guard, Patrick starts his life anew, all while falling under the spell of the place and the people he meets there. As his connection to the art around him grows, so does Patrick, until he gradually emerges … transformed by all the beauty.
There will be an audience Q&A afterwards with Patrick Bringley.

Sandy Wilding – yoga instructor
Several years ago I was mentally drained and physically beat up from my job. I decided to take some time off to heal. I wandered into a yoga studio in Port Washington and never looked back. I knew that after just two weeks of practice I wanted to become an instructor and was certified to teach within 6 months. I hold several certificates, including Yoga Alliance RYT-200, Health and Wellness Coaching, Restorative Yoga and Reiki. Besides teaching yoga year round, I spend my summers teaching kids’ yoga at Port Day Camp. During the school year I am a Teacher Assistant in the ENL program at Schreiber High School. Please join me on a journey to a place where the heart is open and the mind is free.

Pamela Schindler-Thomsen – Licensed Board Certified Creative Arts Therapist
I’m a licensed Creative Arts therapist specializing in helping children through adults identify obstacles in their lives that cause conflict in their day to day lives.
I like to think outside the box and use creative thinking in helping my clients problem solve. In session I like to use mindfulness. Whether that means focusing on our senses instead of the chatter in our minds to help be in the moment, or deep breathing to quiet that chatter.
We can’t solve tomorrow’s issues with todays information. I stress the importance of being present, because we CAN handle anything in the moment, but cannot change what happened in our past, or control what happens in our future.
In session, I use breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and hypnotherapy to help with anxiety.
Together we will work to identify, challenge and replace thoughts that don’t work in your benefit. We replace these thoughts with healthier, more realistic ones which help improve overall quality of life, and a greater sense of joy.I love to use metaphor, storytelling and art to help in this process.
I have worked as a licensed therapist in various settings for over 20 years helping people with various mental and emotional difficulties.
We are so much stronger than our fears and negative thoughts. We all have goals, which are important..but the HOW TO attain them is the important part..and that’s where I come in. We all get stuck, but that’s only temporary, we can all become unstuck and grow.
