OSWEGO – Oswego Health makes it a priority to recognize staff for their hard work and commitment to the organization and its patients. One key staff member who continues to shine is Stephanie Benavidez.
Benavidez has been promoted to Radiology Manager at Oswego Health. Benavidez started at Oswego Health in the Imaging Department at Oswego Hospital in 2016, before transitioning in 2019 to the Radiologic Technologist at the Center for Orthopedic Care.
Born and raised in Phoenix, NY, Benavidez graduated with a Master of Business Administration from University of St. Francis in 2010 and a Master of Science in Health Services Administration in 2007. She earned her Certificate of Radiography from St. Mary’s Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida, in 1993 and has been licensed in NY since 1994.
The Oswego Health medical imaging department features the most advanced technology and provides a range of services, from general X-rays to computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). There are five convenient imaging locations throughout Oswego County, including inpatient services at Oswego Hospital and four outpatient locations. As the Radiology Manager, Benavidez will manage the outpatient centers at Oswego Health Services Center, Pulaski Health Center, Fulton Medical Center, and Central Square Medical Center.
Benavidez shares, “I originally started my career at a large hospital in CNY and it just didn’t feel like a family or team. To have this new leadership opportunity in a place that I call home is just amazing. I’m excited to get more involved within the community to provide the best care possible locally.”
