Snow has created significant gridlock throughout the City of White Plains, heavily impacting the timeliness of our valet services at our Cancer Center and Center for Advanced Medicine & Surgery. To ensure our patients get to appointments on time, we are advising all those who can to please leave earlier than expected and park in White Plains municipal lots. Thank you for your understanding.
