Marshall+Sterling Investment Brings Advanced Monitoring Technology to Oswego Health, Enhancing Care for Mothers and Babies

(Oswego, NY – May 14, 2026) — Marshall+Sterling, in partnership with the Oswego Health Foundation, has donated $25,000 to fund a new GE cardiac monitor and Amico fetal monitor stands, technology that strengthens care for mothers and newborns during pregnancy and labor at Oswego Hospital.

The Oswego Health Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Oswego Health, plays a vital role in advancing healthcare across the region by securing resources that elevate patient care, expand services, and support innovation. Donations like this ensure that patients in Central New York have access to the latest technology—close to home.

Marshall+Sterling, a national independent risk solutions partner, recently expanded its presence in Central New York through the acquisition of the longstanding FitzGibbons Agency. This gift reflects Marshall+Sterling’s commitment to reinvesting in the communities in which its employees and clients live and work.

The newly funded equipment represents a meaningful advancement in the technology available within Women’s Services at Oswego Health, directly supporting safer, more responsive care for both mothers and babies.

The Amico fetal monitor stands are purpose-built medical carts designed to securely house and position fetal monitoring equipment at the bedside. Their ergonomic design allows care teams to easily adjust and access monitors during labor, improving workflow efficiency and ensuring that critical data is always visible and within reach. These stands also help create a safer, more organized care environment by reducing clutter and supporting seamless mobility within patient rooms.

Paired with these stands, the GE cardiac monitor continuously tracks the baby’s heart rate.  In addition, it can monitor key newborn vital signs such as blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, giving clinicians a complete picture of the newborn’s status.

Together, this equipment enhances the care team’s ability to identify subtle changes, respond quickly to potential concerns, and make informed clinical decisions in real time. The result is a higher level of safety, efficiency, and confidence for both caregivers and families during one of life’s most important moments.

 “This technology truly elevates the level of care we can provide,” said Michelle Rockwood, RN, Director of Women’s Services at Oswego Health. “Having advanced monitoring tools allows our team to closely track baby after delivery. It gives us the ability to respond quickly, support safer outcomes, and provide reassurance to families during one of life’s most important moments.”

Tara FitzGibbons, Vice President, Client Experience Manager of Marshall+Sterling and a member of the Impact+ Giving Program Committee, shared, “I am so happy to be able to direct funding to Oswego Hospital in this way. As a longtime business partner and supporter of the hospital, it meant a lot to me to see Marshall+Sterling, the new owner of FitzGibbons Agency, invest in our community. Healthy communities are more resilient communities and that’s exactly what our Impact+ program is built around.”

This initiative is part of Marshall+Sterling’s Impact+ program, which focuses on enhancing the well-being of the communities where its employees work and live while supporting causes that help create a future that’s safer and more secure. In 2025 alone, the program supported more than 50 communities, reinforcing the firm’s belief that stronger communities reduce risk at its source.

Through Impact+, Marshall+Sterling prioritizes investments in education, health, social impact initiatives, veteran support, and environmental sustainability, areas that directly influence long-term community resilience.

This investment underscores the power of local partnerships in strengthening healthcare access and quality. With continued support from community-minded organizations like Marshall+Sterling, Oswego Health remains committed to delivering exceptional care—ensuring patients and families receive the best possible experience.
