Stephen K. Robert is the former chief executive officer and chairman of Oppenheimer Group, Inc., a securities company located in New York City. The founder and trustee of the Source of Hope Foundation, Stephen Robert helped fund the Stephen Robert and Pilar Crespi Robert Rapid Medical Evaluation Center, which has greatly reduced wait times for emergency room patients at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.
Wait times for patients at hospitals throughout the United States are longer than most citizens might expect. Massachusetts ranks as one of the slowest states in the country, with most patients waiting an average of 189 minutes before speaking with a medical professional. Delaware medical facilities were even slower, according to researcher SysAid, which found local patients had to wait an average of 195 minutes in waiting rooms and emergency rooms. Maryland took the No. 1 spot as the slowest medical services provider in the nation, according to data derived from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Patients in the state can expect to wait about 228 minutes for medical care, or nearly four hours. Every state ranked among the top 10 slowest service providers took at least two and a half hours to meet with patients. The top five was rounded out by Rhode Island, at 185 minutes, and New York State, at 184.
