Depending on the selected partnership, opportunities may include website footer logo placement, business directory listings, email advertising, newsletter features, social media promotions, business spotlights, expert features, thought leadership content, and selected event-related opportunities.
WNFP has built a cross-channel professional community through its website, social media platforms, and networking groups. Its channels include Facebook and LinkedIn communities, offering businesses multiple opportunities to introduce their brands, share their expertise, and build awareness among professionals.

As the holiday season approaches and year-end expenses begin to come into focus, B&amp;M Financial Management Services, LLC (BMFMS) is encouraging individuals to take a fresh look at their money through its Fall Into Better Money Habits: Your Fall Money Check-In initiative.
Offered through Smart Money Moves Coaching, this special opportunity provides a free, 30-minute, one-on-one money coaching conversation designed to help participants reflect on their current money habits, identify areas they would like to improve, and determine one practical next step toward greater money confidence.
Many people wait until January to set money goals or make changes to their spending habits. However, fall offers an opportunity to prepare for holiday expenses, revisit savings goals, review spending priorities, and address money concerns before the year comes to a close.
&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have to wait until January to make a money move,&rdquo; said Theresa Todman, founder of B&amp;M Financial Management Services, LLC and Smart Money Moves Coaching. &ldquo;Sometimes, the first step toward improving your relationship with money is simply making time to talk about where you are, where you want to be, and what you can do next. You don&rsquo;t have to have everything figured out to get started.&rdquo;
During the free Fall Money Check-In, participants can discuss areas of money management that matter most to them, including:
<ul><li>Spending habits and budgeting</li><li>Savings goals and preparing for unexpected expenses</li><li>Debt management and credit concerns</li><li>Building healthier money habits</li><li>Preparing for holiday and year-end expenses</li><li>Identifying a practical next step toward a personal money goal</li></ul>
The session is designed to be a welcoming, judgment-free conversation. Participants do not need to have their finances organized or know exactly where to begin. The goal is to help each person gain clarity and leave with a manageable next step.
Through November 30, 2026, individuals can learn more about the Fall Money Check-In and request a free coaching session. The initiative encourages participants to approach their money with greater intention, rather than postponing important decisions until the start of a new year.
&ldquo;Healthy money habits are built through small, intentional steps taken consistently,&rdquo; Todman added. &ldquo;Whether you want to feel more confident about your spending, make progress toward savings, or simply understand what needs your attention, starting with one conversation can help you move forward.&rdquo;
Individuals interested in participating can visit B&amp;M Financial Management Services, Fall Money Check-In website at <a href="https://www.bmfms.com/fall-money-checkin.html" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.bmfms.com/fall-money-checkin.html</a> to learn more and schedule their free 30-minute coaching session.

White Plains, NY (October 14, 2026): <a href="https://www.burke.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Burke Rehabilitation</a>&reg;, a leading provider of advanced physical and medical rehabilitation and member of the Montefiore Health System, today announced a series of strategic advancements to enhance its nationally recognized neurological rehabilitation care. Together, these advancements will improve patient outcomes and quality of life, while allowing more individuals recovering from brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, and other complex neurological conditions to benefit from the specialized, evidence-based, and personalized rehabilitation care offered at Burke. 
According to a <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/fullarticle/2841765" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">2025 study</a>, more than half of the people in the United States&mdash;over 180 million individuals&mdash;live with at least one neurologic disease or disorder. To meet this increasing demand, Burke has made purposeful strides to expand its services and programs to treat more patients with complex neurological needs, including: 
&nbsp;- providing medical and rehabilitation care for individuals with severe acquired brain injury who demonstrate emerging signs of consciousness, known as <a href="https://www.burke.org/medical-services/neurological-rehabilitation/disorders-of-consciousness/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Disorders of Consciousness (DoC)</a>, such as minimally conscious state (MCS) where definite but sometimes inconsistent signs of awareness are present due to severe acquired, degenerative, or developmental brain damage.
&nbsp;- expanding physical and medical rehabilitation research and innovation efforts including a first-of-its-kind clinical research project examining obstructive sleep apnea among inpatient rehabilitation patients with acquired brain disorders, supported by <a href="https://www.burke.org/about/news-media/2026/burke-rehabilitation-awarded-75000-to-support-research-on-obstru/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">$75,000 in grant funding</a>. 
- opening a <a href="https://www.burke.org/about/news-media/2026/burke-rehabilitation-opens-new-ct-scanner-suite/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">state-of-the-art, on-site CT scanner suite</a> to diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries more quickly, supporting a more seamless care experience for patients whose conditions may require timely imaging, including those suspected of experiencing complications such as a second stroke or brain bleed. 
&ldquo;At Burke, our mission to provide the highest quality medical care and rehabilitation services drives us to lead through innovation,&rdquo; said Scott Edelman, MBA, CPA, CFE, Executive Director of Burke Rehabilitation. &ldquo;As a leading provider of advanced rehabilitation medicine, we are continually translating advances across the industry into post-acute care that delivers meaningful outcomes&mdash;helping patients regain function, restore independence, and return to the community.&rdquo;
These programs will further enhance the robust neurological care delivered at Burke. In 2025, Burke neurorehabilitation inpatients had a lower self-reported 30-day readmission rate (4.98%) than the nation (7.20%), and mobility and self-care gains outpaced national averages. Burke also cares for the most stroke patients in New York.
&ldquo;Achieving excellence in neurological rehabilitation requires a connected model that combines specialized clinical care, timely diagnostics, rigorous research, education and collaboration across disciplines,&rdquo; said Dr. Erika Trovato, Associate Chief Medical Officer, Chief Quality Officer at Burke Rehabilitation. &ldquo;We are making purposeful investments across Burke so that more patients with complex neurological conditions can receive the specialized, individualized care they need to achieve their personal care goals.&rdquo;
Education, research, and innovation are also at the core of the neurorehabilitation strategy at Burke. Burke offers a one-year Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited Brain Injury Medicine Fellowship for two Board Eligible/Board Certified physiatrists and/or neurologists committed to subspecialty training in Brain Injury Medicine, training future leaders in the field. Burke also participates in scientifically rigorous, clinically integrated studies targeting meaningful functional outcomes and real-world solutions for medically complex patients, including those recovering from neurological conditions. 
Together, these efforts position Burke to continue building a comprehensive model of neurological rehabilitation excellence&mdash;one that brings expertise, innovation, and patient-centered care closer together and leverages the &ldquo;whole person&rdquo; approach that improves patient outcomes and quality of life following discharge back to community.

WCA Unveils New Edition of Westchester&rsquo;s Real Estate Policy Playbook to Shape Smart Growth and Development 
An AI-powered web-based platform will drive coordinated development across the region
WHITE PLAINS, NY (October 1, 2026) &ndash; <a href="https://www.westchester.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">The Westchester County Association (WCA)</a> today published its Real Estate Policy Playbook designed to help local leaders, planners, and stakeholders navigate the policies shaping responsible economic growth and development across Westchester County. Now in its fourth edition, the WCA's Playbook has been completely updated and now includes a brand-new section on critical infrastructure. This expanded real estate development guide is accompanied by a new on-line version enhanced with AI-searchability to keep pace with growing use by leaders across the region.
&ldquo;Westchester&rsquo;s future requires a shared, practical framework for managing growth that is accessible to every community and every stakeholder that has a role in the development process,&rdquo; said Michael N. Romita, President &amp; CEO of Westchester County Association. &ldquo;This Playbook translates complex policy considerations into actionable guidance, helping leaders make decisions that can expand opportunity, support housing and infrastructure needs, and preserve the qualities that make Westchester an exceptional place to live and work.&rdquo;
The Real Estate Policy Playbook is created and circulated in collaboration between leading voices across the region&rsquo;s real estate community, including engineers, architects, land planners, developers, attorneys, brokers, municipal policy experts, and local officials. The latest edition includes a chapter on essential infrastructure to meet the current and future needs of Westchester County, building on previous editions focused on comprehensive planning, housing, energy efficiency and sustainability.
&ldquo;This fourth edition of the Real Estate Policy Playbook is a collaborative effort that addresses a major barrier to development in our region: ensuring adequate horizontal and sub-service infrastructure to support vertical growth,&rdquo; said William V. Cuddy Jr., Executive Vice President at CBRE and Chairperson of the WCA Real Estate Task Force. &ldquo;By presenting practical solutions to address essential infrastructure challenges, we are promoting smart, sustainable growth that will support a stronger future for our region.&rdquo;
Due to increased demand from leaders across the region's real estate community who rely on the Playbook's resources, the new edition is now available in an online version with AI-functionality. This new resource enables leaders to access Playbook guidance by asking questions in everyday language, and aims to support more efficient planning, clearer decision-making, and economically viable, sustainable development throughout the region. Users can browse the Playbook, search by keyword or meaning, and receive cited answers that link directly to source material.
The Playbook is just one element of the WCA&rsquo;s efforts to promote smart growth across Westchester and beyond. This year&rsquo;s edition comes on the heels of WCA&rsquo;s leadership to enact generational reforms to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) passed earlier this year, and part of the WCA&rsquo;s ongoing advocacy to advance responsible development and create a stronger economy. This work is guided by the WCA&rsquo;s Real Estate Committee, which convenes the region&rsquo;s leading developers, planners, government representatives, and other real estate professionals.
