Dr. Antonino (Anthony) Sarayno, 96, a longtime resident of Hyde Park, NY, passed away peacefully with his children by his side, on November 14, 2024, at the Hudson Valley Hospice House, following complications from Alzheimer's disease.

Born in San Joaquin, Iloilo, Philippines he was the son of the late Barbara and Eugenio Sarayno.

Dr. Sarayno completed his education with a B.A. from Harvardian College in Pampanga, Philippines, followed by an M.D. from St. Thomas University in Manila, Philippines. In 1962 he immigrated to the United States, where he embarked on a rotating general internship at Somerset Hospital in New Jersey, and later a General Surgery Residency at St. Joseph's Medical Center in Pennsylvania. He began as an Emergency Room Physician at Kingston Hospital in 1967, a role he served in for a year before moving on to St. Francis Hospital in 1968. There, he not only treated emergencies but also became the Director of the Division of Family Practice from 1979 to 1982. His tenure at St. Francis Hospital spanned over two decades, where he was an attending Family Practice Physician until 1988. Dr. Sarayno established a private family medical practice, the Hyde Park Health Center, where he worked for 48 years until 2020. His dedication to his patients was unparalleled, and he was known for his compassionate bedside manner and his ability to build enduring relationships with those he cared for.
