For over 28 years, Joel Weingarten and his family have called Colonie home. Throughout his time in our community, Joel has dedicated himself to both his profession and his neighbors, embodying the values of service, responsibility, and thoughtful leadership.
As a Registered Nurse at St. Peter’s Health Partners, Joel brings over 25 years of experience in healthcare to the table. In 2015, he transitioned into the role of Infection Preventionist, where his focus on evidence-based decision-making became a cornerstone of his work. Joel's mantra of “prove your life” — ensuring every decision is backed by solid data — has shaped his approach not only in healthcare but in every aspect of his life. His work in Infection Prevention required meticulous attention to detail, with data submitted to local, state, and federal agencies, making accuracy and accountability critical.
Since 2018, Joel has served as a Value Analysis Clinician, playing a key role in cost-saving initiatives, managing backorders, and driving conversions across St. Peter’s Health Partners. In this role, Joel is the clinical liaison for the Supply Chain department, working to ensure that resources are used efficiently and effectively to support patient care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Joel’s expertise was critical in sourcing and procuring essential supplies, allowing healthcare workers to continue providing high-quality care without interruption.
Joel's passion for serving others began in high school when he worked as an EMT. This early experience solidified his desire to pursue a career in healthcare, ultimately becoming a Registered Nurse. His dedication to improving lives continued when he became involved in the Birchwood Neighborhood Association (BNA), where he has served as President for over 12 years. In that time, Joel has led numerous initiatives to improve his community and represented neighborhood concerns at town meetings, always advocating for practical solutions and positive change.
Joel is running for the Colonie Town Board because he believes in making decisions that will create a lasting, positive impact for future generations. He is committed to improving our town’s infrastructure and ensuring its long-term sustainability. With his background in data-driven decision-making and community leadership, Joel is uniquely equipped to bring transparency, responsibility, and thoughtful analysis to the Town Board.
