Thank you, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Orleans County and Master Gardeners for bringing some holiday cheer to our campus! They are exquisite!

"It's dear to my heart because they assisted my father in his transition and my father was very stubborn," she said. "It was a lot to let someone care for him and take care of him. His last day living he said 'oh I feel like royalty, I'm getting the royal treatment' and that is all I needed to hear."

A BIG THANK YOU to Ann McElwee for the poinsettia donation to the Martin-Linsin Hospice Residence! They are beautiful, and all the residents are thrilled to have them in their suites! It is starting to look very festive on the Supportive Care of Orleans' campus!
