New Location for Thompson’s Outpatient Rehabilitation ServicesThe doors opened to patients Tuesday, April 25 at UR Medicine Thompson Health’s new Canandaigua location for outpatient rehabilitation services.With 14,000 square feet, the new space at 699 South Main Street is adjacent to both UR Medicine Orthopaedic Services/UR Medicine Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Thompson’s Canandaigua Urgent Care. It includes comprehensive rehabilitation care with physical therapy, occupational therapy, and athletic training as well as lymphedema, hand, and aquatic therapies. A therapy pool is on site, as is a ceiling-mounted weight support and fall-protection system used to practice walking as well as to improve strength and balance.These outpatient rehabilitation services – with more than 40 staff members – were previously located within F.F. Thompson Hospital on Parrish Street in Canandaigua. Speech Therapy, which is also part of Thompson’s Rehabilitation Services department, remains in its current location on the ground floor of the hospital.Thompson Health Rehabilitation Services has additional outpatient locations in both Victor and Farmington. For information about the staff, their specialties, and the services they offer, visit www.ThompsonHealth.com/Rehab.

If they plan to further their education, they are eligible for tuition reimbursement initiatives and grants from Thompson, as well as promotional opportunities.The one-hour information session will be held at the Continuing Care Center, 350 Parrish Street in Canandaigua.

Popular Wine & Herb event returning to Cayuga Lake Wine Trail
The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail is welcoming the spring season with its popular Wine & Herb event the next two weekends.
The event will feature the trail's old ticketing style, where guests travel from winery to winery at their own pace instead of following an itinerary.
Each winery will offer a herb- or vegetable-inspired dish paired with a wine, as well as a potted herb or vegetable plant, three additional tastings, a souvenir glass and a digital recipe book.

2023 Wine & Herb- April WeekendApril 29 @ 10:00 am - April 30 @ 5:00 pm
This event is structured like our pre-2020 events. You’ll select your starting winery and visit the rest of the participating wineries at your own pace. Tickets are limited – get yours before they sell out!
Drink. Eat. Garden. Repeat. Get a head start on your herb garden. Collect the potted herbs and veggies featured in all the food samples along with the matching recipe collection. Read more.

Exterior Spring Home Maintenance
Now that the weather is better suited, it is time to venture outdoors and take a good look at your home and see how it survived the rude winter.

Spring Allergies
Spring is so glorious with its trees in bud and bloom and early flowers popping out of the ground. However, it is not so pleasant if you suffer with seasonal allergies. Sometimes called hay fever or allergic rhinitis, this can be a miserable time of runny nose, sneezing, and respiratory distress. Read more.

Cinco de Mayo Menu
If everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, then everyone is Mexican on Cinco de Mayo. The 5th of May is a great way to celebrate the heritage of a country that borders our own.
You can certainly do a taco bar but if you want to be a little more adventurous, here are some considerations. The soup takes a fair amount of chopping and slicing but is really quite simple.
