Pediatric Nurse Receives Thompson’s ‘DAISY’CANANDAIGUA –Marissa LeBlanc, BSN, RN, is the latest UR Medicine Thompson Health recipient of The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.LeBlanc, a resident of Farmington, first joined Thompson in 2021 and is a nurse with Canandaigua Medical Group Pediatrics. She was nominated for the award by a colleague who said she is supportive of her peers and is an expert on prior authorizations and insurance, “which helps us as providers navigate the day so much better.”The nomination noted LeBlanc is sometimes specifically requested by families, “because of her remarkable ability to holistically care and provide for the families in our clinic.” “I truly believe that she meets the criteria for the DAISY Award through her compassion, empathy, and caring nature as a pediatric nurse,” the colleague said.Thompson’s quarterly DAISY award is part of a nationwide nurse recognition program. To nominate a nurse to be the next DAISY recipient, visit www.ThompsonHealth.com/DAISY.Marissa LeBlanc of Canandaigua Medical Group Pediatrics, left, is shown with Thompson Health Vice President of Patient Care Services/Chief Nursing Officer Hazel Robertshaw after receiving The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses on July 11

Inexpensive Landscape Improvements

Looking at your yard, you may think it needs a little sprucing up but, alas, funds are a bit tight.  Or, you are considering selling the property and you would like a little curb appeal.  Here are some ideas, some a little more costly than others. Read More.
