Walk-in Flu Clinic Slated for December 27
Thompson is hosting a walk-in flu clinic on Tuesday, December 27 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Farmington Urgent Care, 1160 Corporate Drive in Farmington.
Vaccines are available for everyone age 9 and up. For those 65 and older, we are offering a high-dose flu vaccine containing an additional antigen designed to create a stronger immune response. Please note, the high-dose vaccine is available in limited quantities, while supplies last.
Flu shots are free to patients with insurance (please present insurance cards). The self-pay cost for those without insurance is $40 ($75 for the high-dose vaccine).
‘Live Well, Be Well’ Series Starts January 4
The Wellness Department from UR Medicine Thompson Health is conducting a free, six-week workshop called “Live Well, Be Well: Take Charge of Your Health,” focusing on a researched-based chronic disease self-management program developed by Stanford University.
Beginning January 4, the class will meet from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday – through February 8 – at the Ontario County Safety Training Center, 2914 County Road 48 in Hopewell. It is for anyone with a chronic health condition or anyone who is a caregiver for someone with a chronic health condition including but not limited to arthritis, asthma, diabetes, emphysema, heart disease, lung disease, or Parkinson’s.
Participants will learn how to build a more effective relationship with their doctors; how to communicate with family and friends about their condition; eating tips to help them feel better; how to manage medications; how to set and achieve goals; and how to deal with pain, frustration, isolation, and lack of energy. In addition, participants will explore developing an exercise routine.
Class size is limited. To register or for more information, call Amanda Reynolds at 585-396-6589 or email

College Tour
High school juniors and some seniors are excited about scheduling tours of potential college and university campuses. As a parent, you need to focus on the realities of the school and ask the boring, but essential, questions in order to make the best decision possible. Here are some things to mull over. Read More.

Planning a Cookie Exchange
Actually you can throw a cookie swap party any time of the year, but they are most prevalent toward the end of the calendar, during the holiday times. The premise is simple. You invite friends who each bring several dozen cookies; you serve an appropriate beverage or two; everyone munches on the baked goods while chatting. At the end of the afternoon or evening, each person takes samples from each participant, so you leave with about as many cookies as you came with, except they are not yours. A recipe exchange is also usually included. Read More.

Holiday Cookies
Baking is a mainstay of the end of the year with all of its holidays. Whether it is a family activity or gifts intended for relatives, friends, or rewards, it can be fun to try some recipes that you haven’t baked before. Read More.
