CMG Pharmacy Now Offering J&J Vaccine

Open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, the Canandaigua Medical Group (CMG) Pharmacy is now administering the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, which some find to be a convenient option because it only involves only one dose.

The vaccine is available to anyone ages 18 and up, whether a patient of Thompson Health or not.

The pharmacy is located at 335 Parrish St. in Canandaigua. Those who would like to stop by for the vaccine are asked to call ahead first (585-602-0300) so the pharmacists can plan and therefore eliminate any potential waste (each vial has five to six doses, and is good for five hours after first puncture).

Thompson Again Awarded Perinatal Care Certification

The Birthing Center at UR Medicine Thompson Hospital has once again earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval

for Perinatal Care Certification by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a healthcare organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.

This advanced certification was first acquired by Thompson in 2016, with the first re-certification in 2018. As one of only 60 organizations in the United States to have achieved this certification, the hospital underwent a rigorous, on-site review in June.

There were 692 babies born at Thompson in 2020.

Easy Enhancements to Your Landscape

The Independence Day holiday is over and you feel like you need a new project but it hot and you don’t want to put forth too much effort. Still it would be nice to spruce up the outdoors a little bit. Here are some simple ideas about how to make.

Common Summer Illnesses

Being outdoors with family and friends is one of the definite perks of the summer. However, there are some situations and illnesses that are more prevalent during this time of the year. Here are some things to keep in mind.

Zesty Chicken Casserole

The French are credited with “inventing” the casserole, both the meal and the dish in which it is generally cooked. There are many recipes and there is an old joke about a casserole requiring cream of mushroom soup to be authentic. They go by other names like hotpot, ragout, and the British version called a bake.
