October 18 Information Session for Those Interested in Becoming ‘Compassion Partners’ at ThompsonUR Medicine Thompson Health’s manager of Spiritual Care is hosting an informational meeting on Tuesday, October 18 for community members who are interested in volunteering as “compassion partners” within F.F. Thompson Hospital and the adjacent M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center. The Rev. Janice D. Lum will hold the meeting in the Thompson Conference Center on the ground floor of F.F. Thompson Hospital, 350 Parrish Street in Canandaigua, beginning at 11 a.m. Those attending are asked to use the main entrance to the hospital; masks are required.Lum said compassion partners are an important component of Thompson’s volunteer program, offering “companionship, compassion, and conversation to our patients and residents.” She noted Thompson’s Spiritual Care Department believes spirituality can be valuable “in times of crisis, thanksgiving, and celebration as well as during transitions.” The department also recognizes that each person is unique in their beliefs, she said, and seeks to honor those differences.Those interested in attending the October 18 information session are asked to RSVP to [email protected].Lum noted volunteers within Thompson are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Those who serve as compassion partners within the Continuing Care Center must have received a bivalent booster targeting the most recent dominant subvariants of the coronavirus. More Thompson Flu Clinics Coming UpUR Medicine Thompson Health continues holding several public flu clinics in a number of locations this fall.Administered to those 9 and older at these clinics, the standard 2022-2023 vaccine provides protection against four flu virus strains. There also is a high-dose flu vaccine for those 65 and older. This contains additional antigen designed to create a stronger immune response for the recipient. Community members are asked to please wear masks to the clinics, as Thompson abides by CDC guidelines requiring masks in all locations where healthcare is being delivered.The  schedule of remaining clinics is as follows:

  • Wednesday, October 12, 3-6:30 p.m., Veterans Park, 6910 Routes 5 & 20 in East Bloomfield

  • Monday, October 17, 3-6:30 p.m., Newark Urgent Care, Unit 11 at 800 West Miller Street in Newark

  • Monday, November 7, 3-6:30 p.m., Canandaigua Urgent Care, 699 South Main Street in Canandaigua

  • Monday, November 14, 3-6:30 p.m., Farmington Urgent Care, 1160 Corporate Drive in Farmington

The flu shots are free to patients with insurance (patients must present an insurance card at the time of the visit). The self-pay cost for those without insurance is $40, and $75 for the high-dose vaccine (cash, check, MasterCard or Visa).  Visit www.ThompsonHealth.com/flu or call 585-924-1510 for more information.

The Finger Lakes region in New York is a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of major cities. The area is known for the quaintness of its inns, historical landmarks, and of course, lakes. Visitors love the fall activities like apple picking, viewing fall foliage, and walking the outdoor trails. Still, families, couples and friend groups from the tri-state area to as far as Montreal, Boston, Washington, D.C., and even Nashville plan trips to the Finger Lakes for the opportunity to experience one of the oldest wine regions in the United States.

Harvest is underway! We are loving the scenes from around the lake, including these recent captures at

Indigenous Peoples Day

On October 8, 2021, President Biden signed a proclamation declaring October 11 a national holiday to  celebrate and honor Native Americans.  It is celebrated on the second Monday in October, the same day as Columbus Day.  While it is a federal holiday, not all of the states have adopted the declaration. Read More.

Hurricanes

A hurricane or tropical cyclone forms from a low-pressure system combined with thunderstorms in tropical or subtropical waters.  The warm oceanic air fuels the storm and surface winds move in a circular pattern, called a closed circulation.  While the center or eye of the storm is calm and clear, the area that immediately surrounds the eye, or eyewall, contain the strongest winds. Read More.

Pancakes

Pancakes, flapjacks, hotcakes, griddle cake, crepes, blini, boxty, latke, and so many other names.  Sometimes the difference is just regional names for the same item, but often it is the combination of ingredients that determines what you call them. Read More.
