The drive-thru event will begin at 3 p.m. and continue until the chicken is sold out. Prepared by Grove Barbecue Company of Naples, meals will include a marinated half chicken, salt potatoes, coleslaw, and a dinner roll.

The cost is $13 per person – or two for $25 – with proceeds benefitting the Palliative Care Program at the 178-bed M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center, the skilled-nursing facility operated by UR Medicine Thompson Health on Parrish Street in Canandaigua.

Drs. A. David Peter and Joseph Talarico are master surgeons with Advanced Surgical Services at F.F.

In addition to meeting one-on-one with attendees to perform private screenings, the surgeons will answer questions about hernia causes and symptoms, as well as discuss the benefits of minimally-invasive surgery using daVinci

National Preparedness Month

Did you know that September was National Preparedness Month?  Neither did I.  However, considering the tragedy that occurred in this country on September 11, 2001; hurricane season is looming, and winter is just around the corner, it makes a lot of sense. Read More.

Juice Boxes

Parents, grandparents, nannies, pretty much anyone knows the value of that little juice box.  They are convenient for both the adult and child and represents a snack or special treat. Read more.

Side Breads

Very often when we serve a meal, we add a slice or two of bread just to finish things off or to sop up juices.  There are easy choices like a slice of whole wheat from the grocery store or adding some butter and garlic to a baguette.  Here are some other considerations. Read More.
