We did it! We exceeded our goal for our internal campaign supporting the United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes, with Thompson associates contributing more than $85,000 to support community agencies that do incredible work. This includes building resilience during crises, advancing health, creating opportunities for young people, and helping families achieve financial stability. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. It’s a great example of the amazing things we can do together!

From poodle skirts, to fuzzy dice, to copious amounts of chrome, the car show at our retirement community – Ferris Hills at West Lake – had it all. A variety of cars spanning several decades were on display for those enjoying a picnic and music from Paul Strowe. It’s hard to imagine a more perfect afternoon!

You may have noticed this fine feathered friend in the album of photos from our recent nursing home carnival and perhaps she looked familiar. Although she was masquerading as a duck for the event, it is none other than the famous Chicken Patti, the beloved mascot of our annual Clucks for Bucks fundraiser! Patti wants you to save the date of Thursday, September 25: That’s when Grove Barbecue Company of Naples is again partnering with the Palliative Care Committee at our M.M. Continuing Care Center to raise funds for initiatives benefiting residents and families. The benefit chicken barbecue will start at 3 p.m. in Parking Lot B at Crosswinds Wesleyan Church on Middle Cheshire Road in Canandaigua. With 350 meals, the drive-thru event typically sells out before 6 p.m., with Chicken Patti steering traffic its way by waving to drivers on nearby Routes 5 and 20. Hope to see you there!

In addition, our hospital chapel has relocated and is now closer to our ICU. Thank you for your continued flexibility and as we move forward with these exciting improvements to Thompson!

We join our friends at Ontario County Public Health in wishing area students a happy and healthy school year by sharing some simple tips for stopping the spread of germs!

🎒🍎 Welcome Back to School, Ontario County! 🏫✨

As we kick off a new school year full of learning, laughter, and fresh notebooks, let’s keep those germs at bay and stay healthy together! 💪

Here are some easy ways to help students (and staff!) avoid getting sick:

🧼 Wash hands often — especially before eating and after recess
😷 Cover coughs and sneezes with elbows, not hands
🚰 Stay hydrated — water is your best friend
🍎 Eat nutritious meals to boost immunity
😴 Get plenty of sleep — tired bodies get sick faster
🧽 Keep shared items clean — desks, tablets, and supplies
🏠 Stay home if you're feeling under the weather
💉 Consider getting a flu shot — it’s a simple step that helps protect everyone

Let’s make this school year one of health, happiness, and high-fives (the sanitized kind)! 💙
