When you give to the Orleans Community Health Foundation, you’re not giving to an organization.

You’re giving to people. To families. To neighbors.

Your generosity helps patients regain independence, confidence, and hope—close to home.

Please consider making a gift that helps your friends, neighbors, and family.

In addition to laboratory services in Medina and Albion, you can visit the Middleport location, adjacent to Dr. David Stahl & Dr. Celeste Stahl Balaban. This past week, our friend George the Elf visited the laboratory for a tour to understand how easy it is for patients to use.

On Friday, George made a very important stop to visit Marc Shurtz, CEO of Orleans Community Health. While they used the visit to discuss the plans for the Medina Healthcare Center within Medina Memorial Hospital, they also used it to discuss the time Santa would be flying through Orleans County. Hospitals are regularly put on notice, in case they need to make a quick stop.

Additionally, this visit was George's chance to wish Marc a happy birthday.

Join us in wishing Marc Shurtz a happy birthday and hoping he celebrates with a Buffalo Bills victory.
