Great care happens when we work together. 🤝 🩺

A heartfelt thank you to the students of Norwood-Norfolk Central School's Key Club for their generous donation of Comfort Cubs to our Obstetrics unit at Canton-Potsdam Hospital. 🩵

These therapeutic weighted teddy bears provide emotional support to individuals and families experiencing grief, loss, or trauma, offering comfort during some of life's most challenging moments.

We're grateful to Mickenzie Weems, Ella Chase, Autumn Rowe, Josephine Steffenhagen, Raelee Dashnaw, and the entire Key Club for their compassion and commitment to serving our community. Your thoughtfulness makes a real difference! 🧸

There’s no such thing as a “mini” emergency when it comes to your brain. 🧠

A “mini-stroke,” also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), may cause symptoms that go away quickly, but it’s often a serious warning sign of a future stroke.

Why both are emergencies:
• A TIA can happen minutes or hours before a major stroke
• Up to 1 in 5 people who have a TIA will have a stroke within 90 days
• Quick treatment = better outcomes and can prevent permanent damage

⚠️ If you or someone you know experiences any symptoms of stroke, including face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, vision problems, sudden confusion, or dizziness or loss of balance with no known cause, call 911, even if the symptoms have passed.

Shoutout to our community and the Clinical Research team! 👏🏻

Improving cancer care starts with detecting it earlier. Caris Life Sciences is collecting donated samples to help researchers understand cancer on a molecular level and work toward their goal of earlier detection and better treatment options.⭐️

In record time, our rural community became one of the largest contributors to Caris Life Sciences' Biorepository, and the SLR Clinical Research team continues to invite qualified patients to consider contributing blood to support this research. The response from our community has been truly extraordinary.🩵

A week of gratitude, celebration, and a whole lot of heart across the St. Lawrence Region.

During National Health Systems' Week, we recognized the incredible team members who make care possible by showing up for our patients, supporting one another, and making a difference in our communities every single day.

Thank you for all that you do. We’re proud to work alongside you. 🩺🩵🌟

Supporting safe driving in the North Country! 🚗

Clarkson University occupational therapy students hosted a CarFit event for local drivers, and we were proud to have our own Occupational Therapists Danielle Hough, Rachael Melville, and Caroline Arcand Dusseault there to help.

CarFit is an educational program that helps older adults assess how well their vehicles fit them, promoting safer, more comfortable driving for all.

Thank you to the Clarkson students and our OT team for supporting health and wellness in our community beyond our hospitals and care centers. 🩵

From hospital floors to outpatient practices, our nurses bring dedication, compassion, and strength to every moment of care.

This Nurses Week, we celebrated all across the region with appreciation events, themed days, and meaningful moments to recognize the impact you make - because the care you give deserves to be celebrated, too.

To our St. Lawrence Region nurses: thank you for the heart, resilience, and connection you bring to your patients, your teams, and your communities.

We’re here for it, and so grateful for you. 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Spring blooms and bright smiles filled our Center for Cancer Care. 🌼

North Country Science and Technology students recently stopped by with a thoughtful surprise - handmade pipe cleaner flowers, each one crafted with care for our patients and caregivers. These colorful creations brought smiles all around and a touch of springtime warmth.

A big thank you to Yuxin Lin, Matayah Reed, and all the students who shared their creativity and kindness.

In a season of renewal, moments like this remind us how powerful it is to show up for one another. 🩵

A heartfelt thank you to Gouverneur Savings & Loan Association for their generous $25,000 philanthropic commitment to Gouverneur Hospital! 🌟🩵

This incredible gift will support a refresh of our main lobby - the first point of connection for so many patients, families, and visitors. A welcoming, patient-centered entrance strengthens the care experience from the moment someone walks through our doors.

Partnerships like this remind us what it means to be rooted in community. Thank you, GSL, for your dedication to health and wellness across the North Country. 🙌
