We understand that the current government shutdown may cause uncertainty or disruptions in essential benefits, such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). We know that when resources shift, it can create difficult choices for individuals and families — sometimes affecting other important needs.
If you are feeling the impact of these changes or anticipate challenges in the coming weeks, please reach out to the Center’s Social Work team. We are here to help you explore available community resources, navigate benefit concerns, and identify supports that can help during this time.
You can contact us by calling 585-922-5700 or emailing Julie.dorey1@rochesterregional.org. All conversations are confidential.
We know these situations can be stressful, and you are not alone. Please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re here to support you.
Warm regards,
Mary M. Gooley Hemophilia Center
