We are pleased to be part of this important initiative for the holiday season.

Let’s talk turkey, Watertown! 🦃 We’re teaming up with ModifyHealth , Watertown Urban Mission , and our incredible partners across Jefferson County to bring 1,000 free frozen turkeys to local families with Medicaid.

Join us at the Mayor Joseph M. Butler Pavilion on Saturday, Nov. 22 at 10 a.m. It’s first come, first served with drive-through pickup.

We’ll also be onsite to connect Medicaid Members with free food, housing support, rides to services, and more through our Social Care Network program. Stop by, or share this post with someone who could use extra support this holiday season!

Some friendly reminders to those who visit our Emergency Department:
-Consider your options. Are your symptoms non life-threatening? It may be more appropriate to visit your primary care provider or a local urgent care facility.
-Plan for wait time. Bring along a book, a phone charger, or a support person. Know that wait times will differ based on the needs of each person in the Emergency Department.
-Be kind. In the Emergency Department, emotions can run high. You or those around you may be experiencing stressful or painful situations. Our team of caregivers are here to help as quickly and safely as possible. Your patience and understanding goes a long way in this endeavor!
