Medical Center - Update

To everyone who has taken an interest and supported the cause through  letter writing, etc., it seems there is light at the end of the tunnel!  The Governor is putting up $8 mil in grants to Oswego County for improving primary and urgent care in Oswego, Fulton and Central Square.  What that will actually mean to CS is yet to be seen, but it is certainly forward progress. 

 

Here's the link to the full press release.

Central Square Medical Center Rally – Friday, Sept. 4 at 10 am

On Friday September 4th at 10 am there will be a (peaceful) rally in front of the Central Square Health Center to draw media attention to the Center’s uncertain future. For our senior citizens, keeping the health center open is critical. With limited access to healthcare, most admit they just won't be able get the care they need. Even those willing/able to travel elsewhere are finding that many other doctors are not accepting new patients, especially Medicare or Medicaid patients.

Interestingly enough, Lifetime's own mission statement reads in part:

We exist to assure, in the communities we serve, that as many people as possible have affordable, dignified access to needed, effective health care services, including long-term care services.

We recognize the need, and our responsibility, to reach out to all segments of the communities we serve, particularly the poor and the aged and others who are underserved, to enhance quality of life, including health status.

All anyone is asking is that they uphold their own mission statement.
