MONTOUR FALLS, NY (June 30, 2023) – Recently, Schuyler Hospital and Cayuga Health officials received a charitable donation to the Schuyler Foundation from the Watkins Glen Elks Lodge #1546.
The $5,000 donation is for the Seneca View Skilled Nursing Facility at Schuyler Hospital. The donation stems from a grant passed through the National Elks’ Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks of the USA, also known as the Grand Lodge.
“We are so fortunate to have the ongoing consideration of our local and national Elks organizations,” said Kimberly Sprague, Director of the Schuyler Health Foundation. “Watkins Glen Elks Club has always supported our community and our hospital. Our Seneca View Skilled Nursing Facility is home to so many residents of the local community. They will certainly benefit greatly from this thoughtful donation.”
Over the past four years, the Elks have donated $17,000 to Schuyler Hospital for various needs.
“Our organizations are focused on increasing the quality of community and spirit of Watkins Glen and Greater Schuyler County,” said Watkins Glen Elks Lodge Treasurer Tom Phillips. “As Elks, we take great pride in knowing we can support those in need in our community.”
Phillips is also a member of the Schuyler Health Foundation Board of Directors.
what our patients are saying
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
