Kids in the Kitchen 

On Wednesday, our Safe Kids program, in collaboration with FeedMore WNY, hosted a memorable Kids in the Kitchen Class. The children not only had an amazing time but also gained invaluable knowledge about nutrition and cooking safety. 

I would like to thank our Safe Kids Coordinator Sydney and Perry from FeedMore WNY for coordinating the event. I would also like to extend a thank you to the City of Olean Firefighters Selph, Smith, Peters, Woodin, and Shoemaker for their presentation on fire prevention and safety. Thier commitment to the safety and well-being of our community is truly commendable. 

As always, we remain committed to enhancing education and food accessibility for families and children throughout Western New York, and this week's achievements are a testament to our collective efforts.

Step Into Healthcare Career Academy 

I’m excited to share a unique program that Southern Tier Health Care System, Inc. is actively involved in - the Cattaraugus County Career Academy (CCCA). This program is a collaborative effort with Southern Tier West and is designed to introduce young people to three distinct career paths: Advanced Manufacturing, Business & Entrepreneurship, and Health Care & Medical Wellness. 

Specifically, within the framework of our Step Into Healthcare program, we are taking charge of the Health Care & Medical Wellness segment of CCCA for high school students. Our goal is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the various health professions available to them. To achieve this, we have lined up an exciting group of guest speakers, engaging hands-on activities, and enriching field trips.
