CEO Update: September 29, 2023

Sharing CPR Knowledge

Cardiac emergencies can strike at any moment. The important question is: will you know what to do? As National Preparedness Month comes to a close, our regional paramedic program students are urging everyone to be prepared for potential health emergencies. This past week, they've been actively demonstrating life-saving techniques to community members across our three counties. I would like to thank each one of them for sharing their knowledge with a community member. ​

Congratulations to Dr. Watkins!  

County leaders from across the state have chosen Dr. Watkins to be the second vice president for the New York State Association of Counties. Dr. Watkins has been the Cattaraugus County public health director since November 2009. In 2020, he was also the president of the New York State Association of County Health Officials. As the second vice president, Dr. Watkins is on track to become the president in September 2026 as part of NYSAC's leadership. ​
