CEO Update: August 15, 2025

Hepatitis C Rural Health Focus Group

STHCS is proud to partner with the NYS Department of Health Charles D. Cook Office of Rural Health and the AIDS Institute’s Bureau of Hepatitis Health Care and Epidemiology (BHHCE) to host a regional focus group on September 16 at 8:30 am at our facility.

This in-person focus group is part of a statewide effort to better understand the challenges and strengths rural communities face related to hepatitis C testing, treatment, and cure. The goal is to support New York State’s plan to eliminate hepatitis C as a public health issue by 2030.

BHHCE will facilitate the session and provide light refreshments. This will be limited to approximately 10 people, and I ask anyone who would be interested in participating to reach out to me immediately to ensure we can make them part of the focus group.

We are honored to help bring providers and community members together to inform future public health efforts.

Thankful from the Lake

This week, I’m spending some much-needed time with my family at Cuba Lake. It’s one of my favorite places to relax, reflect, and recharge. While I’m away, it brings me so much peace knowing that everything at STHCS is running smoothly — and that’s entirely because of the incredible team we have in place.

Thank you all for the dedication, professionalism, and heart you bring to your work each and every day. I’m truly grateful to work alongside such a committed group of people.
