Pathways to Care Update

As we continue moving our Pathways to Care program forward, I want to share a quick update. Our Julota build is underway, and we’re getting closer to the training phase. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be finalizing participant lists and setting up training sessions so we can begin rolling this work out across the region.

This program is a key part of how we support our rural communities, expand access to services, and strengthen connections between agencies. I appreciate everyone who has been helping move this project along — your collaboration is what makes progress possible.

National Rural Health Day

Yesterday was National Rural Health Day, a time set aside each year to recognize the unique challenges and incredible strengths of rural communities across the country. It’s also a great reminder of the vital role our rural providers, EMS professionals, and community partners play in keeping people connected to care.

For more than 30 years, STHCS has been committed to supporting the health and well-being of the rural communities we serve. Days like this reinforce why our work matters and highlight the impact we make together. I’m grateful for the dedication, collaboration, and resilience that continue to strengthen our healthcare system and support the people of Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties.
