CEO Update: October 10, 2025

Building Healthier Communities Together

I am proud to share the great work our team is doing to support the New York State 1115 Waiver. This important initiative is designed to transform health care delivery by addressing not only medical needs but also the social determinants of health—things like housing, transportation, nutrition, and access to community resources that play such a vital role in overall well-being.

Through the Waiver, we are building stronger connections across our region and ensuring that the people we serve have the support they need to live healthier lives. I am proud to say that our team continues to meet key metrics while also creating meaningful partnerships that will have a lasting impact.

This work is being led by Jordan and supported by Lindsey, Mark, KC, Lacey, and Bethany. Their leadership and teamwork are helping position Southern Tier Health Care System as a strong partner in advancing the Waiver’s goals and improving health outcomes in our rural communities.

Together, we are making real progress, and I look forward to continuing this important work with all of you.

Office Closure Notice

Southern Tier Health Care System office will be closed on Monday, October 13, in observance of Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day. While many of us will take this time to pause and recharge, we recognize that many of our partners in health care, EMS, and community services will continue working throughout the holiday to keep our communities safe and supported.

We are grateful for their dedication and commitment. To our own staff, I hope you enjoy the long weekend and return refreshed as we continue our important work together on Tuesday.
