Protecting young minds, one helmet at a time 🧠🩵

Our Golisano Restorative Neurology & Rehabilitation Team just wrapped up our third annual community helmet drive, donating 100 helmets to local kids to help them stay safe on their bikes. Head injuries are preventable, and helmets are one of the simplest ways to protect growing brains.

With fun, exciting designs, we're hoping kids will be just as excited to wear their helmets as they are to ride their bikes. For safer adventures and healthier futures - We're here for it. 🚲

Thank you to our Unity Hospital and Ridgeway Ave Speech-Language Pathologists for helping patients regain their voice, rebuild memory and thinking skills, and safely eat a meal.

Your work supports recovery, confidence, and independence, and we’re so grateful for all you do, this Better Speech & Hearing Month - and every month. 🩵

Day in and day out, nurses show what it means to lead with care - at the bedside, in our halls, and across every shift.

During Nurses Week, we hit pause to celebrate with fun events, thoughtful moments, and well-deserved recognition.

To all of our nurses: thank you for the difference you make for patients, families, and each other.

We’re here for it, and we appreciate you more than words can say. 🩵

This Patient Experience Week, we're honoring the people who make every interaction count. 🩵

Meet Kellie Murray from our Food & Nutrition team - a team member who is a perfect example of how powerful a warm greeting and clear introduction can be.

Whether delivering meal trays or supporting patients in the Transitional Care dining room, Kellie begins every interaction by knocking, introducing herself, using patients' names, and explaining how she can help. She takes a moment to connect: straightening a tray, opening an orange juice, offering reassurance, or simply wishing someone a good day before she leaves.

Those few seconds of connection? They matter. They make patients feel seen, valued, and cared for.

Thank you, Kellie, for reminding us that when we slow down for a moment, connection follows. 🌟

Big news for our Unity Hospital patients, team members, and community! 🏗️

This week, we started construction on major new investments at Unity, expanding the Lipson Cancer Institute and creating a brand‑new outpatient imaging center right on campus, which will include:

✅ Doubled infusion capacity
✅ A dedicated oncology pharmacy
✅ Advanced imaging services all in one place

This $20 million investment in our community means more access, more coordination, and a more supportive experience for patients and families every step of the way.

For meeting the growing healthcare needs of the communities we serve, we’re here for it. 🩵

Let’s top last year together! 🧠🚲

Thanks to our community, we’re already more than halfway to what we raised last year with $1,422 donated — now we’re pushing to surpass last year’s $2,400 total.

Every donation helps put a properly fitted helmet on a child who needs one and keeps young minds safe.

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and we’re once again stepping up to keep our community’s young riders safe. 🧠🚲

The Golisano Restorative Neurology & Rehab Center at Unity Hospital is launching this year’s helmet drive to make sure kids who need bike and skate helmets have access to them. Prevention is the strongest defense against brain injury - and a properly fitted helmet can make all the difference.

Every dollar donated goes directly toward purchasing brand-new helmets for local children. Help us share this effort, and consider making a contribution today.

Setting the Standard for Nurse Education and Nurse Excellence, Right Here in our Community! ✨

🏆 We’re proud to congratulate our Nurse Residency Program for their recent Accreditation with Distinction from the ANCC - American Nurses Credentialing Center - the highest national recognition for practice transition programs - underscoring our commitment to exceptional mentorship, education, and support for new nurses.

🩺 Also this month, we welcomed nursing students to our Clinical Kick-Offs at Unity, where they connected with recruitment and unit leaders to explore specialties, ask questions, and discover the paths that inspire them as they begin their careers.

For every nursing student, every new graduate, and every step of the journey - we’re here for it. 🩵
