MEDINA – Orleans Community Health has issued an announcement highlighting its successes in the first half of 2023.

After a solid 2022 that included expanding services and a higher patient volume, Orleans Community Health has more positive things to report about the start to 2023, according to Marc Shurtz, CEO of Orleans Community Health.

“Recognitions, new highs with patient volume and many other things highlight why we’re excited for things to come,” Shurtz said.

Highlights of the first half of 2023 include expanding primary care services at the Albion Healthcare Center. Cheryl Kast, an Orleans County resident, started with OCH’s Albion Healthcare Center in January and brought a decade of experience directly serving the community with her.

The Wound Care Center was recognized as a “Center of Distinction” for its patient care. This center opened three years ago and has already expanded hours with an increase in patient visits.

It was announced in June, Buffalo Business First recognized Rhonda Woody as one of their 25 “Excellence in Health Care” recipients. Woody is lead sonographer and technical director of echocardiography at Orleans Community Health.

As the second half kicks off, Shurtz said there are several exciting announcements forthcoming. Additional recognitions and some returning events, including For Women Only, will be taking place before the end of the year.
