MEDINA – The Lyndonville Area Foundation has fulfilled its $100,000 pledge to Orleans Community Health’s Medina Healthcare Center capital campaign, reinforcing its commitment to improving healthcare accessibility for residents of Lyndonville and Orleans County.
Currently Orleans County ranks among the lowest in New York State for health outcomes, facing a shortage of primary care providers and limited outpatient services. The Medina Healthcare Center will directly address these issues by expanding primary care, pediatrics, cardiology, wound care, surgical, and lab services, all conveniently located at the hospital. In 2024 alone, more than 2,000 patients from Lyndonville received care through Orleans Community Health.
“We are honored to support this initiative, which ensures greater access to essential healthcare services,” said David Cook, board president of the Lyndonville Area Foundation. “This project aligns with our mission to enhance the well-being of our residents.”
The Foundation has a history of supporting Orleans Community Health, including past initiatives such as the IV Pump Campaign.
“We are incredibly grateful for the Lyndonville Area Foundation’s generosity,” said Megan Johnson, executive director at Orleans Community Health Foundation. “Their support is helping us expand outpatient services and improve healthcare accessibility for our community.”
The Medina Healthcare Center capital campaign continues to seek community support to further enhance healthcare services. For more information on how to contribute, please visit www.OrleansCommunityHealth.org or call (585) 798-8426.
