Our Primary Benefactors
“Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.” This is our mission. It’s what we strive for and ultimately what we do – every single day. A wish carries Hope and Joy. It has the power to make a child feel stronger, more in control and determined to fight through the medical journey ahead. Many families and healthcare providers believe the wish experience is the turning point in a wish kid’s battle against their illness. Your gift can help Make-A-Wish Central New York grant the wish of every eligible child. Nearly 200 kids are waiting. Some simply can’t… Please, help us transform lives, one wish at a time. Visit cny.wish.org today or email Kate at kveley@cny.wish.org.
River Community Wellness Program at River Hospital provides Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) treatment to America’s heroes, past and present. Active Duty military members diagnosed with PTSD are treated in the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). Veterans diagnosed with PTSD are provided services in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Both the PHP and IOP are group focused programs drawing on the strength created when a group of like-minded individuals join together in the healing process. The program keeps our military members and Veterans close to home while they are healing and learning to cope.
