Letter from the CEO

MICHAEL F. STAPLETON, JR., FACHE

In health care as in so many other aspects of our society, momentum is everything. Even during difficult times, if an organization is not growing, it is destined to falter. Coasting is never an option. Within Thompson Health, this is a guiding principle.

While it is no exaggeration to say the pandemic left us with significant staffing and financial challenges, we must continue to identify and pursue opportunities to meet the needs of our community. These projects lay the groundwork for ensuring our health system remains viable for many years to come.

In this issue of Partners in Health and Wellness, we have a great deal of growth to tell you about.

First is the April move for outpatient Physical, Occupational, and Sports Therapy. Currently based at our hospital, these services will soon be in a new 14,000-square-foot space next door to our Canandaigua Urgent Care. We are also excited to share the news about our primary care practice at the Sands Family YMCA opening later this year, and about our Farmington Medical Group taking shape on Route 332.

Elsewhere in this issue, you can learn about a robotic surgical assistant called the ROSA® Knee System, the growing role of advanced practice providers, our ongoing efforts to recruit and retain top-notch associates, technology designed to help therapists develop treatment plans for their patients, and the role of our Foundation in supporting our growth.

We hope you will enjoy reading all the latest news, and as always, we wish you good health.
