Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batavia, N.Y. \u2013 Throughout the course of the pandemic, the community has found unique ways to thank the healthcare heroes at United Memorial Medical Center (UMMC) through food deliveries, donations and letters. An ongoing fundraiser spearheaded by the St. Jerome Guild\u2019s Hometown Hero\u2019s Star Program honors the staff at UMMC and it also recently led to the donation of a freezer to store the COVID-19 vaccine.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven during the pandemic, the Guild has worked to support our hospital and employees,\u201d said Dan Ireland, President of UMMC. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful they were able to pull the community together to remind our healthcare heroes that they\u2019re appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 vaccines are now stored in the freezer as supplies arrive at UMMC. In addition, the fundraiser provides certificates of recognition to honor health care heroes. To date, nearly 1,000 certificates have been distributed to UMMC employees thanking them for their tireless efforts over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
