We’re proud to recognize the outstanding efforts of two of our dedicated team members, Tiffany and Mikayla. Recently, they organized a staff-wide donation drive, collected essential hygiene items and necessities, and delivered them to the City Mission of Schenectady, an organization serving our unhoused neighbors. Their compassion and initiative truly exemplify the spirit of service that we strive to uphold every day.

We invite our community to join us in applauding Tiffany, Mikayla, and the rest of our team for their remarkable contribution!

It is with sorrow and regret that we learned of Paramedic Kevin Robert’s unexpected passing yesterday. Kevin was a flight medic for LifeNet of New York and a paramedic at Malta-Stillwater EMS, and our thoughts are with our brothers and sisters as well as his family. Kevin was a member of our family many years ago and has left an everlasting impression on us. He will be missed.
