4 years ago, Don Labarge came to Morningstar needing full support.
A former fire chief and a familiar face throughout Oswego County, Don is known for his kindness, strength, and dedication to his community. Alongside his wife, a lifelong educator, he has spent years giving back and making a difference in the lives of others.
Over the past four years, Don worked tirelessly with our therapy department and staff—pushing himself every single day. Step by step… he showed us what determination truly looks like.
And today… it all paid off.
Don is going home.
We are so proud to have been part of his journey.
💙 This is what care looks like.
💙 This is why we do what we do.
