In these hard economic times, it’s the strength of the community that brings us all together. The true spirit of the holiday isn’t found in the parties or gifts, but in the memories we make with friends and loved ones. In celebration of the holiday season, the annual Children’s Christmas Party was held Saturday, December 7, 2019 in the Brooks Cafeteria. Sponsored by the Auxiliary of BMH, the event featured activities, refreshments and a special visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus (Kenny Long and Cindi Polowy). The event was open to all children and grandchildren of BMH & TLC employees, volunteers and medical staff.
Please be advised that flu season has been declared by the NYS Health Commissioner, which means it is prevalent through all Counties. In light of the declaration, Brooks-TLC's infection control team recommends those who are ill to stay at home so as to not expose others, and to cover their cough. Children are discouraged from visiting the hospital. Masks are available to those have cough and/or fever who need to come to the hospital. Individuals in our community are still encouraged to get the flu vaccine.  Brooks-TLC Hospital System, Inc. has announced effective December 2, 2019, its Patient Service Center - Draw Site, will relocate to 183 E. Main Street, Suite #102, Fredonia, NY.
