Olean General Hospital is hoping to provide some holiday cheer to their patients this Christmas.
OGH will provide special holiday meals for their patients who cannot be home with their families on Sunday for the Christmas holiday.
OGH wants to ensure that even if it’s just a festive meal, their patients still get to celebrate the holidays in some way. Also, patients can invite family or friends to enjoy the holiday meal with them — any additional meals may be purchased for $5 per person.
“We’re overjoyed to be able to give our patients some holiday cheer when they need it most,” says Julie Becker, general manager, food and nutrition services. “No one wants to be away from their home, family, and friends during the holidays. Through these small gestures we hope to show our patients that our goal is to create a positive patient experience.”
Visitors are kindly reminded that masks must be worn at all times to ensure the safety of all patients.
Indeed, it’s a good point in the week to make mention of anyone and everyone who will be working this weekend, particularly those in health care and in public safety and public service.
That includes nurses and aides, doctors and physician assistants in ERs, as well as EMTs. paramedics, ambulance service volunteers, firefighters and law enforcement officers. To all we express our gratitude and say a prayer for you on Christmas Day.
