LOWVILLE â Every year, Friends of Lewis County Hospice presents a giant symbolic check for a significant amount of money to Lewis County Health System in support of the unique care people receive at the end of their lives through Hospice.
On Friday, that check was for $125,000.
The financial relationship between Friends and Hospice is unique in that it is not driven strictly by the amount of money raised through donations or fundraising events and activities, but rather by the operating deficit for Hospice as shared with Friends by Health System Chief Executive Officer Gerald R. Cayer.
âWe wait for Lewis County hospital who goes over finances for the Hospice program and then the (Friends) board decides how much to give every year,â said Friends Treasurer Linda J. Noftsier.

LOWVILLE, N.Y. (WWNY) - Lewis County General is one hospital likely to lose at least some of its vaccine doses.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said earlier this week that hospitals will have to give back what doses they don’t use by the end of the week.
Lewis County General has administered only half of what it was given.
“If we play our cards right, very few doses will have to leave our county and that’s our goal.”
Every day in the North Country, more and more healthcare workers are rolling up their sleeves to get the COVID-19 vaccine. So, who’s next in line? We have more on Phase 2 of the vaccine rollout.
