Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) and Olean General Hospital (OGH), Kaleida Health facilities, brought some holiday cheer to the patients who could not be home with their families for the Thanksgiving holiday. 

Patients at BRMC, OGH as well as residents at the Pavilion, were offered a festive holiday meal. In addition, patients also received a complimentary meal for an invited guest to dine with them on Thanksgiving Day.

“This time of year, is always so special, and I am grateful to be involved in the meal program for our patients. Bringing joy and enhancing our patients’ overall experience is a top priority for us,” said Robert Holzer, interim general manager, food and nutrition services.  “Being away from loved ones during the holidays can be difficult. We hope this small gesture helps make our patients’ Thanksgiving a little brighter.”

The Thanksgiving meal consisted of roast turkey with gravy, homestyle mashed potatoes, herb seasoned stuffing, garlic roasted vegetables, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and any further dietary requirements needed for each patient.
