Community

Sunset Neighborhood, a community support program for seniors living at home, and Senior Network Health, a managed, long-term health care plan for seniors, have consolidated under the management of Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare.

The American Red Cross Traveling Donor Center “BUS” will be accepting blood donors at Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare's Regional Cancer Center located at the Faxton Campus, corner of Sunset and Newell Streets in Utica. The BUS will be in the Cancer Center parking lot on Thursday, July 22 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare, along with The Red Cross, urges current eligible blood donors in our community to give blood in honor, or in memory of, someone undergoing cancer treatments.
