WASHINGTON D.C. – Congresswoman Elise M. Stefanik recently thanked United Helpers for their 125 years of service while speaking on the floor of Congress.
“Mr.
Speaker, I rise today to recognize United Helpers for their 125 years of giving
aid to those in need across the North Country,” she said on Wednesday, April
26. Less than a week later a bound copy of her remarks were presented to
representatives from United Helpers.
“While
we certainly don’t work in health care for the purpose of seeking recognition,
125 years is an impressive milestone, and it’s nice to be acknowledged on a
stage such as this,” said United Helpers Chief Operating Office Stacey
Cannizzo. “This isn’t a group of employees being recognized, this is anyone who
has ever worked for or supported United Helpers being recognized.”
The
presentation was made on Monday by Constituent Liaison Joanne McClusky, with
Marketing Manager Jordan Downing-Duke accepting the document on behalf of
United Helpers.
During
her time speaking about United Helpers on the floor of Congress, Mrs. Stefanik
touched on several aspects of the organization’s history, as well as its
growth.
“For
over a century, the organization has provided care for those who were impacted
by unprecedented times and has always sought to provide value to their
community in any way possible,” she said. “Their organization continues to grow
and become even more successful in their mission to contribute necessary and
vital services to individuals and families in need.”
Today
those services include mental health services at clinics in Canton and
Ogdensburg, in-home care coordination services for people across St. Lawrence
County, physical and occupational therapy, independent senior living, assisted
living, skilled nursing, dementia care, home health care, care for people with
developmental disabilities, affordable housing for seniors and people with
disabilities, and more. The organization employs more than 700 people across St.
Lawrence and Jefferson counties.
“On
behalf of New York’s 21st Congressional District, I would like to
congratulate United Helpers on their 125 years of extraordinary service to
North Country residents, and I would like to thank every community member who
has supported the organization’s mission to help those in need,” Mrs. Stefanik
said.
