Greetings and Happy New Year!
With a new year comes some change, as some of you may know John Oishei Children’s Hospital has been renamed to Golisano Children’s Hospital of Buffalo effective January 1, 2026. Please be aware of this change for your EPCR systems.
Agencies that use the New York State Elite Free System, the Division of EMS Data Team will adjust the name change once they get verification from the Department of Health. Please continue using John Oishei Children’s Hospital until the state makes the change.
When I receive further updates or any other information regarding the change; our office will send more correspondence.

Greetings,
Please see this important message from Catholic Healthcare Systems. Thank you!
Hello all –
Attached please find communication regarding universal masking precautions at Catholic Health. At this time, this is not a mandate, so individuals do have the right to refuse, but we are asking for everyone’s assistance in stopping the spread of the flu. Please distribute the attached communication to your providers and ask that they wear a mask when entering all Catholic Health facilities.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, thank you.

Emily James from Catholic Health asked that we share this message regarding CT services at the MACC this Friday 12/19/2025.
On Friday, December 19, 2025, from 2:30am – 4:30am Mercy Ambulatory Care Center will not have CT capabilities due to an electrical upgrade project. During this time please reroute any potential stroke patients as the MACC will not have the capability to obtain neuro imaging.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, thank you.
