Greetings Everyone,
Beginning tomorrow, June 26th, Elmwood Ave by Kenmore Mercy hospital will be down to one lane. This will likely result in traffic back ups leading up to the facility. Please take note and adjust accordingly. Attached map for your reference.

Greetings Everyone,
We are quickly approaching the deadline for getting the credentialing completed and submitted. Agency Leaders, please make sure that you submit your “membership summary” report by June 30th in order to remain compliant with WREMAC policy. If you are a provider that needs credentialing, please get with your agency leadership to get that completed. Currently, we have only received about 1/3 of the agencies that have submitted for this year. If you are one of those we thank you. Remember, you can submit the report as many times as you like until June 30th, but you should make sure to submit it at least once.
Any questions feel free to contact myself or Karen
Greetings Everyone,
Originally we sent out a map showing the alternate routes related to the recent construction going on near ECMC. It was reported that the map was confusing and less than accurate. Some of the staff at ECMC took the time to clarify this a little bit better, so we wanted to share their efforts. Attached is a better outline of alternate routes to ECMC. Please feel free to download and share with you providers.

Greetings Everyone,
It has been brought to my attention that starting on Monday, June 3rd, 2024, the Grider Street Bridge (the most used bridge to get to ECMC from the 33) will be closed by the NYS DOT for rehibiliation work. According to the NYS DOT, it will remain closed under this November. I have included a flyer that outlines this and has proposed alternate routes for you. Please make sure that you share this with your agency and your providers as to avoid any unnecessary delays getting to ECMC during those high priority transport calls. Thanks everyone.
