UTICA, N.Y. — The Masonic Care Community (MCC) has received a $9,837 Excellus BlueCross BlueShield Health and Wellness Award to support MCC’s wound-care program.
Wounds are a common medical issue that can affect people’s health and quality of life. Older individuals can be vulnerable to chronic wounds due to age-related changes.
“This critical funding provided by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield will be used for additional wound-care training certification for our assistant director of nursing and wound-care specialist,” Mara Mulligan, MCC director of strategic marketing and philanthropy, said in a news release. “We will also secure new shortwave diathermy equipment which uses safe, electromagnetic waves to create therapeutic effects and assists in the treatment of wounds to improve health-care outcomes for our residents.”
The Masonic Care Community is a nonprofit organization that provides senior health-care services and senior-living opportunities. It also offers rehabilitative services, home health care, and an onsite childcare center. MCC employs more than 900 people and provides care and housing for more than 500 seniors.
