Oswego Health honors Pathfinder Bank with Community Partner Award

OSWEGO, N.Y. — Oswego Health recently recognized Pathfinder Bank with its Community Partner Award. 

The Community Partner Award is designed to honor a corporation or a foundation that “demonstrates outstanding commitment through financial support and through encouragement and motivation of others to take a leadership role toward philanthropy and community involvement,” according to an Oswego Health news release.

The award was one of three Oswego Health made as part of its planned 3rd annual Oswego Health Foundation Gala, where it recognizes local leaders including physicians and business partners who demonstrate a commitment to improving the community and its residents. The gala was postponed due to COVID-19, but Oswego Health still presented the awards to the winners at their respective facilities.

Pathfinder Bank has been serving Central New York since 1859, and it has a strong commitment to customer service and community involvement, Oswego Health contends. “An organization that understands what it means to give back to the community, Pathfinder Bank even instills a culture of philanthropy and volunteerism throughout their organization as they encourage its employees to take an active role in supporting the communities in which they live and work,” the release stated.

Pathfinder Bank was an early supporter of The Campaign for Oswego Health, donating $250,000, “signifying its conviction that the health system is providing the community with access to safe, modern, and high-quality medical services and programs.”

Pathfinder Bank is a New York State chartered commercial bank headquartered in Oswego, which has 10 full-service offices located in its market areas consisting of Oswego and Onondaga County and one limited-purpose office in Oneida County.   ν
