HERKIMER, N.Y. — The Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties, Inc. has awarded a $15,000 grant to Bassett Healthcare Network’s Valley Health Services in Herkimer to advance its care for those recovering from strokes, neurological conditions including traumatic brain injury, and debilitating illnesses and surgeries. Valley Health Services used the grant funding to purchase equipment used in therapy sessions that advance a patient’s level of independence. The new tools help patients strengthen their sense of balance, use stairs, complete physical transfers, and improve their cognition and reaction time. The grant was made possible by the Wesley and Marion Small Fund at the Community Foundation. Valley Health Services is part of the Bassett Healthcare Network, which provides health care to a 5,600-square-mile region of upstate New York.
