Dialysis patients typically require treatment three times a week, with each session lasting three to four hours. Adirondack Health’s unit currently operates with nine machines, many of which are nearing the end of their serviceable lives. The funds raised will go directly toward the purchase of a new dialysis machine.
“This donation helps us continue delivering vital care to patients across our region,” said Christina Hayden, Supervisor of the Dialysis Unit at Adirondack Health. “Our patients truly become like family to us, and knowing the community stands behind them means so much.”
The evening was made possible through the generosity of volunteers from the Bloomingdale Auxiliary and the lively entertainment of Frankie and the Moonlighters, who donated their time and talents to the cause.
“Grassroots events like this are the heart of philanthropy,” said Jen Balog, Executive Director of the Adirondack Health Foundation. “They show how deeply healthcare is woven into the fabric of our community. This event didn’t just raise funds—it raised awareness and united neighbors in support of a vital service. In rural regions like the Adirondacks, every act of generosity creates a lasting impact.”
