Complete Senior Care PACE participants pay it forward to Roswell patients

Sometimes in life, it's the little things that matter most.

Participants in Niagara's Complete Senior Care (CSC) Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) take that sentiment to heart.

While many participants are facing their own health challenges, almost every month CSC friends get together and choose a community program to lend their support to. This month, three fabulous ladies from CSC selected Roswell Park Cancer Institute's Niagara County office in Wheatfield to donate handmade hats for cancer patients. The ladies came up with the idea after thinking of family members and friends who fought cancer and wanted to provide a nice alternative to wearing a wig during treatment.
