Golf Tournament Supports Helios Care Work, Services

ONEONTA—On Tuesday, August 13, Kate Sullivan of the Lucky Duck Golf Tournament presented a check to Helios Care in the amount of $2,000.00, gathered from a yearly tournament that Kate and husband Mike put on to enjoy a fun round of golf and give back to the community.

The Lucky Duck Golf Tournament began 18 years ago as a friends tournament, and has evolved into a significant community-wide fundraising event supporting many local charities and nonprofit organizations.

Throughout the years, the money raised from this tournament has been used to help fix roofs on houses, support transportation costs for families in need, and more.

These unrestricted funds donated to Helios Care will be used to directly support services provided to patients and families in our area not covered by reimbursements. Helios Care, formerly known as Catskill Area Hospice and Palliative Care Inc., provides end-of-life, palliative, and bereavement care to patients and families in Otsego, Delaware, and Schoharie counties.

News from the Noteworthy from Helios Care Examining the ‘Good Death,’ End-of-Life Needs What does it mean to have “a good death?” This isn’t a question many of us proactively ask ourselves. In fact, most people don’t really like to talk about endings, let alone dying. As a culture, we are often uncomfortable using the words “dying” or “died,” often substituting phrases like “passed away” or “lost.” So it makes sense that reflecting on what we and our loved ones need during our last days can feel daunting.…
