Evergreen Health

Marlyn Moore, our director of security, was chosen by his colleagues as the winner of the 2025 Evergreen Spirit Award because he embodies our core values and truly makes a difference for our patients and staff. Read about it on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gQM94N9p

Earlier today, Ray Ganoe, our president and CEO, and Dr. Gbadamosi, our chief medical officer, attended Congress Member Tim Kennedy’s press conference alongside dozens of local healthcare organizations and elected officials at John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital to urge Congress to keep Medicaid funding in place for the most vulnerable populations. "The US House of Representatives budget resolution to cut Medicaid funding by $880 billion would result in devastating consequences for millions of people, including thousands of Evergreen Health patients," said Ray Ganoe, president and CEO of Evergreen Health. "Evergreen Health does not turn patients away from unconditional care based on their inability to pay and the potential cut to funding endangers the health and wellness of Western New York and communities across the nation. We urge Congress to protect Medicaid to ensure funding for the most vulnerable populations."

Congratulations to Evergreen’s own Chief Medical Officer, Fatai Gbadamosi, M.D., for being recognized as one of the honorees of the Buffalo Business First IDEA Awards. The unconditional care Dr. Gbadamosi provides to our patients makes a difference every day.

Evergreen's winter children's book drive was a success - we collected over 400 books that our pediatric patients and families are already enjoying in our waiting and exam rooms.
