Scott is the kind of guy who doesn’t let anything slow him down. He was born with cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair for mobility, but this never stopped Scott from doing what he wanted to do.

His positive attitude, humor, and infectious smile allow Scott to make friends with anyone he meets. Over the past year, Scott has developed some health issues that have caused him to be in and out of the hospital and less mobile.

Helping one person might not change the world,
but it could change the world for one person!

The Nascentia Health Charitable Foundation’s mission is to increase community awareness of our most vulnerable populations, to raise funds to address their unmet needs and to better serve their well-being across the regions that we serve. It also supports the education and development of in-home care providers, to enhance the availability of highly qualified caregivers that attend to our most vulnerable, well into the future.

The funds raised through this event not only support vulnerable members of our community, but also enable us to continue training our clinical staff to deliver the highest quality of care.

Our 12th Annual Raise a Glass event was held on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at the Timber Banks Golf Club in Baldwinsville. To learn more about the event, visit our Raise a Glass page.
