WXXI On-line ........................ www.wxxi.org hosted a fun-filled “Be My Neighbor Day” celebration at the Central Library. More than 3,000 kids and their parents joined us for learning activities, opportunities to do kind acts for others, and meet Daniel Tiger himself. I shared the stage with Daniel that morning and the sea of happy children we saw from the podium was incredible! The Vietnam War series and Outreach: The Vietnam War, which was referred to as Ken Burns’ most ambitious film, premiered in September. The sweeping 18-hour documentary was an emotional and compelling journey that received a great deal of acclaim. In addition to the broadcast, WXXI partnered with MuCCC Theater, The Central Library, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 20, and the local Vietnamese Community to host outreach events to engage our community in conversations about what happened during the Vietnam War era. Opioids and Heroin Epidemic Coverage: To shed light on what law enforcement and health care providers are calling an “epidemic,” WXXI-TV and our national healthcare series Second Opinion devoted an evening of special programming on the issue of opioids and heroin abuse in October. The night featured Overdose: Inside the Epidemic, where a local couple shared the story of their son who struggled with opioid use and addiction, and eventually died from a heroin overdose. WXXI News, including Need to Know and Connections with Evan Dawson, will continue to address the issue with ongoing coverage. These are only a few examples of the programming and services that had an impact on our community – and, as a member, I hope you share our pride in the work we have done in 2017.

Norm [email protected] @normWXXI Q&A WITH A WXXI UNDERWRITER For over 100 years, Fairport Baptist Homes (FBH) has been providing compassionate care to seniors and their families. FBH offers senior housing, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitative care, and in-home services, and encourages seniors to be as independent as possible. Opening in spring 2018, FBH’s new senior living community, The Woodlands at Stonebrook, will offer apartments with optional amenities, which will allow residents to choose their own service packages. WXXI connects with Tom Poelma, CEO, to learn more about FBH. Q. How does community support affect FBH? We rely heavily on community support. Our Senior Options for Independence (SOFI) program runs in partnership with the Town of Perinton. From a financial standpoint, we rely on donations to our foundation to make up the difference between what insurance covers and the actual high costs of care at FBH. Q. What are some of the greatest challenges facing families in your world? Choosing care providers and/or transitioning to a new home or level of care can be one of the EVENTS toughest and most important decisions older adults and their families make. Q. How does FBH help families overcome these challenges? Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care in all we do. Our SOFI program and our senior & housing options help independent seniors maintain their independence. We’re pioneers in bringing the household model to long-term care by being person-centered and focusing on care, community and choice. Our communities are full of life: caring, vibrant, vital. Q. What are the top three activities residents enjoy the most? Weekly harp music with Diane, playing games, including trivia, bingo, word games, and Yahtzee, and religious activities in our chapel. Q. How does FBH help preserve independence? We strive for our residents to have the most active and healthy lifestyles they can by providing every opportunity to be as independent as possible. Our staff helps residents to embrace choices, feel empowered and live a happy, healthy life. fairportbaptisthomes.org @fairportbaptisthomes Fairport Baptist Homes NEWS TOM POELMA CEO, FAIRPORT BAPTIST HOMES To learn more about underwriting on WXXI, email [email protected] A YEAR-END GIFT TO WXXI IS A GIFT TO OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY!
