CCSI Wellness - Spring into Health Events 

The first day of spring was Tuesday, March 19, 2024, which makes April the perfect time to “spring” into a wellbeing mindset! To help you kickstart your wellbeing, our Wellness Committee has partnered with committed CCSI partners to bring biometric screenings, mammograms, blood donation (sign-up for CCSI Blood Drive event in June/July 2024), EZaccessMD – Telemedicine Service, giveaways, and more to our Rochester and Syracuse locations! 

Join Us for Upcoming Mindfulness Offerings!

We encourage you to join us with an open mind and curiosity for upcoming virtual and in-person mindfulness offerings led by and offered for CCSI staff in April and May!

PASS is a mentoring program for Monroe County adolescents who learn life skills such as anger management, self-esteem building, job interviewing, decision making, goal setting, personal social skills, self-motivating skills, and much more. The program provides an environment to practice these skills and create new paths toward achieving lifelong goals. Check out some photos from their graduation where family and friends gathered to celebrate their accomplishments.

On behalf of CCSI Leadership, Rodney Corry, Senior Director, Administrative Services recently sent out an email to all CCSI staff regarding the upcoming solar eclipse. As you are likely aware, the eclipse will occur on the afternoon of Monday, April 8. A large number of people are expected to flood into the region to view this event.

At CCSI, we prioritize creating an inclusive culture of belonging and validation to support your development as an integral member of the CCSI family. As part of your continued onboarding experience, you'll officially meet with members of our Executive Leadership Team. Be on the lookout for a meeting invite!

After receiving this invite, when you click "Accept," please select “Send the Response Now” so we have an accurate headcount. This event is mandatory as part of your required onboarding training. If you have a schedule conflict or any questions, please reach out to Kristin Romell at [email protected] to discuss. Please come prepared with ANY questions you may have about CCSI or the programs/departments represented by the Executive Leadership team.

We are all incredibly excited to connect with you, support your development, and welcome you to the CCSI family. 

Volunteers Needed!

Volunteers are needed to support the upcoming community poverty simulation. CCSI’s Poverty Simulation is an immersive experience that aims to raise awareness of, and empathy for, families living in poverty. By assuming the role of family members facing economic, health, and social challenges, participants learn to identify with the needs of community members and consider options for addressing poverty effectively. 

Last week's brain teaser:



Q: What 3 numbers give the same result when they are either multiplied or added together?



A: 1, 2, and 3 (1 + 2 + 3 = 6 and 1 x 2 x 3 = 6).
