What Goes Around Comes Around! We all know there's a slew of risk factors that increase the likelihood of heart disease: Smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise and chronic stress are the obvious culprits. But did you know cancer therapies, particularly for blood cancers, can have long-term cardiovascular effects? So what can we do about it?

Harbor House will be Lighting the Night for Blood Cancer Awareness Month on Saturday September 19 in a special collaboration with the Buffalo office of Blood Cancer United and Rochester's St. John's Living.

A positive outlook along with patience and calmness are often the keys to recovery and resilience. Our guest Lorie and her partner patient Lorraine certainly bring those keys to the journey. It was a bumpy road but Lorraine now has her LVAD and is hopeful to get on the transplant list for a new heart in the near future!

A Light Forever Shining on Harbor House. This week Thursday July 9 marks the passing of beloved House Manager Mary Katherine Crowley. A native of Canandaigua, Mary was a beacon for guests at Harbor House and gave them strength and comfort during their darkest moments. Mary found solace in reading a good book as well as taking care of her beautiful garden. She also expressed her creativity through cooking and playing the violin. Above all, Mary had a zest for life and for instilling her own resilience in the lives of others. Please join Harbor House this month as we honor and cherish her memory.

Kudos and and a colossal Thank You to our 'Day of Caring' crew from Constellation Brands: Joel, Kathy, Mitch, Alicia, Sydney and Michael! They knocked it out of the park by completing much needed weeding, mulching, trimming, washing windows, painting and more--it was a great day for getting things done at Harbor House and we couldn't have done it without them!!
