Digital equity isn’t just a tech issue — it’s a social, economic, and foundation for modern opportunities.

It ensures that everyone, regardless of income, geography, age, or background, can participate fully in society and benefit from the opportunities of the digital world.

That is why FDRHPO and Adirondack Health Institute, have collaborated to start the North Country Digital Inclusion Coalition (NCIDC) — to strengthen digital inclusion and digital equity across Northern New York.

Each year, FDRHPO staff kick off summer with a day filled with team-building activities, delicious food, and fun. It’s one of our favorite ways to celebrate our incredible team while living out our mission to give back to the communities we serve.

This year’s adventure took us to Zoo New York at Thompson Park! After enjoying a catered lunch together, the FDRHPO team rolled up our sleeves and volunteered at the zoo, helping clean the petting zoo animal enclosures so they would be ready for a fresh coat of paint.

The day was filled with laughter, learning, and plenty of appreciation for the amazing animals that call New York State home. FDRHPO encourages everyone to visit and support this wonderful North Country treasure!

June is Men’s Health Month! This month let's remind the men in our lives that their health deserves attention, support, and real conversation.

Strong connections, preventive care, and mental well‑being all play a major role in long‑term health. Checking in with a provider, talking openly about stress, and leaning on trusted relationships can make a meaningful difference.

Let’s use this month to encourage men to prioritize preventive screenings, strengthen mental health habits, and stay connected to the people who help them thrive.
