Congratulations to Cadence “Cady” Brady!

Finger Lakes Community Health (FLCH) is proud to be the nonprofit sponsor for Cady Brady, who was recently chosen as the Penn Yan Youth Ambassador!
This special program brings together students and local organizations to celebrate leadership, community involvement, and the spirit of Penn Yan. Many of you know FLCH as Penn Yan Community Health, and we’re honored to support young leaders right here in our community. Cady has been supported throughout this journey by Mary Zelazny, our CEO and a longtime local resident. Mary was genuinely impressed by Cady’s dedication to giving back, who is actively involved in volunteer work and serves as the student representative on the Penn Yan School Board, which is a significant achievement.

Congratulations, Cady! We’re so glad we had the chance to get to know you and cheer you on. Your future is bright! ... See MoreSee Less
