Supporting individuals as they strive to achieve a hopeful, satisfying, active, and contributing life.

Day Habilitation students send love to local seniors

Our Day Habilitation students made beautiful and heartfelt Valentine's Day cards for Senator Hinchey to deliver to local nursing homes to bring joy and warmth during this very cold month. As the manager of the programs stated, "They really put their 'hearts' into this project!  I know the people that receive the cards will love them!" 

 

Black History Month

A Workforce One Employment program intern in our PROS (Personalized Recovery Oriented Services) program wanted a better understanding of Black History Month so they decided to make a display board in the hallway for all to view, to spark discussion and explore black heritage. Thank you so much for this contribution!   

 

PROS Open House - monthly 

NEW!!! Join us on the second Monday of each month for a PROS (Personalized Recovery Oriented Services) OPEN House from 2-3:30pm. Open to the public for tours and questions with staff and participants and help with referrals. It's always nice to see where you'll be meeting with people and who you'll be meeting with. Check out the spaces and the people who make it special. We hope to see you soon! For questions, contact PROS Director Melissa Utter at 845-331-1261 x289 or [email protected]

Employees Recognizing Employees

The Kudos Card Program was launched in April 2024 by Gateway's Human Resources department.

Employees are encouraged to present a Kudos Card to any other employee to show their appreciation for things like pitching in or being a great team player.  The Kudos Card can be presented to one’s manager, employee, or colleague.  Each quarter, HR draws from the submitted Kudos Cards to give the winner a $50 gift card! 

Kudos Card Recipients are recognized on the employee web portal for a quick reference, but we wanted to publicly recognize those employees here for the beginning of the first quarter of 2026 - Stephanie Ferraro (Compliance), Dawn Miller (Reception), Kat Navarra (Reception & Sr. Nutrition Program), Melissa Tefft (Residential), and Aubrey Vierstra (Residential). Thank you for your exceptional work!
