NORWICH — Family Planning of South Central New York welcomes the new and returning members of its Board of Directors for 2018.

Each of the newly elected directors will serve a three-year term. They are, as follows: Patricia Dietrich (Chenango); Kendall Drexler, LMSW (Chenango); Barbara Decker (Broome); Ellen Feldman (Broome); Edgar Parsons (Broome); Kellie Bean, Ph.D. (Otsego); Christine Rackley, Psy.D. (Delaware);

These new directors join the board’s 16 other current members, as well as Family Planning’s five honorary directors. The board officers for the 2018-2019 term were also elected: Co-Chair: Sondra Pruden, R.N.; Co-Chair: Jane Hamilton, R.N.; 1st Vice Chair: Gretchen Hodgdon, M.D.; 2nd Vice Chair: Erica Lawson, Esq.; Treasurer: Tim Parsons; Secretary: Rebecca Leidy, R.N.

“Although these are troubling, uncertain times for our nation’s health and wellness safety net — especially reproductive care — Family Planning’s five local medical centers are fully staffed, fully equipped and ready for the year ahead,” Co-Chair Sondra Pruden said.

“And, our new board is committed to ensuring we successfully fulfill the agency’s vital mission of providing affordable, high-quality health care to the women, men and teens we serve every day here in south central New York,” Pruden said.

All of Family Planning's local health centers -- Norwich, Binghamton, Oneonta, Sidney and Walton -- provide healthcare services on a sliding fee scale. Insurance and Medicaid are welcome. And, all medical services are overseen by Board Certified Gynecologist Diane Georgeson, M.D.

Pruden said it is times such as these that the agency’s leadership and staff are reminded that the work they do each day is “more important than ever.”

“And, rest assured, Family Planning will work hard to ensure we continue to meet the needs of our patients and clients this year, just as we have done for more than 75 years,” she said.
