Nominations Sought for Compassionate Care Award

ONEONTA—As of Monday, September 2, nominations for the 2024 Dr. Yoshiro Matsuo Compassionate Care Award from Helios Care are beginning to come in, officials said, with a diverse range of nominees, from medical professionals to volunteers at local food pantries.

Anyone can make a nomination for someone who lives or works in Otsego, Delaware or Schoharie counties who exhibits the qualities of the Compassionate Care Award namesake, Dr. Yashiro Matsuo: leadership, compassion, selfless service and dedication to serving the greater community.

“The goal is to recognize those who contribute tirelessly to their communities, usually without acknowledgment,” said Kathryn Dailey, director of development and marketing at Helios Care. “These individuals go above and beyond in their various involvements and they deserve to be celebrated.”
