POTSDAM — The SeaComm Federal Credit Union Café at Rochester Regional Health’s Canton-Potsdam Hospital is now open for business.

The brand-new dining and relaxation space is located within the hospital’s main campus. A grand opening ceremony was held on Tuesday, Oct. 28 to mark the official opening, attended by representatives from SeaComm, the hospital, and community members.

This new café represents a unique partnership between SeaComm and Canton-Potsdam Hospital, designed to enhance the experience of patients, visitors, and team members by providing a welcoming, comfortable space with convenient access to fresh food, beverages, and a peaceful atmosphere.

Earlier in the St. Lawrence Health Foundation’s Great Care, Right Here fundraising campaign, SeaComm Federal Credit Union announced a generous $100,000 donation that supported the construction of the hospital’s Regional Care Pavilion, which includes the Café.  SeaComm’s investment is part of its broader mission to give back to the North Country through strategic community partnerships and ongoing philanthropic support. “Our partnership is just to attest to what you all do on a daily basis at this health care facility for the community and SeaComm is very pleased to be a partner in that and will continue to be a partner,” Scott Wilson, SeaComm President & CEO.

The SeaComm Café offers a variety of refreshments, including locally sourced snacks, treats, coffee, grab-and-go meals, and healthy options tailored to hospital visitors and team members; made available, in part, through the partnership of local vendors including The Blue House, Canton Apples, One Steep at a Time,  St. Lawrence Valley Roasters, and Sugar Valley Bakery. The space features modern, comfortable seating and free Wi-Fi to encourage rest and recharge during busy days.

“We are incredibly grateful to SeaComm for their generosity and shared vision. The Café is already becoming a cherished part of our hospital, offering a calming space that supports the wellbeing of our caregivers and guests,” said Donna McGregor, President of St. Lawrence Region.

The Café is open Sunday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is located adjacent to the hospital’s main lobby and is open to the public and hospital personnel.
