For many people living with Parkinson’s disease, boxing therapy is far more than exercise—it’s a proven way to improve mobility, balance, confidence, and quality of life.

I urge Univera Healthcare to reconsider its decision to end coverage for this important therapy and work with patients and providers to find a solution. Investing in programs that help people maintain their health and independence is the right thing to do for our community.

These Parkinson’s patients say boxing therapy is a big help. Now their coverage is ending

Univera Healthcare says it will stop offering coverage for boxing therapy for Parkinson’s, a decision that's upset patients who say they've benefited greatly from the program.

It was a pleasure to celebrate the opening of another Say Yes Buffalo Summer Camp! Since taking office, I’ve been proud to support this program because every child deserves a safe, enriching place to learn, grow, and thrive during the summer months.

Investing in our young people is investing in Buffalo’s future. Wishing all of the campers and staff a fun, safe, and memorable summer!

Today, I stood with my colleagues in the Legislature, block club leaders, and law enforcement to remind residents of the STUNT Law and to drive safely on the roads.

Across communities throughout our county, residents have raised serious concerns about reckless driving, street takeovers, excessive speeding, burnouts, drag racing, and dangerous driving exhibitions occurring on public roads and in parking lots. These activities are not harmless entertainment. They create dangerous situations for drivers, pedestrians, first responders, and innocent families simply trying to get home safely.

We are asking residents to make smart choices this summer, look out for one another, and think about the consequences before engaging in risky behavior behind the wheel.

Today, we honor the memories of the victims of the 2022 Tops Supermarket shooting and stand united against hate. Buffalo’s strength has always been rooted in community, resilience, and love.
