Cattaraugus County Campus

OLEAN, N.Y. — Remote Area Medical returns to Olean for the third time on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13 and 14. For the second time, the clinic will be held at the YMCA on Wayne Street. 

The Y also hosted the last Olean RAM event in September 2023. The first clinic to come to the city was in 2021 at the downtown SUNY Jamestown Community College Cattaraugus County Campus. 

A move to the YMCA two years ago provided more space to serve more people. 

OLEAN, N.Y. — The JCC YMCA Early Learning Center celebrated one year of serving children and families at the SUNY Jamestown Cattaraugus County Campus during an event on Tuesday night. 

Families of children who attend the daycare center participated in activities on the downtown Olean campus lawn ranging from a bouncy obstacle course, face painting, a petting zoo, arts and crafts, and more. Snacks were provided by the YMCA of the Twin Tiers and cookie treats by the Hatch Cafe that operates on campus. 

Finding a viable central location has always been front of mind for those planning Remote Area Medical clinics that have come to Cattaraugus County in recent years. 

The first was held at St. Bonaventure University in 2017, and although successful, moving  the clinic to downtown Olean made it more convenient for city residents without reliable means of transportation. 

SUNY Jamestown Community College is hosting a series of new student orientation events at its Cattaraugus County and Jamestown campuses before the fall semester begins on Monday, Aug. 25. All new students are required to attend one of the sessions.
