WHAT IS BLOOMING HEALTH? 

It is a service being used by the Office for the Aging to communicate with our constituents quickly regarding upcoming programs and services, program reminders, surveys and emergency announcements.

For example: You may receive a message reminding you that you signed up for a Medicare 101 class on Friday or you may get a message saying the meal program is closed due to bad weather.

You will receive a Welcome Call from Blooming Health.  

If you prefer, you can choose to get an email or text message instead of phone calls. The caller ID that will appear when Blooming Health calls is "Ontario CTY OFA" and the number that will be calling is 585-476-1860.

You can opt out by calling 888-660-2449.
