Renee Palmer

Renee Palmer is the definition of a community servant. She continually goes above and beyond to improve the area where she lives and works to bring people together for the greater good.

The Village of Heuvelton where she lives may be small, but thanks in part to Ms. Palmer, it has a big community spirit. Every year, Heuvelton hosts a Labor Day Celebration, complete with a parade, music, fireworks and more. Ms. Palmer is one of the lead organizers of this annual event that so many look forward to each and every year. 

In addition to her involvement with the Heuvelton Labor Day Celebration, Ms. Palmer is also actively involved with numerous groups that work for the betterment of the community, including the Heuvelton Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary. Ms. Palmer also gives of her time and talents to benefit the Heuvelton Central School District.

One of Ms. Palmer’s priorities is to make sure that students are recognized for their achievements. In doing so, she has been instrumental in ensuring high school seniors are acknowledged with special banners that are hung throughout the Village to congratulate them upon their graduations. In addition, Ms. Palmer also puts her camera skills to work by regularly capturing photos of athletes and their coaches for their families during Heuvelton Central School District athletic events.

Her desire to make a difference extends beyond her community involvement, as her career is also dedicated to helping others. Working as an ultrasonographer at Clayton-Hepburn Medical Center’s cardiology department, Ms. Palmer helps protect and improve the health of countless patients every year.

Energetic, unselfish, generous and kind – these are just a few of the words fellow community members use to describe Ms. Palmer. Her devotion to her hometown and desire to foster community spirit have truly made a difference in the lives of people throughout Heuvelton.
