The last time that the Town of Crawford New York had an assessment revaluation was 1985. An assessor has not stepped into a home in 33 years. If you are a new home owner or recently bought a home, you are carrying the tax burden.

Problem 4

CommonSenseToday
This website shows a dog lying on a patient in bed. This is wrong because it is a contamination problem. MRSA, C.difficile and other contagious diseases could be passed between pet therapy dogs and patients. This is a major health concern. I suggested only pet the dog, not on the bed, and sanitize the patient's hands.

Privacy is very important. ORMC upper management has a "need to know problem". They do not follow HIPAA. When you are entering the hospital, submit a request restriction of personal information.
This is from ORMC's website:
"Right to Request Restrictions: You have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the medical information we use or disclose about you for treatment, payment or health care operations. You also have the right to request a limit on the medical information we disclose about you to someone who is involved in your care or the payment for your care, like a family member or friend. For example, you could ask that we not use or disclose information about a surgery you had."

ORMC is a private, not-for-profit hospital. Our hospital is no longer a community hospital and not transparent. A community hospital and its medical staff should be able to get to care that is coordinated through the eyes of the patient at a much faster pace than a large hospital company. Denying my request for a copy of their annual report lacks transparences.
