PENN YAN – The Daisy Marquis Jones Foundation has awarded a grant of $45,000 for the purchase of medical supplies at the new Soldiers and Sailors Health Center, located on the second floor of Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital. The primary care practice, which joins together Keuka Health Care and Pre-Emption Family Medicine, will see patients of all ages and provide local, convenient access to quality care that is comprehensive, patient-centered, coordinated and safe.
The practice offers primary care, routine health maintenance, treatment for acute illnesses and conditions, preventative health services, and management of chronic health conditions. Because of its location in the hospital, patients will have “one stop shop” access for their medical needs including cardiology, rehabilitation, laboratory and diagnostic services.

Q: Why is it important to keep health care clinics viable in small towns and rural communities?
A: In January, I started my annual 99 county meetings across Iowa. For the last four decades, I’ve traveled to every corner of the state to hold open dialogue with my constituents. At my recent meeting in Delaware County in Manchester, I had a Q&A with workers who manufacture state-of-the-art snow plows, salt and sand spreaders and other types of equipment that help keep our roads safe during bad weather. We covered a variety of topics, including the pandemic. The deadly coronavirus underscores why local health care services are a quality of life issue no matter your zip code, from testing, to patient care to vaccine distribution. Having a health care clinic in town also helps employers attract and retain employees, adds economic vitality to the community and gives peace of mind to residents wh

The Big Picture
Until late December, few if any Medicare policy changes were anticipated as part of a year-end healthcare package, barring extensions of funding for programs that otherwise would have expired. But after several days of closed-door negotiations, congressional leaders unveiled and very shortly thereafter Congress passed a legislative package containing an amalgam of Medicare policy changes.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the Act) includes significant payment adjustments, rural health improvements, transparency requirements for certain manufacturers of drugs covered under Medicare Part B, and fixes to long-standing coverage and benefits issues such as eliminating beneficiary cost-sharing for colorectal cancer screenings. None of these changes, taken individually, represent a monumental shift in administration of the Medicare program. But as a whole, they represent an important body of policies that address long-standing concerns.
