When do the risks of a treatment outweigh its benefits? That's a tough question for a patient, caregiver, or family member - but one that fewer of our patients need to answer thanks to a massive effort to bring remote continuous EEG monitoring to Bassett Medical Center’s intensive care unit. Read about this boon to rural healthcare, with benefits that extend beyond the patients themselves: https://lnkd.in/eU7-h7Vn

We’re delighted to share that Bassett’s own Leonard Lindenmuth, DHA, MBA, FAHM, CHFP, Vice President of Strategy and Population Health, has been named among the top 50 value-based thinkers of 2024 by Pearl Health. Pearl’s annual Top 50 Value-Based Thinkers report, currently in its third year, recognizes healthcare providers, policymakers, academics, and thinkers across the nation who are contributing significantly to a transition to value-based care. “Value-Based Care (VBC) is the right approach for managing all of the complex variables tied to the healthcare delivery system and population health,” Mr. Lindenmuth says. “From an economist view, VBC helps distribute limited resources in the most cost-effective manner.” Read more about Mr. Lindenmuth’s contributions and those of other experts who are recognized for their vital work towards greater health equity in our rural communities and beyond: https://lnkd.in/e_TNV-3G

Bassett is committed to serving its communities - but often, we are also served by our community. The Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida Counties, Inc. and the Wesley and Marion Small Fund recently gave Valley Health Services in Herkimer a $15,000 grant to purchase new rehabilitation equipment. Thanks to the Community Foundation’s generosity, Valley Health patients are regaining independence after debilitating strokes, neurological conditions, injuries, and illness.

On Sunday, June 2, eighty-three cancer survivors gathered at the Farmers’ Museum in Cooperstown with their guests, caregivers, and volunteers to celebrate their victories over cancer. Bassett’s 2024 Cancer Survivors’ Day Luncheon was a success by many measures, but by far the most important one is that it left the survivors in attendance feeling honored and valued. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, including: Presenting/Lead Sponsors – Fennimore Asset Management and Visions Federal Credit Union; Participating Sponsors – Lamont Engineers and Onco360; the Farmers’ Museum for hosting; Brooks’ Barbeque for catering; and the countless Bassett caregivers and volunteers who planned and executed the event.
