Thompson’s Geneva Practice Achieves PCMH Status

UR Medicine Thompson Hospital’s Geneva Crossing Family Practice recently received Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance. In a PCMH, a primary care provider leads a team that partners closely with a patient throughout life. Nurses, nutritionists, pharmacists, specialists and other professionals are involved when appropriate.

Located at 765 Geneva Crossing Way, Geneva Crossing Family Practice opened in early 2021 and is headed by Dr. Laurel Dallmeyer.

Now all of Thompson’s practices are PCMH-accredited.

Dallmeyer is currently accepting new patients. For information about her practice, visit

Keuka Lake Vineyards Is Pushing Their Luck

How chasing serendipity is driving the brand forward

Written by Maiah Johnson Dunn for newyorkwines.org Mel Goldman believes in luck. Since college he’d always wanted to grow grapes and over the years he and his wife, Dorothee, would travel and explore their options. At one point, they almost moved to Oregon (where Dorothee’s family is from) but found it cost prohibitive. It was on a family camping trip to Ithaca that Mel and Dorothee stumbled upon the Finger Lakes. Unplanned tours of Cornell University and Ithaca College with the kids made them pause: “we looked around and said ‘Wow, grapes!’ And, it was affordable.”

The Goldmans began looking for land in the Finger Lakes, finding their perfect property within a year. On that same day, a spring nor’easter caused road closures and grounded flights along the length of the East Coast, stranding them in Hammondsport at the Park Inn; it was later named the “1993 Storm of the Century”. Mel and Dorothee were struck by the kindness of the hotel manager who kept them warm and fed at no cost. They took it as a warm welcome to the neighborhood.

Nearly 30 years later, Keuka Lake Vineyards is home to 35 acres on the south east and west slopes of the lake. The vineyards are maintained sustainably, without herbicides, with minimal intervention, and harvested entirely by hand. Though the land might have been deemed too rocky or steep by others, Mel saw it as an opportunity.

Benefits of Coffee

Many people look forward to that first cup of coffee in the morning to get a nice jolt to start their day right. In addition to tasting pretty darn good and giving you a boost of energy, there have been research studies that show there are actually health benefits to coffee. Read more.

Dog Bathing Tips

Regular bathing of your pooch will ensure hygiene but can also improve his or her health. Canines secrete a waxy substance that will adhere to the coat and skin, which produces an unpleasant odor. Compound this with rolling around in the dirt and grass and bacteria can be produced, which is not a good thing. In addition, bathing prevents external parasites and skin diseases as well as promotes good blood circulation and metabolism. Without regular washing, your dog can become ill, not to mention bringing these odors and parasites into your home..

Cookie Cereal or Mini Croissant Cereal

Currently one of the hottest trends on the internet is making a breakfast item like pancakes or waffles but super mini sizing them so that you eat them like cereal. Yep, that's right. Imagine pancakes as small as a dime or nickel and topped with syrup and then spooning them into your mouth. Read More.
