Thompson Hospital recently earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Advanced Certification in Perinatal Care.According to The Joint Commission – which is the country’s top healthcare accrediting body – Thompson demonstrated during the announced visit that it has continuous compliance with performance standards, and the Gold Seal reflects commitment to providing safe, quality care to mothers and babies at the hospital, an affiliate of UR Medicine. Thompson is among the first two hospitals in the state to acquire this advanced certification, and tied for fifth in the nation.“The surveyor was thoroughly impressed with the collaborative effort she noted in our institution,” Dr. Jillian Babu of the OB/GYN practice at Thompson’s Canandaigua Medical Group (CMG) said. “She was able to see that the OB department was not isolated from the rest of the hospital – but rather it was 100% supported by all departments.”Executive Vice President/COO Kurt Koczent noted the surveyor “was incredibly complimentary to all of our nursing staff, physicians, and midwives.”“She was very impressed with our bereavement process, our lactation program, and our willingness to use evidence-based practices,” he said, congratulating the Birthing Center, the providers from CMG, and Quality/Safety.Koczent added, “This survey is a great validation of what we do every day.”

Passive Aggressive Behavior
We all have behavior patterns. Some are positive and others aren’t. Passive-aggressive tendencies are a way to cope with situations we don’t want to deal with but in a more subtle manner. This is not defined as a mental health illness. However, it can disrupt relationships or cause issues in the workplace. A good example is agreeing with someone else’s request but not doing it or just dragging one’s feet so that it becomes delayed. When confronted with the unaccomplished task, the individual will become defensive. Read More.

Window Blinds
There are a number of different window treatments to choose from like shades, blinds, curtains, and draperies. Each is perfect in its own way for the style of your home and can be used in various ways in different rooms. Read more.

Fresh Green Beans
Here we are just in time for fresh green beans right off the vine. Whether you are harvesting from your own garden or picking some up from the local farmer’s market, enjoying fresh produce is one of the joys of summer. When shopping look for a bright color and crisp pods. Read More.
