Thompson Doctors, Nurses Urge Patients to Keep Up to Date with Care
As the pandemic continues, doctors and nurses throughout UR Medicine Thompson Health are urging community members to stay on top of chronic conditions and keep up with regular medical appointments and screenings.
“This is the time to be as proactive as we can,” said Dr. Jeffrey A. Goldstein, who worries that COVID-19 fears are preventing some people from getting the care they need.
He and others spoke about why it’s important to keep up with appointments – and why it’s safe to enter local medical facilities – in the most recent issue of Thompson’s Partners magazine: https://www.thompsonhealth.com/Education/Partners-Magazine/this-is-the-time-to-be-as-proactive-as-we-can

Winemaker of the Year Nominee
 Fred Merwarth
The apprentice to Finger Lakes legend Hermann J. Wiemer, Merwarth became head winemaker, vineyard manager and co-owner (with Oskar Bynke) of Wiemer’s namesake winery in 2007. Since then, Merwarth has carried on Wiemer’s legacy, as he expanded upon the founder’s detail-oriented approach to viticulture and winemaking. Merwarth has worked extensively on understanding the relationship between the vines and soils of the Finger Lakes. He’s brought the New York State winery to new heights with a range of Rieslings, cool-climate reds, sparkling wines and rosés. They are benchmark standards for the state, and in the case of Riesling, for the country.
