H A N K Y O U V E R Y much for reading the May–June issue of MD Ne ws. Once aga in, we examine the world-class health care available right here in Central New York. Our cover story features Southern Tier HealthLink, or STHL. Since 2007, STHL has been developing and expanding a health information exchange that delivers critical patient information to a physician's fingertip any time, day or night. By focusing on innovation and working with community partners, STHL is contribut- ing to more informed decision-making, better patient outcomes, lower healthcare costs and overall enhanced care coordination for the Southern Tier of New York. STHL is led and staffed by fine professionals who truly care about their community, health care and the region. This issue's interior feature is on the Internist Associates of Central New York (IACNY). IACNY has aligned with Crouse Hospital to integrate patient care in the inpatient, outpatient and community settings. After half a century of serving patients in Central New York, IACNY is still building on its legacy. The National Committee for Quality Assurance designated the practice a PCMH (patient-centered medical home), and IACNY is presently a Level 3 PCMH, the highest such designation.
