LETTER from RICHARD STERNBERG Neighbors Helping Neighbors Get Shots This past weekend Bassett performed an amazing feat of vaccinating a large group of people, more than 1,100 over two days. The confirmation of vaccine availability only came though on Wednesday, March 3, leaving but two full days to prepare. Nevertheless, I visited on Sunday and it had the appearance of a military operation (which in a sense it was). The Bassett community, from Dr. Tommy Ibrahim on down should be…
EDITORIAL With Seward, Bassett Reclaims Some Of County’s Ebbing Clout Someone was remarking the other day that, over almost four decades, Otsego County had two key players that could be called upon in any crisis.

She and her team at the Otsego County Department of Health rose to the challenge. All of us thank her for her tireless contributions in 2020. Otsego County has been lucky in leadership this year. Here are four other individuals who shone,…
AllOTSEGO.com MINI-EDITORIAL ‘OneBassett’ Is Promising Idea; Let’s Get Behind It This mini-editorial is prompted by our next two editions’ editorials: This coming week, the topic is, of course, Christmas. The following week, Citizen of the Year. That means we would be unable to comment on “OneBassett,” an exciting innovation at the 5,200-employee Bassett Healthcare System, until the New Year. We all depend on Bassett, particularly in Otsego County on the mother ship, Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, and Fox Hospital in…
