Talk:Lighthouse Guild

Update Infobox
The infobox has the incorrect name for the President and CEO. The current President and CEO is Alan R. Morse, JD, PhD. (James M. Dubin is Chairman of the Board.) Westwind175 (talk) 09:33, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Post-nominal letters for academic degrees following the subject's name may occasionally be used within an article where the person with the degree is not the subject, to clarify that person's qualifications with regard to some part of the article, though this is usually better explained in descriptive wording, per MOS:CREDENTIAL.

Update "Branches and services" section
The "Branches and services" section in the Lighthouse Guild entry is incomplete and includes outdated information. The Tennis Serves/Lighthouse Guild program described in that section ended in 2017. Also, the “Branches and services” section does not include any specific information on services provided to children and adults living with vision loss.

Therefore, I propose replacing "Branches and services" with a "Services" section that includes two paragraphs summarizing current available services.

Services

Lighthouse Guild provides integrated healthcare services to children and adults with vision loss — including medical, behavioral health treatment, support, and vocational rehabilitation services. The organization also offers youth and teen social and recreational activities as well as guidance, counseling, and vocational services for students aged 14 to 22.

Its GuildCare Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) program – available in New York City, Albany, Buffalo, and Niagara Falls – delivers nursing care, therapeutic and rehabilitation services, and meals during the day in community-based facilities to adults aged 18 and older with vision loss who have been diagnosed with chronic medical conditions. GuildCare ADHC programs in Buffalo and Niagara Falls also provide services to veterans with vision loss.

 * Add "Research" Section

I propose creating a "Research" section for the Arlene R. Gordon Research Institute, which is currently in the "Branches and services" section.

Research

Lighthouse Guild is home to the Arlene R. Gordon Research Institute, where multidisciplinary investigators conduct research to reduce the burden of living with vision loss.
