This document includes information from a variety of data sources including community surveys, roundtable discussions, updates on the work of the three Performing Provider Systems (PPSs) which intersect in Delaware County, data from the New York State Department of Health’s Prevention Agenda dashboard, information from the County Health Rankings, and other local datasets. The participating organizations, Delaware County Public Health (DCPH) and the three hospitals within the county: Delaware Valley Hospital (DVH), an affiliate of United Health Services (UHS) system; Margaretville Memorial Hospital (MMH), which is a part of the Health Alliance of the Hudson Valley and a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network; and O’Connor Hospital (OCH), of the Bassett Healthcare Network, selected the Prevention Agenda priority areas of Prevent Chronic Diseases and Promote Well-Being and Prevent Mental and Substance Use Disorders. Based on the available demographic and health indicator data, the disparate population to be addressed throughout these plans is low income residents living in rural areas of Delaware County. These priority areas represent a continuation of the 2013-2017 full Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), and the 2016-2018 updated assessment and plan. However, changes have been made to the specific activities selected. Notably, the four entities working to support the CHIP and the three Community Service Plans (CSPs) modified each of their plans to work collectively to impact specific issues, work within each organization’s resources, and by utilizing 4 | P a g e evidence-based practices. Additional partnering entities have been and will continue to be engaged through community coalitions, work groups, and task forces. Prevent Chronic Disease: DCPH will promote physical activity by mapping the walking and biking trails in Delaware County in order to make the numerous trails more accessible and identifiable to everyone. Continuation of Complete Streets policies and design elements remains prominent in the plans for OCH, with modifications to include age friendly community design elements. Initial work completed during the last two CHIP and CSP timeframes laid the groundwork for objectives outlined in the 2019- 2021 time period. All three hospitals seek to expand access to self-management tools for those with chronic disease, and will work in coordination with the PPSs active in the county to provide support for Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) activities for the region’s residents. Additionally, OCH, DVH, and DCPH will promote preventive care and management through increasing cancer screening rates, the former for breast and respiratory cancers, and the latter two for colorectal cancer. Both MMH and OCH have identified a need for tobacco use cessation initiatives through messaging and communications, and to promote healthy eating and food insecurity. MMH and OCH will promote food security among inpatients through evidence-based screening tools and facilitating referrals. Additionally, OCH will seek to increase employee access to fresh fruit and vegetables and increase employee physical activity through evidence-based worksite wellness programs. Promote Well-Being and Prevent Mental and Substance Use Disorders: Delaware Valley Hospital will work to build resilience across the lifespan by convening a coalition of stakeholders to begin to incorporate the eight domains of livability and age friendly principles. Delaware 5 | P a g e County is the fourth largest of 62 counties in New York State, and the fifth most rural. Coupled with the aging trend throughout Delaware County, accessing necessary services and remaining in one’s community poses a challenge to a significant proportion of the population. These difficulties are augmented by other social determinants of health, such as the absence of a public transit system and the fact that most older adults eventually age out of driving. In order to increase support for older adults in Delaware County to age in place and remain involved in their community, DVH will disseminate information on the eight domains of livability through a workshop series to be held in Walton, follow up with participants, and establish committees to work towards each domain through community initiatives. Age friendly principles will also be integrated into existing initiatives, such as Complete Streets, which is support by OCH under the priority area Prevent Chronic Disease, and the Transportation Committee. DCPH will support the age friendly initiative by attending the age friendly workshops conducted by DVH with the goal of increasing the proportion of adults who report an inclusive social environment. A focal point across the CHIP and CSPs are suicide prevention and substance use prevention. O’Connor will continue to address substance use disorder by strengthening interventions and support systems for opioid users, increasing referrals to treatment, and increasing the availability of and access to Naloxone. This also includes participating in the Delaware County Opioid Task Force and Catskills Addiction Coalition, and sharing data with Delaware County Public Health. MMH will similarly reduce opioid overdose by building and participating in collaborative community support systems to care for opioid users and those at risk of overdosing. MMH will also prevent and address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) through engaging the community with free trainings for staff and community partners. DCPH, MMH, and OCH seek to reduce suicide mortality by identifying and supporting people at risk, including treatment for those who have previously attempted suicide and offering annual gatekeeper trainings such as question, persuade, refer (QPR). Additionally, DCPH will introduce a means reduction 6 | P a g e initiative in the community with the measurable goals of forming a workgroup, forming partnerships with gun owner groups, and offer a means reduction awareness conference in the community. Environmental Changes Over the last decade, New York State has created a healthcare alignment model with the goal of improving population health, transforming healthcare delivery and eliminating health disparities centered on the “Triple Aim” for all New Yorkers: improved health, better healthcare quality and consumer experience, and lower costs. This includes the State Health Innovation Plan

  • Key Findings: Existing Conditions Report – January 2017
    NY 443/Delaware Avenue from Elsmere Avenue to the Normanskill Bridge Summary of Key Findings: Existing Conditions Report – January 2017 NY 443/Delaware Avenue in the Town of Bethlehem is owned and maintained by New York State. In general, it is a four-lane roadway 48 feet wide, with two 11-foot wide travel lanes in each direction, one-foot wide shoulders, and two-foot wide striping in the center. The roadway widens in the central part of the study area near Delaware Plaza and provides a 5-lane cross section (60 feet wide), and transitions on both ends to provide a two-lane cross section entering the Delmar hamlet on the west, and the City of Albany to the east. The roadway right-of-way is typically 66 feet wide; 90 feet wide near the Delaware Plaza, and variable width approaching the Normanskill bridge. As an urban minor arterial in a Commercial Hamlet District, Delaware Avenue serves several different functions. The roadway provides access to adjacent residential neighborhood streets and residences, businesses and a school, as well as serving as a multi-modal commuting route between the Town of Bethlehem and the City of Albany and activities elsewhere in the region. Delaware Avenue from Elsmere Avenue to Delaware Plaza carries about 18,300 vehicles on an average weekday. Daily traffic volumes between Delaware Plaza and the Normanskill Bridge are lower at approximately 15,600 vehicles. The amount of motor vehicle traffic along Delaware Avenue has remained relatively the same over the last 30 years. CDTA’s bus route 18 travels the study area providing service between Slingerlands and downtown Albany with most frequent service provided during the evening commute.

  • Springing the Delaware Tax Trap Under North Carolina Law to Obtain an Income Tax Basis Step-Up By
    Springing the Delaware Tax Trap Under North Carolina Law to Obtain an Income Tax Basis Step-Up By: Graham D. Holding, Jr. and Paul M. Hattenhauer The significant increase in the federal estate tax exclusion amount, $11,400,000 for 2019, has caused estate planners to look at techniques to have assets in an irrevocable trust included in the taxable estate of the beneficiary in order to provide a basis step-up for appreciated assets under I.R.C. Section 1014. Inclusion of the assets in the beneficiary’s gross estate may be desirable to obtain the income tax savings of the basis step-up when, for example, a spouse-beneficiary holds a nongeneral power of appointment over a traditional bypass trust, or a beneficiary has a nongeneral power of appointment over a trust exempt from the federal generation-skipping transfer tax, and the spouse or beneficiary has sufficient remaining federal estate tax exemption left to prevent a portion or all of the assets of the trust from being subject to estate tax. There are four ways to cause trust assets to be included in the beneficiary’s taxable estate: (i) the Delaware Tax Trap, (ii) the use of an independent trustee’s power of distribution, (iii) a contingent general power of appointment, and (iv) a trust protector or independent trustee’s power to create a general power of appointment.

Zaritsky, “Basis After the 2017 Tax Act – Important Before, Crucial Now,” 1-84 (Fundamental Program Focus Series, Univ. of Miami Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning) (2019)).
