New York Health Commissioner Dr. Richard Daines is concerned that the lighter-than-expected wave of swine flu that has hit will lull New York residents into a false sense of security that could be swiftly wiped out by another round of flu later this year. New York is still among 11 states that has widespread flu outbreaks - meaning more than half of the state's counties are reporting cases. Another wave of flu could hit this winter or spring, Daines said.

Arnot Health provides diagnostic, ambulatory, secondary and tertiary acute care, as well as rehabilitative and wellness services to the Southern Tier of New York and the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania. Arnot Ogden Medical Center is an independent, not-for-profit, 256-bed tertiary medical facility with more than 300 physicians from over 50 specialties.
