A Victory for Patients with Disabilities: New York Commission on Human Rights Reaches Settlement with Lenox Hill Radiology Regardiing Its Failure To Provide Equal Access to Mammograms

The settlement follows an investigation into allegations of discrimination for failure to accommodate patients with disabilities. As part of the settlement agreement, the NYC Commission on Human Rights is requiring Lenox Hill Radiology to modify the front and interior of its building at 61 East 77th Street in Manhattan to make it accessible to people with disabilities; provide equipment in line with the U.S. Access Board’s accessibility standards to ensure that mammography machines are accessible; change internal scheduling, communications, and equipment purchasing policies citywide; and train staff at all its New York City locations to better accommodate patients with disabilities.

The Speaking Indictment

A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment presented by the Special Counsel’s Office against 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies for committing federal crimes while seeking to interfere in the United States political system, including the 2016 Presidential election.

Aside

Steven Tarquinio was a 6-foot-5 middle blocker who served as a dual wield weapon for the team with his tomahawk spiking of the ball and his towering presence in denying opposing teams’ shots. He accumulated a career high 254 total kills and collected 96 blocks (solo and assisted combined) last season. Ben Crusinberry not only collected his second highest season total in kills with 296, but he also broke his career best with digs, amassing 163 digs last season. But one of their most important players, who was a key figure in molding the team’s fluidity in play with his passing, is former setter Nicolas Sanchez, a tremendous passer accumulating a season high of 1144 assists, but was also skilled defensively, tallying a season high 241 digs last year.
