Update Infobox

Latest comment: 6 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

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.)^[1] Westwind175 (talk) 09:33, 12 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Edit request declined

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

Latest comment: 5 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works.

The "Branches and services" section in the Lighthouse Guild entry is incomplete and includes outdated information.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. ^[1]

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.^[2] GuildCare ADHC programs in Buffalo and Niagara Falls also provide services to veterans with vision loss. ^[3]

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. ^[4]

Additional references requested

In the case of the integrated healthcare services offered to children and adults with vision loss, please provide references from reliable, secondary sources which are unconnected to the Guild.^[a]
In the case of the Arlene R Gordon Research Institute, as this institute is not independently notable with its own Wikipedia page, please provide references from reliable, secondary sources unconnected to either the Guild or the National Institutes of Health.^[b]

When ready to proceed with the requested sources, kindly open a new edit request at your earliest convenience. Regards, Spintendo 22:26, 14 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Notes

^ In this first request it was stated by the COI editor that outdated information existed in the article. As this request was not approved, the outdated information may still exist in areas of the text. Please advise on my talk page if this information needs to be removed in the interim until the requested references are provided for the replacement text.
^ The NIH is a reliable source, but since it is connected as a healthcare and business partner of the subject organization, an independent source would work best here. See also WP:INHERITORG.
