Mayor Art Daughtry says "Thanks!" to Bonefish Restaurant

On behalf of the Montville Kiwanis Club and our Township Employees I would like to publicly thank Creed Palmer and his staff for being so generous and hosting events in support of Montville Township prior to the public opening.

I would also like to encourage residents to stop by and enjoy the varied fresh fish entrees and for those land lovers the two steak entrees are great as well.

We all wish Creed and his staff much success.

Best Wishes,

Art Daughtry

Dr. Pallay Explains Electronic Medical Records

Q. My doctor says his office is introducing electronic medical records, a system he says can improve care, reduce costs and even save lives. How does this system work and how can I be sure it is safe and secure?

A. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is a computerized system of documenting, recording and tracking patient visits and medical records electronically. It contains the same information that goes into a medical chart -- and is treated with the same respect and confidentiality as the paper chart.  See Daily Record.

Arnold I. Pallay, M.D., medical director of Changebridge Medical Associates, is a board-certified family physician, a fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians and a member of the Medical Staff at Saint Clare's Hospital.
