A Yankwitt LLP employment litigation team led by partner <a href="https://www.yankwitt.com/attorneys/michael-h-reed/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Michael Reed</a> achieved a significant victory in Westchester County Supreme Court <a href="https://www.yankwitt.com/practices/employment-litigation/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">employment litigation</a> on behalf of our property management company client.
The plaintiff, a long-term employee, asserted eight causes of action arising from alleged workplace scent sensitivities. She claimed that exposure to perfumes and other fragrances in the office triggered physical reactions requiring medical attention and alleged that the company failed to provide a reasonable accommodation. The complaint included a primary claim for disability discrimination, along with causes of action for emotional distress and wage-related violations tied to an alleged reduction in her discretionary bonus.
After full briefing, the court granted Yankwitt LLP&rsquo;s motion to dismiss the central disability discrimination claim in its entirety. The court also dismissed the remaining emotional distress claim and substantially narrowed the wage-related allegations.
As a result of the ruling, the case has been reduced from eight counts to a single dispute with limited exposure concerning a bonus the plaintiff claims was reduced as retaliation for filing the lawsuit. Yankwitt LLP looks forward to continuing its vigorous defense and successfully resolving the lone remaining claim

BURKE REHABILITATION EARNS RECOGNITION AMONG THE NATION&rsquo;S BEST REHABILITATION HOSPITALS BY U.S. NEWS &amp; WORLD REPORT 
Burke is the only rehab hospital in the Hudson Valley to rank on prestigious list comprised of just 50 hospitals across the country
White Plains, NY (August 4, 2026) &ndash; Burke Rehabilitation&reg;, a leading provider of advanced physical and medical rehabilitation and member of the Montefiore Health System, today announced it has once again been recognized among the country&rsquo;s Best Rehabilitation Hospitals by U.S. News &amp; World Report in its 2026-27 rankings. Burke was the Hudson Valley&rsquo;s only rehabilitation hospital to make the list, which is widely considered a leading authority for healthcare rankings across the field due to its rigorous review process rooted in key patient safety and quality metrics.
&ldquo;Our ability to maintain this national recognition year over year is a testament not only to the skill of our team, but also to the deep commitment of each and every Burke employee to advancing our mission,&rdquo; said Burke Rehabilitation Executive Director Scott Edelman, MBA, CPA, CFE. &ldquo;Together, we are removing barriers and expanding access, with the goal of ensuring every patient can benefit from the award-winning, personalized care Burke offers, no matter the complexity of their condition.&rdquo;
This honor demonstrates how Burke is redefining recovery for patients navigating medical conditions such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, orthopedics, neurological conditions, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, cancer rehabilitation, and limb loss. Even with its complex patient mix, which includes serving the most stroke patients in New York, Burke boasts impressive outcomes such as a 70% rate of discharges directly to the community, reflecting how the organization helps patients reach their maximum functional recovery.
With prestigious accreditations from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and Joint Commission, Burke continues to exceed the standards of excellence in physical medicine and rehabilitation. A key driver of the strong performance at Burke is the team&rsquo;s comprehensive, whole-person approach to rehabilitative medicine, coordinating care needs and driving exceptional patient outcomes. One example of this approach is a first-of-its-kind project underway at Burke to research the connection between obstructive sleep apnea and acquired brain disorders; by integrating sleep health into standard rehabilitation treatment, Burke researchers hope to improve outcomes and ultimately redefine standard practice for treating this patient population.
&ldquo;This ranking speaks to how Burke consistently looks beyond today&rsquo;s standards to advance the entire field of rehabilitative medicine,&rdquo; said Dr. Erika Trovato, M.S., Associate Chief Medical Officer, Chief Quality Officer at Burke Rehabilitation. &ldquo;We integrate innovative rehabilitation technologies with cutting-edge, evidence-based therapies to deliver data-driven care &ndash; optimizing patient outcomes and setting new benchmarks for quality across the field.&rdquo;
Education, research, and innovation remain core to the Burke mission. Home to one of the nation&rsquo;s leading Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Programs and rigorous Brain Injury and Sports Medicine Fellowship Programs, Burke trains the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of rehabilitative care. 
Over the past several years, Burke has introduced new technologies and services to enhance the organization&rsquo;s care and grow the number of patients it serves. Among the most recent enhancements include the opening of an on-site CT Scanner Suite that enhances care teams&rsquo; ability to faster diagnose and treat patients&rsquo; illnesses and injuries, improving outcomes and creating a more seamless patient care experience. This investment comes two years after Burke became the first and only freestanding rehabilitation hospital in New York to introduce on-site hemodialysis (HD) capabilities, allowing patients with kidney and late-stage renal disease who require intensive rehabilitation to access the award-winning care provided by Burke.

Burke Rehabilitation® Earns Recognition Among Nation's Best Rehabilitation Hospitals by U.S. News

Addiction can affect both partners differently&mdash;even when they use the same substance or have been trying to recover together. Couples in White Plains and Westchester County may need coordinated treatment that addresses each person&rsquo;s medical needs while recognizing how substance use has affected the relationship.Couples Confidential Helpline <a rel="noopener nofollow" href="" target="_blank">(888) 500-2110</a>
Couples Rehab offers confidential treatment-option and admission guidance for married and unmarried partners seeking detox, residential care or inpatient rehab. Assistance is available to couples throughout White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Scarsdale, Harrison, Rye and surrounding Westchester communities.
<h3>Can Couples Enter Rehab Together?</h3>
Some addiction treatment programs accept both partners during the same period. However, each person must be assessed separately and receive an individualized treatment plan.
Depending on clinical needs, recommended services may include:
<ul>
<li>
Medically supervised drug or alcohol detox
</li>
<li>
Residential or inpatient addiction treatment
</li>
<li>
Individual behavioral therapy
</li>
<li>
Couples-focused counseling when appropriate
</li>
<li>
Dual-diagnosis mental health treatment
</li>
<li>
Medication-supported treatment
</li>
<li>
Relapse-prevention and continuing-care planning
</li>
</ul>
Couples may receive treatment within the same provider network while attending separate clinical sessions or living in separate rooms. Admission and housing policies vary by facility. Explore how <a target="_blank" href="https://couplesrehab.com/couples-detox-and-rehab-new-york/" rel="noopener nofollow">couples detox and rehab in New York</a> may be coordinated.
<h3>What Happens During the Admission Process?</h3>
The process typically begins with a confidential telephone assessment. A care navigator may ask about each partner&rsquo;s substance use, withdrawal symptoms, medical history, current medications and mental health concerns.
The next steps can include:
<ol>
<li>
Evaluating each partner&rsquo;s immediate clinical needs
</li>
<li>
Identifying an appropriate level of care
</li>
<li>
Checking program availability
</li>
<li>
Verifying insurance benefits
</li>
<li>
Reviewing transportation and admission requirements
</li>
</ol>
If one partner needs medical detox and the other qualifies for residential care, treatment may begin at different levels before the couple transitions into a coordinated program.
<h3>Will Insurance Cover Couples Rehab?</h3>
Insurance coverage is determined separately for each partner. PPO plans may provide benefits for detox, inpatient rehabilitation and behavioral health treatment when medically necessary. Deductibles, prior authorization, network status and out-of-pocket costs can affect coverage.
Couples can review information about <a target="_blank" href="https://couplesrehab.com/inpatient-rehab-for-married-couples-new-york/" rel="noopener nofollow">inpatient rehab for married couples in New York</a> before speaking with an admission navigator. Unmarried and LGBTQ+ partners may also qualify for couples-friendly treatment options.
<h3>Request Confidential Guidance</h3>
Finding an appropriate couples rehab near White Plains can involve more than locating the closest facility. The program must be able to meet both partners&rsquo; clinical needs and explain how treatment will be coordinated.

White Plains Couples Detox and Rehab: Detox and Inpatient Treatment for Westchester Couples

White Plains, NY (July 15, 2026) &ndash; <a href="https://www.burke.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Burke Rehabilitation</a>&reg;, a leading provider of advanced physical and medical rehabilitation and member of the Montefiore Health System, today announced that it has been awarded $75,000 in grant funding to support a clinical research project focused on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This first-of-its-kind project will integrate sleep health into standard rehabilitation care, improving diagnosis, treatment, and overall outcomes for patients with acquired brain disorders.&nbsp;
Led by Mooyeon Oh-Park, MD, MHCM, Chief Physician, Research &amp; Innovation at Burke, the project will estimate the prevalence of OSA among inpatient rehabilitation facility patients with acquired brain disorders. A two-step diagnostic approach using the STOP-BANG screening instrument followed by the WatchPAT&reg;, a home sleep apnea testing device, is used to identify the high-risk individuals followed by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy and sleep medicine follow-ups post discharge. The outcomes of the project assessed will include functional recovery, sleep quality, rehabilitation participation, length of stay, discharge disposition, and readmissions.&nbsp;
"Obstructive sleep apnea is a modifiable risk factor that can significantly affect neurological recovery and overall health after brain disorders," said Dr. Mooyeon Oh-Park. "By identifying sleep apnea earlier and understanding its role in recovery, we aim to advance more personalized, integrated care plans and shape the future of rehabilitative medicine for medically complex patients."
The project hypothesizes that at least 40 percent of individuals with acquired brain disorders will screen positive for OSA, and among those screening positive, at least 40 percent will be diagnosed with OSA through the WatchPAT&reg; device. Adults ages 18 to 90 admitted to Burke between May 1, 2026, and December 31, 2028, with a diagnosis of acquired brain disorder may be eligible for the project.&nbsp;
Burke Rehabilitation is emerging as a leader for PM&amp;R research and innovation by addressing real-world challenges faced by individuals with neurological, musculoskeletal, and complex medical conditions. Burke is focused on scientifically rigorous, clinically integrated studies targeting meaningful functional outcomes and real-world solutions for medically complex patients. Integrating sleep health into standard rehabilitation care reflects the Burke commitment to maximizing patient recovery by leveraging a "whole person" approach that addresses modifiable factors that influence patient outcomes.&nbsp;
"At Burke, cutting-edge research and innovation are embedded in the clinical care we deliver every day," said Burke Executive Director Scott Edelman, MBA, CPA, CFE. "This work underscores our commitment to advancing evidence-based care and ensuring it is fully integrated into practice. By driving innovation in physical medicine and rehabilitation, we are improving patient outcomes and setting the standard of excellence for rehabilitative care nationwide."&nbsp;
Supported by the ResMed Foundation, the research team at Burke Rehabilitation includes: Mooyeon Oh-Park MD, MHCM; Andrew Abdou, DO; Erika Trovato, DO, Chief Quality Officer, Associate Chief Medical Officer, Program Director, Brain Injury Medicine Fellowship; Josette Hartnett, MPH, Senior Manager of Clinical Research Compliance; Karen McCoy, Director, Respiratory Therapy. The team also includes Alok Bhatt, MD, and Jose Davis, MD, Department of Pulmonary/Sleep Medicine at Montefiore Health System.&nbsp;
