Here at Legacy Health Systems, we do not accept those types of Form
Letters.
Legacy here in Portland is made up of 2 large and 2 small hospitals,
plus all sorts
of other related functions. Aside from the financial side Y2K problems
in Medical
Equip. could cause major problems for a patient.

Any vendor who has responded with a form letter has been sent another
Certified Letter 
with stronger wording. We just had an audit by Author Anderson and
received good comments
regarding our Y2K process.
