Healthy Neighborhoods Project in the Media: Nonprofits to target childhood obesity, diabetes, asthma with state seed money
Since the Healthy Neighborhoods Project Award breakfast on October 19th, Community Health Center of Richmond and South Shore YMCA have been hard at work
engaging in community outreach, seeking input at forums from local community members with the $50,000 awarded to them.
Using the
CDC Change Tool
data collected by the College of Staten Island, St. John's University and Wagner College in Phase I as a guide, each
organization will work with community members in selected neighborhoods on projects focused on decreasing childhood obesity and nutrition and diabetes prevention, based on the ideas and suggestions received from the community.
"This is the first time we'll actually have dedicated funding to solicit input from the community and then design the plan around it,'' said Henry Thompson, the Chief Executive Officer of
Community Health Center of Richmond.

They were invited to present their work at the poster presentation session. Their poster, "Optimizing Quality of Life for Patients with Chronic Illness through Palliative Care" was awarded with special recognition from CAPC and a blue ribbon at the poster session.

Keynote speakers included CAPC founder and director, Dr. Diane Meier; president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, Edo Banach, JD; New York Times reporter and author of the novel An American Sickness: How Healthcare
Became Business and How You Can Take It Back, Dr. Elizabeth Rosenthal; and Press Ganey

Suffering: How Compassionate Connected Care

Make the Road NY - Asthma Home Visit Program
"My name is Rosa, I am from Mexico and have lived in this country for many years. I have two kids who were diagnosed with asthma. We currently rent an apartment in Staten Island. My family consists of 5 people. English is not my first language which is hard for me to understand. I try to practice my English at home so I can also try to understand the doctor when they give me information about my child's health.
When I went to my kid's doctor he recommended a program that can help me understand my children's asthma much better.
Before Maritza came to my home my kids were taking the medication incorrectly. I knew what medication to give them but didn't know what the medications were for: What was a control medication and what was a quick relief medication? When Maritza came in, she demonstrated how to use the medication and explained what each medication does when my kids take it. Now I feel confident with my kids' medication and how they should be using it."
