OUR HOSPITAL LOCATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO PERFORM TWO ANNUAL EXERCISES AT EACH OF OUR ACUTE CARE LOCATIONS - TO A TOTAL OF 8 EXERCISES ANNUALLY. IN 2022, WE CONDUCTED 42 EXERCISES, FAR SURPASSING WHAT IS REQUIRED BY REGULATION. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 80% OF OUR EXPENSES ON EXERCISES BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED BY TJC. THIS IS CALCULATED BY TAKING THE TOTAL ADDITIONAL EXERCISES CONDUCTED ABOVE REGULATION (34) DIVIDED BY TOTAL EXERCISES (42). AT EACH LOCATION, WE CONDUCT A MIX OF MASS CASUALTY INCIDENT (MCI) DRILLS, COMMISSION ON ACCREDITATION OF REHABILITATION (CARF) DRILLS, EXECUTIVE TABLETOP EXERCISES, EXERCISE PLANNING WORKSHOPS, COASTAL STORM TABLETOP EXERCISES, AND TACTICAL EXERCISES. WE ALSO DEVELOP EXERCISE TOOLKITS TO EFFICIENTLY MANAGE THESE ACTIVITIES TO ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY AND COMMUNITY CARE, AND TRAINED OVER 1,000 FRONT-LINE STAFF IN DISASTER TACTICS INCLUDING MASS CASUALTY AND MASS DECONTAMINATION TECHNIQUES.

PART III, LINE 4:
FOLLOWING IS THE NYU LANGONE HOSPITALS' AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT, FOOTNOTE ON UNCOMPENSATED CARE (FOOTNOTE 1, PAGE 13): AS A MATTER OF POLICY, NYU LANGONE HOSPITALS PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF PARTIALLY OR TOTALLY UNCOMPENSATED PATIENT CARE UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY OR THROUGH ITS FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM. FEDERAL AND STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE EMERGENCY SERVICES REGARDLESS OF A PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE LAWS, NYU LANGONE HOSPITALS HAS IMPLEMENTED A DISCOUNT POLICY AND FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MISSION, VALUES, AND CAPACITY OF NYU LANGONE HOSPITALS, WHILE CONSIDERING AN INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR CARE. UNDER THIS POLICY, THE DISCOUNT OFFERED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS IS REFLECTED AS A REDUCTION TO NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE AT THE TIME THE UNINSURED BILLINGS ARE RECORDED. UNINSURED PATIENTS SEEN IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING PATIENTS SUBSEQUENTLY ADMITTED FOR INPATIENT SERVICES, OFTEN DO NOT PROVIDE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO ALLOW LANGONE HOSPITALS TO QUALIFY SUCH PATIENTS FOR CHARITY CARE. NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE RELATED TO UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR EITHER MEDICAID ASSISTANCE OR NYU LANGONE HOSPITALS' FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM IS RECOGNIZED FOR THE AMOUNT OF CONSIDERATION TO WHICH NYU LANGONE HOSPITALS EXPECTS TO BE ENTITLED IN EXCHANGE FOR PROVIDING PATIENT CARE, NET OF IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSIONS BASED ON HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS. IMPLICIT PRICE CONCESSION RATES FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS ARE REFINED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.NYU LANGONE HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE POLICY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH'S GUIDELINES, ENSURES THE PROVISION OF QUALITY HEALTH CARE TO THE COMMUNITY SERVED WHILE CAREFULLY CONSIDERING THE ABILITY OF THE PATIENT TO PAY. THE POLICY HAS SLIDING FEE SCHEDULES FOR INPATIENT, AMBULATORY, AND EMERGENCY SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE UNINSURED AND UNDER-INSURED PATIENTS THAT QUALIFY. PATIENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE CHARITY CARE FEE SCHEDULE IF THEY MEET CERTAIN INCOME TESTS. SINCE PAYMENT OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LANGONE HOSPITALS' STANDARD CHARGES AND THE CHARITY CARE FEE SCHEDULES IS NOT SOUGHT, THESE FORGONE CHARGES FOR CHARITY CARE ARE NOT REPORTED AS REVENUE.

PART III, LINE 8:
MEDICARE REVENUE AND ALLOWABLE COSTS REPORTED ON PART III, SECTION B, LINES 5 AND 6 ARE DERIVED FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT FILED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31,2022.

PATIENTS ARE INFORMED OF THE HOSPITAL'S CHARITY CARE AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY BY APPROPRIATE SIGNAGE IN THE REGISTRATION AND INTAKE AREAS; INFORMATION DISTRIBUTED IN THE ADMISSION PACKAGE; AND RESPONSES TO DIRECT INQUIRIES. ALL HOSPITAL BILLS AND STATEMENTS WILL INCLUDE A STATEMENT THAT IF THE PATIENT WAS UNABLE TO PAY THE BILL, HE OR SHE MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND HOW TO OBTAIN FURTHER INFORMATION. APPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH, ARABIC, BENGALI, CHINESE, GREEK, FARSI, GREEK, HAITIAN-CREOLE, ITALIAN, KOREAN, POLISH, PORTUGUESE, RUSSIAN, AND SPANISH, AND TRANSLATION SERVICES WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR PATIENTS NEEDING SUCH SERVICES.

PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES:
"ACTIVITY: PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH COHORTSNYU LANGONE HEALTH PARTICIPATES IN COHORTS AND COMMITMENTS AIMED TO IMPROVE NATIONAL AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. IT IS A FORUM TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS TO IDENTIFY AND SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT GO BEYOND REGULATIONS TO REDUCE CHEMICAL EXPOSURE, IMPROVE ACCESS TO FRESH PRODUCE, REDUCE AIR POLLUTION AND MORE - ALL WITH THE CENTRAL GOAL TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE AS A GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUE.OUR PARTICIPATION IN CITY AND NATIONAL COHORTS SUPPORTS ACTIVITIES THAT BENEFIT OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND/OR ENABLES COLLECTIVE ACTION WITH OTHER HOSPITAL PARTICIPANTS TO DEMAND CHANGE FROM STAKEHOLDERS AND GOVERNMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, WE ARE PARTICIPANTS OF THE VOLUNTARY NYC OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY'S CARBON CHALLENGE FOR HOSPITALS WHICH REDUCES CITY-WIDE CARBON EMISSION, IMPROVING LOCAL AIR QUALITY. CURRENT NEW YORK AIR POLLUTION LEVELS CONTINUE TO THREATEN COMMUNITIES, PARTICULARLY LOWER-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS, AND RAISE THE RISK FOR HEART AND LUNG HEALTH COMPLICATIONS. THE NEW YORK HEALTH DEPARTMENT ESTIMATES THAT PM2.5 POLLUTION CONTRIBUTES TO MORE THAN 3,000 DEATHS AND 2,000 HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS FOR CORONARY AND RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS ANNUALLY. WE ALSO PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH CARE WITHOUT HARM'S U.S. HEALTH CARE CLIMATE COUNCIL, WHICH RECOGNIZES CLIMATE CHANGE AS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE AND SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIES COMMUNITY BENEFIT INITIATIVES AS A PRIORITY IN ANNUAL GOALS. COHORTS INCLUDE: HEALTH CARE WITHOUT HARM (COMMUNITY BENEFIT, SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT, HEALTHY INTERIORS, AND LESS MEAT, BETTER MEAT); AND BEDFORD STUYVESANT RESTORATION CORPORATION (FARM TO HOSPITAL). AS A MEMBER OF THE HEALTHY INTERIORS COHORT, WE WORK WITH OUR FURNITURE AND FURNISHING MANUFACTURERS TO MAKE SURE THOSE PRODUCTS ARE FREE OF CHEMICALS OF CONCERN AND ULTIMATELY INCLUDE THOSE REQUIREMENTS INTO OUR NYU LANGONE RED+F DESIGN GUIDELINES. THIS REQUIREMENT NOT ONLY REDUCES CHEMICAL EXPOSURE WITHIN THE HOSPITAL, BUT REDUCES EXPOSURE TO THOSE WORKING THROUGHOUT THE PRODUCT MANUFACTURING CHAIN. IT ULTIMATELY REDUCES OR REMOVES RESPIRATORY AND/OR CARDIOVASCULAR HAZARDS, TOXINS, CARCINOGENS AND OTHER HARMFUL MATERIALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND IN THOSE COMMUNITIES VULNERABLE TO EXPOSURE.ACTIVITY: ORGANIC FOOD PURCHASESFOOD & NUTRITION SERVICES (""FNS"") PURCHASE LOCAL AND ORGANIC FOODS FOR BOTH RETAIL AND PATIENT MENUS. THE ENERGY & SUSTAINABILITY TEAM WORK CLOSELY WITH CHEF JEFFREY HELD (CULINARY SUSTAINABILITY & WELLNESS, F&NS) TO INCORPORATE MORE LOCAL, ORGANIC, AND SUSTAINABLY-GROWN PRODUCE ACROSS THE INSTITUTION. LOCAL PURCHASING REDUCES TRANSPORTATION-RELATED EMISSIONS AND THEREFORE IMPROVES AIR QUALITY AND REDUCES PARTICULATE MATTER (POLLUTION). IT ALSO SUPPORTS LOCAL FARMS AND PRODUCERS' BUSINESSES AND LIVELIHOODS. PURCHASING ORGANIC PRODUCE REDUCES THE USE OF HARMFUL NON-ORGANIC PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES. THOSE COMMUNITIES LIVING NEAR OR WORKING ON AN ORGANIC FARM EXPERIENCE LESS EXPOSURE TO TOXIC CHEMICALS AND THE COMMUNITY IS PROTECTED AS THESE CHEMICALS OFTEN LEECH INTO WATERWAYS AND THE PRODUCE AND LINGER IN THE AIR/CLOTHING. THE NUMEROUS NEGATIVE HEALTH EFFECTS THAT HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH CHEMICAL PESTICIDES INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER EFFECTS, DERMATOLOGICAL, GASTROINTESTINAL, NEUROLOGICAL, CARCINOGENIC, RESPIRATORY, REPRODUCTIVE, AND ENDOCRINE EFFECTS. FURTHERMORE, HIGH OCCUPATIONAL, ACCIDENTAL, OR INTENTIONAL EXPOSURE TO PESTICIDES CAN RESULT IN HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH.BY ELIMINATING THE USE OF TOXIC PESTICIDES, ORGANIC FARMS ALSO PROVIDE A HEALTHIER WORK ENVIRONMENT THAN THEIR CONVENTIONAL COUNTERPARTS. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT EMPLOYEES ON CONVENTIONAL FARMS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE AT SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISKS FROM BEING EXPOSED TO PESTICIDES. EMPLOYEES MAY CARRY THOSE RISKS HOME, WHERE THEY MIGHT EXPOSE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS INCLUDING SMALL CHILDREN AND OLDER ADULTS TO CHEMICALS THAT CREATE CHRONIC TOXICITY. ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THREATS TO GLOBAL HEALTH, FOOD SECURITY, AND DEVELOPMENT TODAY. ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE LEADS TO LONGER HOSPITAL STAYS, HIGHER MEDICAL COSTS, AND INCREASED MORTALITY. AS A RESPONSE TO THIS THREAT, WE PURCHASE ANTIBIOTIC FREE POULTRY TO REDUCE EXPOSURE. HANDLING LIVESTOCK THAT'S BEEN GIVEN ANTIBIOTICS CAN ALSO CREATE LIVESTOCK-ASSOCIATED, ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT BACTERIA, WHICH THESE EMPLOYEES ALSO CAN SPREAD TO THEIR FAMILIES. THE PREVALENCE OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT BACTERIA AND ZOONOTIC VIRUSES NATIONALLY AND GLOBALLY IS A RECOGNIZED RISK BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION TO POPULATION HEALTH AND IS EXACERBATED BY THE OVERUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN CONVENTIONAL AND NON-ORGANIC METHODS OF RAISING LIVESTOCK.AS A WAY TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY, NUTRITIONAL DIETS FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AND STAFF AND THEIR FAMILIES, FNS MANAGES THE COOKING FOR WELLNESS VIDEO SERIES. THIS PROGRAM FEATURES RECIPES THAT INCORPORATE SEASONAL AND LOCAL PRODUCE, HIGHLIGHTS NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF INGREDIENTS, AND IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY COOKING AT HOME. THESE VIDEOS ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL STAFF, PATIENTS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ONLINE THROUGH THE NYU LANGONE YOUTUBE PAGE. IN FY22, THESE VIDEOS HAVE BEEN VIEWED BY THE PUBLIC OVER 6,900 TIMES, SHOWCASING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH THIS SERIES. THESE SERIES ALSO SHOWCASE COMMUNITY AMENITIES THAT PATIENTS CAN ACCESS AND UTILIZE. ACTIVITY: GREEN ROOFTHE MANHATTAN MAIN CAMPUS HAS AN EXISTING GREEN ROOF AND ANOTHER CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THESE GREEN ROOFS ARE PART OF THE INSTITUTION'S RESILIENCY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ADDRESSES THE LOCAL COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO WITHSTAND NATURAL DISASTERS. GREEN ROOF IS A LAYER OF VEGETATION INSTALLED ON A TRADITIONAL FLAT OR PITCHED ROOF. THIS VEGETATION CAN CAPTURE AIRBORNE POLLUTANTS, ATMOSPHERIC DEPOSITION, AND FILTER NOXIOUS GASES, THUS IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF AIR IN THE IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY. IT ALSO RETAINS 70-90% OF PRECIPITATION IN THE SUMMERS AND 25-50% OF PRECIPITATION IN THE WINTERS, WHICH HELPS MANAGE STORM WATER RUNOFF AND REDUCE STRESS ON MUNICIPAL SEWER SYSTEMS AT PEAK FLOW PERIODS. GREEN ROOF TEMPERATURES CAN BE 30-40F LOWER THAN THOSE OF CONVENTIONAL ROOFS AND CAN REDUCE CITY-WIDE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES BY UP TO 5F; THUS REDUCING COMMUNITY HEAT STRESS WHICH IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD. ACTIVITY: EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSCOMMUNITY SAFETY PREPAREDNESS - WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE MAIN MANHATTAN HOSPITAL CAMPUS IS THE CLOSEST HOSPITAL TO A NUMBER OF MAJOR TOURIST/TRANSIT SITES (HERALD SQUARE, TIMES SQUARE, PENN STATION, GRAND CENTRAL, EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, AND UNITED NATIONS HQ). PARTICULARLY FOR LARGE GATHERING EVENTS AT THESE LOCATIONS, THE HOSPITAL HIRES A TRAINED MASS DECONTAMINATION TEAM ON STANDBY FOR POTENTIAL INFLUX OF PATIENTS DUE TO UNEXPECTED DISASTERS THAT REQUIRE DECONTAMINATION, I.E. TEAR GAS, BOMBS. THIS STANDBY TEAM IS NOT REQUIRED BY ANY REGULATORY BODY. THIS IS A PROACTIVE EFFORT BY EMER THAT PROTECTS THE COMMUNITY, RESULTING IN QUICKER RESPONSE AND ACTION TO EMERGENCIES.COMMUNITY DISASTER WORKFORCE TRAINING - THE HOSPITAL HAS INVESTED HEAVILY IN PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL DEDICATED TO DISASTER PREPAREDNESS EACH YEAR. THESE EXPENDITURES ENSURE THAT THE HOSPITAL WILL BE READY TO HANDLE A LARGE-SCALE DISASTER IN THE AREA AND MEET THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF THOSE THAT ARE IMPACTED. THIS PREPAREDNESS INCLUDES PLANS FOR HANDLING LARGE VOLUMES OF SICK OR INJURED PEOPLE UNDER VARIOUS SCENARIOS, SUCH AS FOR TERROR ATTACKS, POWER OUTAGES OR NATURAL DISASTERS SUCH AND HURRICANES AND BLIZZARDS. AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE, NYU LANGONE HEALTH HAS RECOGNIZED THE NEED TO ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF PATIENT CARE DURING EMERGENCIES AND DISASTERS AND HAS INVESTED TIME, ENERGY, AND RESOURCES TO ENSURE WE ARE A RESILIENT ORGANIZATION. EXERCISES INCLUDE SCENARIOS RANGING FROM INTERNAL EMERGENCIES, TO SUPPORTING VICTIMS FROM A MASS CASUALTY INCIDENT THAT OCCURS IN OUR COMMUNITY. (CONTINUED BELOW)"

PART III, LINE 9B:
THE HOSPITAL RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TURN OVER TO COLLECTIONS THE ACCOUNTS OF PATIENTS WHO HAVE AN UNPAID BALANCE AND WHO DO NOT APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE HOSPITAL WILL NOT REFER TO COLLECTIONS ANY ACCOUNTS WHERE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION IS PENDING; THE PATIENT IS DETERMINED TO BE MEDICAID-ELIGIBLE AT THE TIME HOSPITAL SERVICES WERE RENDERED; OR PURSUING LEGAL ACTION WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY HIS/HER MONTHLY LIVING EXPENSES. COLLECTION AGENTS ENGAGED BY THE HOSPITAL ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THIS POLICY. FURTHERMORE, IF A LEGAL ACTION INSTITUTED BY THE COLLECTION AGENCY (ACTING ONLY ON THE HOSPITAL'S PRIOR CONSENT) IS DECIDED IN FAVOR OF THE HOSPITAL, THE HOSPITAL WILL NOT SEEK TO FORECLOSE THE PATIENT'S PRIMARY RESIDENCE (ALTHOUGH IT MAY FILE A LIEN) OR TO FREEZE A PATIENT'S BANK ACCOUNT OR GARNISH HIS/HER WAGES ABSENT EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.

"PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN ASSESSING COMMUNITY NEED AND SETTING PRIORITIES HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROCESS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. WE HAVE ENGAGED A RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS - WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED RESIDENTS - TO ASSESS COMMUNITY NEEDS; SET PRIORITIES; DEVELOP, DESIGN, AND IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS; AND SHARE AND CELEBRATE PROGRESS AND RESULTS. WE EMPLOY DIVERSE, OFTEN MULTI-PRONGED, STRATEGIES AND RELY ON OUR EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND ADVISORY BOARDS AND COMMITTEES TO PROVIDE ONGOING OUTREACH AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT. THE FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS AT NYU LANGONE ADVISORY STRUCTURE INCLUDES THE SUNSET PARK HEALTH COUNCIL AS THE COMMUNITY GOVERNING BOARD; CULTURALLY-SPECIFIC ADVISORY GROUPS; AND PROGRAM-SPECIFIC COUNCILS, INCLUDING THE TEEN HEALTH COUNCIL WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER NYU LANGONE FACULTY AND STAFF, COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND POLICYMAKERS, MEETS QUARTERLY TO OVERSEE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION, SHARE FINDINGS, PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO COMMUNITY NEED, AND IDENTIFY PRIORITIES. IN ADDITION, EACH COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN (""CSP"") PROJECT HAS DEVELOPED DEEPER COMMUNITY RELATIONS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS AND THESE HAVE PROVIDED AN IMPORTANT WAY FOR US TO UNDERSTAND AND SHAPE OUR CHNA AND GUIDE OUR PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND ASSESSMENT. AS PART OF OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (""CHNA"") AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION, WE REGULARLY CONSULT WITH PUBLIC HEALTH AND POLICY EXPERTS IN THE CITY AND STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, THE STATE OFFICE OF MENTAL HEALTH, THE CITY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, THE NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, THE NYC OFFICE OF HOUSING PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS WITH EXPERTISE ON THE NEEDS OF LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS, INCLUDING COMMUNITY LEADERS, RESIDENT ASSOCIATIONS, FAITH- AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, ADVOCACY GROUPS, AND MEMBERS OF COMMUNITY BOARDS.TO UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT COMMUNITY NEED AND TO SUPPORT POLICYMAKERS, PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS IN UNDERSTANDING COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHICS, AND HOUSING AND HEALTH OUTCOMES (A HIGH COMMUNITY PRIORITY), WE UNDERTOOK A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SOURCES OF DATA, INCLUDING THE NYC DEPARTMENT OF CITY PLANNING FACT FINDER; THE NYC DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH ATLAS; AND THE NYULHC CITY HEALTH DASHBOARD.SUMMARIES AND UPDATES OF THE CHNA AND CSP, ARE SHARED WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND COALITIONS, AS WELL AS WITH COMMUNITY BOARDS. THESE MEETINGS INCLUDE RESIDENTS, AS WELL AS REPRESENTATIVES FROM BUSINESSES, AND GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. THESE SUMMARIES WERE ALSO USED TO INFORM AND SOLICIT INPUT FROM NYULH - BROOKLYN AND FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS AT NYU LANGONE ADVISORY GROUPS AND FRONTLINE STAFF AND FROM COMMUNITY PARTNERS, INCLUDING THE CSP COORDINATING COUNCIL.WE HAVE SOLICITED WRITTEN COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON OUR PREVIOUS CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN BOTH THROUGH OUR WEBSITE AND AT PUBLIC MEETINGS. ALTHOUGH NO WRITTEN COMMENTS WERE RECEIVED, COMMENTS AND DISCUSSIONS FOLLOWED PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS AT COMMUNITY MEETINGS. THROUGH THIS IN-DEPTH AND COMMUNITY-ENGAGED PROCESS, WE HAVE COMPILED AND UPDATED OUR PROFILE OF THE HEALTH NEEDS AND STRENGTHS OF THE LOWER EAST SIDE AND CHINATOWN, SUNSET PARK AND RED HOOK AND HEMPSTEAD. THIS ANALYSIS HAS, IN TURN, INFORMED THE PRIORITIES THAT COMPRISE OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN."

PART VI, LINE 4:
AS A MAJOR ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER, NYULH SERVES A BROAD COMMUNITY OF DIVERSE POPULATIONS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF HEALTH CARE NEEDS. ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA INCLUDES MANHATTAN, BROOKLYN, LONG ISLAND AND QUEENS; AND THE SECONDARY SERVICE AREA EXTENDS INTO STATEN ISLAND, WESTCHESTER, AND NEW JERSEY. TO BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF OUR PRIMARY SERVICE AREAS, WE REVIEWED PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA REPORTS AND SUMMARIES, SUCH AS THE COMMUNITY HEALTH PROFILES FROM THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE AND THE PREVENTION AGENDA DASHBOARD FROM THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. ADDITIONAL SECONDARY DATA SOURCES WERE REVIEWED AND ANALYZED, AS DETAILED IN APPENDIX A OF OUR CHNA. BASED ON THAT REVIEW AND IN LIGHT OF OUR COMMITMENT TO CONTINUING OUR CSP PARTNERSHIPS AND WORK, THE 2022-2024 COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON THE COMMUNITIES SERVED THROUGH THE PREVIOUS PLANS; THE LOWER EAST SIDE AND CHINATOWN IN MANHATTAN, AND SUNSET PARK AND RED HOOK IN BROOKLYN. IN ADDITION, OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST YEAR, FOLLOWING THE MERGER WITH WINTHROP HOSPITAL (NOW NYU LANGONE HOSPITAL - LONG ISLAND), WE HAVE UNDERTAKEN A CHNAA FOCUSED ON THE VILLAGE OF HEMPSTEAD IN NASSAU COUNTY AND HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO MEET THE NEED AND PRIORITIES OF THIS VIBRANT BUT UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITY. OUR 2022-2024 PLAN EXTENDS TO THAT COMMUNITY AS WELL.THESE COMMUNITIES - THE LOWER EAST SIDE AND CHINATOWN IN MANHATTAN AND SUNSET PARK AND RED HOOK IN BROOKLYN, AND HEMPSTEAD IN NASSAU COUNTY - WERE SELECTED BASED ON THE NEED FOR SERVICE AS EVIDENCED BY SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, HEALTH DISPARITIES, RISK FACTORS, AND UTILIZATION DATA. ALTHOUGH THESE COMMUNITIES ARE NOT GEOGRAPHICALLY CONTIGUOUS, THEY SHARE IMPORTANT SIMILARITIES, INCLUDING THE DIVERSITY OF THEIR POPULATIONS, AN INFRASTRUCTURE OF STRONG COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS.SUNSET PARKSUNSET PARK RESIDENTS MAKE UP THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF INDIVIDUALS WHO USE NYU LANGONE HOSPITAL - BROOKLYN AND FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS AT NYU LANGONE. THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS A MIXED RESIDENTIAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY IN SOUTHWEST BROOKLYN, ADJOINING THE WATERFRONT. SUNSET PARK CAN BE DESCRIBED AS ENCOMPASSING THREE GEOGRAPHIC AREAS: SUNSET PARK WEST, SUNSET PARK CENTRAL, AND SUNSET PARK EAST/ BOROUGH PARK WEST. THE POPULATION IN EACH OF THESE AREAS HAS GROWN BETWEEN 2010-2020 AND TODAY IS HOME TO ABOUT 146,000 RESIDENTS IN AGGREGATE. THIS GROWTH HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF ASIAN RESIDENTS, WHICH HAS OFFSET A DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF LATINX RESIDENTS. OVERALL, 40% OF THE RESIDENTS ARE ASIAN, 39% ARE LATINX, AND 16% ARE WHITE. IN SUNSET PARK WEST, MOST RESIDENTS ARE LATINX (56%) WHILE IN SUNSET PARK CENTRAL AND SUNSET PARK EAST/BOROUGH PARK WEST, MOST RESIDENTS ARE ASIAN (57% AND 55% RESPECTIVELY). ABOUT 41% OF THE LATINX RESIDENTS ARE OF MEXICAN ORIGIN, AND ABOUT 91% OF THE ASIAN RESIDENTS ARE OF CHINESE ORIGIN.FOR NEARLY 200 YEARS, SUNSET PARK HAS SERVED AS A FIRST DESTINATION FOR IMMIGRANTS - TODAY, 50% OF RESIDENTS ARE BORN OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. ALTHOUGH, AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION I.D.1. LOCAL BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN HIT HARD BY THE PANDEMIC, TWO VIBRANT COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS OF SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, AND SMALL BUSINESSES CONTINUE TO SERVE THIS MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITY.WITH A NETWORK OF COMMUNITY- AND FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCAL INDUSTRIES THAT PROVIDE ENTRY-LEVEL SERVICE AND FACTORY JOBS, THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SUPPORTED AND PROVIDED A STRONG FOOTHOLD FOR MANY NEW IMMIGRANTS. ACCESS TO AND AWARENESS OF CULTURALLY-APPROPRIATE AND LINGUISTICALLY ACCESSIBLE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY ARE CONSISTENTLY IDENTIFIED AS TOP NEEDS AND PRIORITIES BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PARTNERS. MANY SUNSET PARK RESIDENTS ARE BEST SERVED IN A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH; 78% OF RESIDENTS AGES 5 YEARS AND OLDER SPEAK A PRIMARY LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH AT HOME, WITH SPANISH (38%) AND MANDARIN, CANTONESE OR OTHER CHINESE DIALECT (30%) BEING MOST COMMON. FIFTY-FOUR PERCENT OF RESIDENTS AGES 5 YEARS AND OLDER HAVE LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY.SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES CONTINUE TO BE TOP PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS. SUNSET PARK IS A COMMUNITY THAT GRAPPLES WITH HIGH LEVELS OF POVERTY, LOW EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, AND HEALTH DISPARITIES. TWENTY-SIX PERCENT OF RESIDENTS LIVE BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL COMPARED TO 18% OF RESIDENTS IN NEW YORK CITY. FROM 2010 TO 2019, THE PERCENTAGE OF WEALTHIEST RESIDENTS (MAKING FIVE TIMES OR MORE OF THE POVERTY LEVEL) INCREASED FROM 12% TO 16% WHILE THE PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTS WHO EXPERIENCED POVERTY REMAINED ROUGHLY THE SAME (FROM 27% TO 26%). WITH MEDIAN EARNINGS FOR SUNSET PARK WORKERS AT JUST OVER $26,000, COMPARED WITH NEARLY $41,000 FOR WORKERS CITYWIDE, MANY OF THOSE WHO WORK STILL EXPERIENCE POVERTY. POVERTY IS PARTICULARLY ACUTE AMONG CHILDREN - 36% OF CHILDREN UNDER 18 LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. ABOUT 43% OF ADULTS AGES 25 YEARS OR OLDER HAVE LESS THAN A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, INCLUDING 22% WHO HAVE LESS THAN A 9TH GRADE EDUCATION. THE LOWER LEVEL OF EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT IS IN PART A REFLECTION OF LIMITED EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. EDUCATION IS HIGHLY VALUED BY FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND GRADUATION RATES OF STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS IN SUNSET PARK ARE CONSISTENTLY AT OR ABOVE THE CITYWIDE RATE.PRIOR TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, UNEMPLOYMENT WAS 6% IN SUNSET PARK, SIMILAR TO NYC (6%); HOWEVER NEARLY ONE-QUARTER OF EMPLOYED SUNSET PARK RESIDENTS WORKED IN THE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT, RECREATION, ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD SERVICES INDUSTRY AND MANY EMPLOYED IN THESE SECTORS LOST JOBS DURING THE PANDEMIC. IN RECENT CONVERSATIONS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, ALL HAVE STRESSED THE NEED FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FOR DOCUMENTED AND UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ACROSS A REALISTIC RANGE OF JOB TYPES, NOTING THAT ADDRESSING ADULT LITERACY IS A PREREQUISITE TO SUCCESSFUL TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT.SUNSET PARK RESIDENTS ARE NEARLY TWICE AS LIKELY TO LACK HEALTH INSURANCE THAN RESIDENTS CITYWIDE (14% VS. 8%), WITH RATES VARYING BY AGE. WHILE NEARLY ALL CHILDREN IN SUNSET PARK AND CITYWIDE HAVE SOME HEALTH INSURANCE, ABOUT 20% OF ADULTS AGES 18-64 YEARS ARE UNINSURED. OVERALL, FIFTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF SUNSET PARK RESIDENTS HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGH PUBLIC COVERAGE (E.G., MEDICAID OR MEDICARE).SUNSET PARK HAS A STRONG NETWORK OF TRUSTED COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS MANY OF WHICH HAVE SERVED THE COMMUNITY FOR SEVERAL GENERATIONS. IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THESE LONGSTANDING PARTNERS, THE NEED TO ADDRESS THESE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH - THROUGH CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT - WAS REPEATEDLY IDENTIFIED AS A KEY PRIORITY. ECONOMIC PRESSURES, FEAR IN THE FACE OF ANTI-IMMIGRANT SENTIMENT, LANGUAGE BARRIERS AND COMPETING PRIORITIES WERE ALL IDENTIFIED AS BARRIERS TO WELL-BEING, HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE ACCESS. WORKING WITH AND RELYING ON THESE TRUSTED PARTNERS IS A CENTRAL TO ALL OF OUR WORK IN THE COMMUNITY. ARAB AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN SOUTHWEST BROOKLYNDATA SPECIFIC TO THE ARAB AMERICAN COMMUNITY ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND AS DETAILED ETHNIC AND CULTURAL HERITAGE ARE NOT OFTEN COLLECTED ON POPULATION-BASED SURVEYS OR ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS. A HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR THE BROOKLYN ARAB AMERICAN COMMUNITY WAS LAST CONDUCTED IN 2008. IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AT THE ARAB AMERICAN COMMUNITY ADVISORY GROUP QUARTERLY MEETING AT NYU LANGONE HOSPITAL--BROOKLYN, ARAB AMERICAN COMMUNITY PARTNERS ADVOCATED FOR AN UP-TO-DATE ASSESSMENT OF HEALTH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES TO BETTER INFORM NYU LANGONE HOSPITAL- BROOKLYN STRATEGIES FOR ENGAGING THE ARAB COMMUNITY. (SEE APPENDIX B FOR A FULL LIST OF THE PARTICIPATING PARTNERS.) THE PURPOSE OF THIS ASSESSMENT WAS TO DESCRIBE THE HEALTH NEEDS, PRIORITIES, AND BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE SPECIFIC TO THE ARAB AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN BROOKLYN.MEMBERS FROM COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS FORMED A WORKING GROUP TO DEVELOP THE SURVEY. A CONVENIENCE SAMPLE APPROACH WAS USED TO RECRUIT PARTICIPANTS. PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS INVITED THEIR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO ANSWER THE SURVEY AND ALSO WORKED WITH MOSQUES, CHURCHES, AND OTHER PROGRAMS SERVING THE BROOKLYN ARAB AMERICAN COMMUNITY TO INVITE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PARTICIPATE. PARTICIPANTS WERE ELIGIBLE IF THEY WERE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD, SELF-IDENTIFIED AS ARAB AMERICAN, AND LIVED IN BROOKLYN. THE ANONYMOUS SURVEY WAS ADMINISTERED BY INTERVIEWERS WHO WERE TRAINED COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PARTICIPANTS' PREFERRED LANGUAGE (ARABIC OR ENGLISH). RESPONSES WERE COLLECTED ON PAPER AND ENTERED INTO AN ELECTRONIC DATABASE BY TRAINED COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION AND HEALTH ORGANIZATION STAFF FLUENT IN BOTH ARABIC AND ENGLISH. DATA COLLECTION TOOK PLACE BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2019 AND DECEMBER 2019.(CONTINUED PAGE 124)

"THE COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN COORDINATING COUNCIL, COMPOSED OF NYU LANGONE HEALTH FACULTY AND STAFF FROM ACROSS THE INSTITUTION, LEADERSHIP AND STAFF OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTNERS AND POLICYMAKERS, CONTINUES TO MEET EVERY THREE MONTHS. THE COUNCIL COORDINATES COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN PROJECTS, ENSURING THAT THEY ARE MEETING MILESTONES, MAXIMIZING THEIR IMPACT, AND FOSTERING COLLABORATION ACROSS INSTITUTIONS AND SECTORS. WE CONTINUE TO FIND OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN AND TO WORK ACROSS PROJECTS AND WITH COLLEAGUES THROUGHOUT THE INSTITUTION AND IN THE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO USE THIS FORUM TO DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION ABOUT THE NYULH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY. IN ITS FIRST YEAR (2013), THE COORDINATING COUNCIL COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOPED A SET OF PRINCIPLES TO GUIDE THE CSP PARTNERSHIPS. THESE WERE INCORPORATED IN THE MEMORANDA OF UNDERSTANDING WITH PARTNERS AND PROVIDED GUIDANCE ABOUT INFORMATION SHARING, COMPENSATION OF PARTNERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR DISSEMINATION OF FINDINGS. IN 2019, THE COUNCIL REVISITED AND STRENGTHENED THESE COMMUNITY-BASED PARTICIPATORY PRINCIPLES, AND THEN USED THOSE PRINCIPLES AS A FOUNDATION FOR BRINGING A MORE DIRECT AND INTENTIONAL ANTI-RACISM FOCUS TO THE WORK. IN 2020, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING GUIDING DOCUMENT:GUIDING PRINCIPLES TO INCREASE AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, IMPROVE HEALTH EQUITY, AND IMPLEMENT AN ANTI-RACIST AGENDA WE COMMIT TO:1. COLLABORATIVELY DEFINING THE COMMUNITY WITH WHICH WE ARE WORKING, UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF HEALTH INEQUITIES AND THE IMPACT OF STRUCTURAL RACISM* ON COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, AND UNDERSTANDING OUR ROLES - AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS MEMBERS OR REPRESENTATIVES OF ORGANIZATIONS; 2. BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS OF TRUST AND APPRECIATION, AND TO TAKING THE TIME TO CONTINUALLY REFLECT ON, EVALUATE, AND STRENGTHEN OUR COLLABORATIVE PROCESSES;3. BUILDING ON AND LEVERAGING STRENGTHS AND RESOURCES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY;4. COLLABORATIVELY DEFINING THE ROLES OF ALL PARTNERS IN ALL PHASES OF THE WORK IN A WAY THAT LEVERAGES EXPERTISE, MINIMIZING BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION, PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE PAST, AND ENSURING THAT THE CONTRIBUTION OF ALL PARTICIPANTS IS RECOGNIZED AND APPROPRIATELY COMPENSATED;5. LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER AND BUILDING OUR CAPACITIES AND SKILLS;6. ENSURING THAT ALL PARTNERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND RESOURCES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMUNICATION OF FINDINGS AND KNOWLEDGE GAINED, RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR PRIVACY AND PROTECTING PARTICIPANTS AND THE COMMUNITY FROM INADVERTENT HARM; AND7. MAKING A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT AND WORKING TO MAKE SUSTAINABLE CHANGE.TO HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE, WE WILL:"" COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOP A PLAN FOR EACH INITIATIVE, AND FOR THE CSP AS A WHOLE, TO INCREASE AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, IMPROVE HEALTH EQUITY, AND IMPLEMENT AN ANTI-RACIST AGENDA;"" DEVELOP MECHANISMS TO REVIEW OUR PLANS, TO MEASURE PROGRESS, AND TO LEARN FROM OUR SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES; AND"" SHARE WHAT WE LEARN ALONG THE WAY, INTERNALLY AND WITH OTHER INTERESTED COLLABORATIONS.* AS DEFINED BY DR. MARY BASSETT AND COLLEAGUES, ""STRUCTURAL RACISM REFERS TO THE TOTALITY OF WAYS IN WHICH SOCIETIES FOSTER RACIAL DISCRIMINATION THROUGH MUTUALLY REINFORCING SYSTEMS OF HOUSING, EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, EARNINGS, BENEFITS, CREDIT, MEDIA, HEALTH CARE, AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE. THESE PATTERNS AND PRACTICES IN TURN REINFORCE DISCRIMINATORY BELIEFS, VALUES, AND DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES.""OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, EACH CSP PROJECT HAS SELECTED ONE OR MORE OF THESE PRINCIPLES AS A FOCUS FOR SELF-ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION. SEE APPENDIX C, WHICH EXPLAINS THE PROCESS AND EXPECTATIONS. ALL CSP PROJECTS HAVE WORKED TO INCLUDE DEEPER PARTICIPATION BY COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND RESIDENTS, INCLUDING AND COMPENSATING PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE AS PROGRAM LEADERS, ON ADVISORY COMMITTEES, AND AS SPEAKERS AND MODERATORS. FOR EXAMPLE: THE HEALTH X HOUSING LAB ADVISORY COMMITTEE INCLUDES FIVE MEMBERS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE OF HOMELESSNESS. THE LAB WORKS TO MINIMIZE BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION BY ENSURING THAT COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE THE MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT THEY NEED TO FULLY ENGAGE AS COMMITTEE MEMBERS. ALL OF THE LAB EVENTS FEATURE SPEAKERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS OR HOUSING INSECURITY, RECOGNIZING THEIR SIGNIFICANT EXPERTISE. THE LAB'S ""FLIPPING THE SCRIPT"" EVENTS EXPLICITLY AIM TO CHALLENGE TRADITIONAL PARADIGMS OF WHO WE THINK OF AS EXPERTS AND TEACHERS IN MEDICAL EDUCATION, POSITIONING PATIENTS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE OF HOMELESSNESS THEMSELVES AS THE EXPERT TEACHERS.THE COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER RESEARCH AND RESOURCE CENTER (CHW-RRC) IS LED BY THE CHW LEARNING COMMITTEE, MADE UP OF FOUR TO SIX CHWS, WHO GUIDE CHW-RRC PROGRAMMING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. THE QUARTERLY WELLNESS SURVEY FOR THE CHWS, WHICH WAS PREPARED COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE LEARNING COMMITTEE, LED TO THE CREATION OF MONTHLY MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT GROUPS AND OTHER PROGRAMMING AND SUPPORT SERVICES. ALL OF THE CHW-RRC PROGRAMS, WHICH ARE ATTENDED BY HUNDREDS OF FRONTLINE WORKERS AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ARE MODERATED BY CHWS. THE CHW-RRC HAS ALSO ORGANIZED A TWO-SESSION PANEL FOR 3RD-YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS, INTRODUCING THEM TO THE ROLE OF CHWS AND EXPLORING HOW MEDICAL STUDENTS AND PHYSICIANS CAN WORK EFFECTIVELY WITH THIS WORKFORCE. THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE MEDICAL SCHOOL'S SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH CURRICULUM.SIMILARLY, MUCH OF REACH FAR'S PANDEMIC OUTREACH AND EDUCATION HAS BEEN LED BY CHWS, WHO, AS MEMBERS OF THE AFFECTED COMMUNITIES, HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH ACCURATE INFORMATION BY ENGAGING TRUSTED LEADERS, AND MODERATING AND TRANSLATING AT COMMUNITY EVENTS.IN ALL OF ITS HIRING DECISIONS, PARENTCHILD+ HAS INCORPORATED COMMUNITY VOICE, INCLUDING CURRENT AND FORMER FAMILIES. THE PROGRAM IS ALSO IMPLEMENTING A COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR PROGRAM AS A PATHWAY FOR PROGRAM GRADUATES TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND SUPPORT FOR OTHER COMMUNITY PARENTS REGARDING EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND LANGUAGE- AND LITERACY SKILL-BUILDING.PARENTCORPS ESTABLISHED THE SUNSET PARK PARENTCORPS COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD (CAB) IN SEPTEMBER 2020, INCLUDING LEADERS FROM SIX PRE-K PROGRAMS AND ONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE CAB ALSO INCLUDES A RACIALLY, ETHNICALLY, LINGUISTICALLY AND POSITIONALLY DIVERSE TEAM OF SIX INDIVIDUALS FROM NYU'S CENTER FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT, WHO ARE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN MEETINGS AND COLLECTIVELY ASSESSED THE PROCESS AND PROGRESS OF THE CAB. THE CAB MEMBERS HAVE DISCUSSED RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND IN THE COMMUNITY, SHARING THEIR PERSONAL STORIES AS WELL AS INSIGHTS INTO STRUCTURAL RACISM. PARENTCORPS, WHICH HAS WORKED ON ISSUES OF RACIAL EQUITY FOR MANY YEARS, HAS PROVIDED ASSISTANCE TO OTHER CSP PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE GREENLIGHT PROGRAM, THAT ARE DEVELOPING COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARDS, AND HAS SHARED EQUITY TOOLS AND FRAMEWORKS.PROJECT SAFE PEER EDUCATORS PARTICIPATE IN INTERVIEWS OF ALL NEW STAFF HIRES AND ARE INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT, DISSEMINATION, AND REVIEW OF PROGRAM EVALUATION TOOLS. ANNUAL ""DATA DIALOGUES"" ARE USED TO SHARE BACK AND DISCUSS PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND OUTCOME DATA TO TEENS, STAFF, AND OTHER PROGRAM STAKEHOLDERS. THESE DIALOGUES SERVE TO INFORM CONTINUOUS PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT AND ADAPTATION. NOTABLY, PROJECT SAFE STAFF AND YOUTH REVISED THE LANGUAGE IN THE CBPA PRINCIPLES TO MAKE THEM MORE YOUTH-FRIENDLY, AND PROGRAM YOUTH MONITOR HOW EFFECTIVELY THE PROGRAM ADHERES TO THE CBPA/EQUITY PRINCIPLES. TO ENSURE THAT PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS FEEL SAFE AND SUPPORTED, PROJECT SAFE CREATED A HARASSMENT REPORTING FORM AND ADDED QUESTIONS TO THE QUARTERLY EVALUATION FORM TO ASSESS HOW WELCOME AND SAFE YOUTH FEEL EXPRESSING THEIR RACIAL, GENDER, OR SEXUAL IDENTITIES IN THE PROGRAM.CSP INITIATIVES ARE ALSO EDUCATING PROGRAM LEADERSHIP, STAFF AND THEIR COMMUNITIES ABOUT THE HISTORIC ROOTS OF THE INEQUITIES THAT THE PROGRAMS ARE INTENDED TO ADDRESS AND ARE DEVELOPING RESPONSIVE STRATEGIES. FOR EXAMPLE: THE BROOKLYN CONSORTIUM HAS ESTABLISHED A DIVERSITY EQUITY, INCLUSION AND ACCESSIBILITY (DEIA) WORKGROUP WITH THE BRONX HEALTH & HOUSING CONSORTIUM, COMPOSED OF EIGHT REPRESENTATIVES FROM COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. THE WORKGROUP HAS HELPED TO DEVELOP A LEADERSHIP SURVEY TO IDENTIFY STRENGTHS AND EXPERIENCES AMONG BOARD AND STEERING COMMITTEE LEADERSHIP AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR BRINGING NEW VOICES TO THE TABLE. THE WORKGROUP IS PLANNING A DEIA TRAINING AND IS DEVELOPING A PLAN TO SUPPORT POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT ADDRESS THE IMPACT OF STRUCTURAL RACISM ON HEALTH AND HOUSING THROUGH RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY, CROSS-SECTOR RELATIONSHIPS, AND TRAINING.

"(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 122)PARENTCORP PARTNERS WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF STRUCTURAL RACISM AND TO PROMOTE ANTI-RACIST PRACTICES. FOR EXAMPLE, IN ITS PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SESSION FOCUSED ON CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE EDUCATION, PRE-K TEACHERS AND LEADERS ARE GUIDED TO REFLECT ON THEIR OWN IDENTITIES AND BIASES, AND HOW THEY MAY AFFECT THE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT; TO NAVIGATE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE (USING AN ESTABLISHED FRAMEWORK AND TOOLS FROM COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE); TO LEARN STRATEGIES FOR ADDRESSING THEIR DISCOMFORT; AND TO INCORPORATE CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE EDUCATION INTO DAILY CLASSROOM PRACTICE. THE COORDINATING COUNCIL WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSEE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION, WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO FIND POINTS OF SYNERGY ACROSS PROGRAMS AND NEIGHBORHOODS, AND ASSESS PROGRESS AND MAKE MID-COURSE CORRECTIONS. IN ADDITION, EACH PROGRAM COLLECTS DATA ABOUT LEVELS OF PARTICIPATION, PARTICIPANT SATISFACTION, AND IMPACT ON HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. THIS IS DONE THROUGH ATTENDANCE RECORDS, SURVEYS, AND OTHER FORMS OF DATA COLLECTION. ATTACHED AS APPENDIX E IS A TABLE SUMMARIZING GOALS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES, TOGETHER WITH SOURCES OF DATA TO BE USED TO MEASURE OUTCOMES FOR EACH CSP PROJECT. GROWING OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS AND ASSETS ASSESSMENT (CHNAA) AND ALIGNING WITH THE NEW YORK STATE PREVENTION AGENDA AND NEW YORK CITY AND NASSAU COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITIES, THE NYU LANGONE HOSPITALS THREE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (THE COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN, ""CSP"") FOCUSES ON PREVENTING CHRONIC DISEASES BY PROMOTING HEALTHY EATING AND FOOD SECURITY, DECREASING TOBACCO USE AND EXPOSURE TO SECONDHAND SMOKE, ADDRESSING THE INTERSECTION OF HEALTH AND HOUSING, SUPPORTING DISEASE SELF-MANAGEMENT, AND CONNECTING PEOPLE TO RESOURCES THAT ADDRESS SOCIAL AND HEALTH RISK FACTORS. THE PLAN ALSO PROMOTES HEALTHY WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN THROUGH PARENTING PROGRAMS, BY CONNECTING FAMILIES TO NEEDED RESOURCES, AND THROUGH EARLY CHILDHOOD AND TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION PROGRAMS. WE ALSO HAVE AN EMERGING PORTFOLIO OF PROJECTS THAT FOCUS ON PROMOTING A HEALTHY AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT BY REDUCING FALLS AMONG VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN PROGRAMS SPAN MULTIPLE SECTORS: EARLY CHILDHOOD SETTINGS AND SCHOOLS, PRIMARY CARE, HOUSING, AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS, SUCH AS FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS. DRAWING ON ITS EXPERTISE IN DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING EFFECTIVE APPROACHES TO HEALTH PROMOTION AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL, THE DEPARTMENT OF POPULATION HEALTH (DPH) HAS SERVED AS THE ARCHITECT FOR THE CHNAA AND PLAN SINCE 2013. SINCE 2016, DPH AND THE FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS AT NYU LANGONE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER TO DEVELOP A CSP DESIGNED TO CREATE SYNERGIES ACROSS PROGRAMS AND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE COMBINED EXPERTISE OF OUR LARGER INSTITUTION, THE STRONG FOUNDATION OF WORK UNDER BOTH OF OUR PREVIOUS PLANS, AND THE STRENGTHS OF OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS.BEGINNING IN 2022, THE CHNAA AND CSP EXPANDED TO INCLUDE NYU LANGONE HOSPITAL - LONG ISLAND (FORMERLY WINTHROP HOSPITAL), FOCUSED INITIALLY ON BUILDING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AND DEVELOPING PROGRAMS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE HEMPSTEAD COMMUNITY. THROUGH ITS COMMUNITY SERVICE PLAN, NYULH BRINGS TO BEAR A WIDE RANGE OF EXPERTISE: IN HEALTHY EATING AND OBESITY PREVENTION, HEALTH LITERACY, PARENTING, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, SMOKING CESSATION, PREVENTION SCIENCE, AND POPULATION HEALTH. THE PROGRAMS AND PRIORITIES REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH NYULH PRIOR YEARS' COMMUNITY SERVICE PLANS, BUT UNDER THE CURRENT CSP, EXISTING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN EXTENDED AND NEW INITIATIVES ADDED. THE CSP'S GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE INCLUDES THE LOWER EAST SIDE AND CHINATOWN IN MANHATTAN, AND SUNSET PARK AND RED HOOK IN BROOKLYN; WE RECENTLY ALSO COMPLETED AN INITIAL NEEDS AND ASSETS ASSESSMENT IN HEMPSTEAD IN NASSAU COUNTY AND ARE BEGINNING TO IMPLEMENT CSP PROGRAMS THERE AS WELL.PRIORITY AREAS OF FOCUS PREVENTING CHRONIC DISEASESTHE HEALTHY FOOD INITIATIVE ADDRESSES FOOD SECURITY AND HEALTHY FOOD AVAILABILITY IN SUNSET PARK, BROOKLYN AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES THROUGH EVIDENCE-INFORMED INTERVENTIONS FOCUSED ON EMERGENCY FOOD ACCESS, SCREENING AND CASE MANAGEMENT, COMMUNITY EDUCATION, AND A COMMUNITY-WIDE COALITION OF FOOD SYSTEMS STAKEHOLDERS.GREENLIGHT, AN EARLY CHILDHOOD OBESITY PREVENTION PROGRAM TO IMPROVE HEALTH LITERACY AND FOSTER HEALTHFUL DIET- AND ACTIVITY-RELATED BEHAVIOR, IS BEING ADAPTED AND IMPLEMENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CHARLES B. WANG COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER AND THE SEVENTH AVENUE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER AT NYU LANGONE IN SUNSET PARK. IN THE NEXT CSP CYCLE, IT WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE SUNSET PARK FAMILY HEALTH CENTER AT NYU LANGONE, AS WELL AS THE NYULH PEDIATRIC PRACTICE IN HEMPSTEAD, LONG ISLAND. RACIAL AND ETHNIC APPROACHES TO COMMUNITY HEALTH FOR ASIAN AND ARAB AMERICANS (REACH FAR), AN EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM DESIGNED TO PREVENT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE BY INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOODS AND PROVIDING CULTURALLY TAILORED HEALTH COACHING AND MESSAGES, IS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN MOSQUES ON THE LOWER EAST SIDE, MANHATTAN AND IN SUNSET PARK AND KENSINGTON, BROOKLYN.TOBACCO FREE COMMUNITY INCLUDES AN ARRAY OF PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS HIGH SMOKING RATES AMONG IMMIGRANT POPULATIONS, PARTICULARLY ASIAN AMERICAN MEN: A COMMUNITY NAVIGATOR PROGRAM; A CITYWIDE COALITION THAT IS ADDRESSING TOBACCO-RELATED POLICIES, FACILITATING ACCESS TO SMOKING CESSATION TREATMENT AND DEVELOPING A REPOSITORY OF RESOURCES; AND A PROGRAM TO EDUCATE YOUTH ABOUT E-CIGARETTES. THESE PROGRAMS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ASIAN AMERICANS FOR EQUALITY, THE CHARLES B. WANG COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER, THE CHINESE AMERICAN PLANNING COUNCIL, THE NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, AND THE NYC DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE - TOBACCO POLICY AND PROGRAM.

"(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 117)A TOTAL OF 511 ARAB AMERICAN ADULTS LIVING IN BROOKLYN RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY. MOST PARTICIPANTS WERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 25-64 YEARS (69%), FEMALE (60%), AND RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY IN ARABIC (58%). RESPONDENTS WERE BORN IN A VARIETY OF COUNTRIES, INCLUDING YEMEN (25%), MOROCCO (24%), EGYPT (14%), UNITED STATES (11%), PALESTINE (7%) AND SYRIA (7%). ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME WAS LESS THAN $25,000 FOR 45% OF PARTICIPANTS. DIABETES, CANCER, HEART DISEASE, OBESITY AND MENTAL HEALTH WERE SELECTED BY PARTICIPANTS AS THE MOST COMMON HEALTH ISSUES FACING THE BROOKLYN ARAB AMERICAN COMMUNITY. THESE ISSUES ALIGN WITH PREVALENT HEALTH CONDITIONS IDENTIFIED IN THIS SURVEY. FOR EXAMPLE, DIABETES WAS MORE COMMON AMONG ARAB AMERICAN ADULTS IN THIS SURVEY (16%) THAN AMONG ADULTS IN NEW YORK CITY (11%); A PATTERN SIMILAR TO A STUDY CONDUCTED IN MICHIGAN. RISK FACTORS FOR HEART DISEASE, LIKE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL WERE ALSO COMMON AMONG SURVEY PARTICIPANTS (25% AND 26%, RESPECTIVELY). AMONG PARTICIPANTS WHO REPORTED A HEIGHT AND WEIGHT, ABOUT 24% WERE OBESE. ABOUT 20% OF ADULTS IN THE SURVEY WERE AT RISK FOR CURRENT DEPRESSION.AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ACCESS TO QUALITY MEDICAL CARE WERE SELECTED BY PARTICIPANTS AS THE MOST COMMON RESOURCES NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE HEALTH OF THE BROOKLYN ARAB AMERICAN COMMUNITY. THESE RESOURCE NEEDS ALSO ALIGN WITH CONDITIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE SURVEY. FOR EXAMPLE, ABOUT 20% OF PARTICIPANTS REPORTED NOT HAVING ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THEIR RENT/MORTGAGE. THIS PERCENTAGE IS LIKELY EVEN HIGHER NOW, AS THE IMPACTS OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND HIGHER COST OF LIVING DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC CONTINUE TO BE FELT. WHILE 95% OF PARTICIPANTS REPORTED HAVING HEALTH INSURANCE, ABOUT 28% OF PARTICIPANTS REPORTED NOT BEING ABLE TO GET NEEDED MEDICAL CARE IN THE PAST YEAR-MORE THAN TWICE THE PERCENT OF ADULTS IN NEW YORK CITY OVERALL. AMONG THOSE WHO COULD NOT GET NEEDED CARE, TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS AND COST WERE THE MOST COMMON BARRIERS NOTED. CANCER WAS A MAIN HEALTH CONCERN NOTED, AND TIMELY CANCER SCREENING WAS FOUND TO BE LOWER AMONG BROOKLYN ARAB AMERICAN PARTICIPANTS THAN NEW YORK CITY ADULTS OVERALL. ABOUT 44% OF PARTICIPANTS AGED 45 YEARS OR OLDER HAD A TIMELY COLON CANCER SCREENING TEST, COMPARED TO ABOUT 69% OF ADULTS AGE 50 YEARS OR OLDER CITYWIDE. ABOUT 66% OF FEMALE PARTICIPANTS AGES 45 YEARS OR OLDER HAD A TIMELY BREAST CANCER SCREENING (MAMMOGRAM), COMPARED TO ABOUT 76% OF WOMEN AGES 40 YEARS OR OLDER CITYWIDE. ABOUT 52% OF FEMALE PARTICIPANTS HAD A TIMELY CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING TEST, COMPARED TO ABOUT 85% OF WOMEN CITYWIDE.
