NANCY CAMPBELL NANCY CAMPBELL: Can you tell me how you got to the University of Geneva for medical school? BP: In 1950 I finished college at West Virginia State College, which is now West Virginia State University. I was a member of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, ROTC, during the Korean War. I was a premed, biological science, and German major, and I knew I was going to get drafted. I even stayed an extra year to finish ROTC because I had transferred to West Virginia State College from another school. You had to be there four years to do ROTC. Although I was premed, my degree was a bachelor of NANCY CAMPBELL/ADDICTION RESEARCH/BENY PRIMM Page 2 of 56 science in education. I could either go into teaching and be a coach, because I was a basketball player, or I could end up going into the service.

  • Queens County Assessment
    Northwell Health 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment: Queens County Assessment Encompassing the following Northwell Health Hospital: Long Island Jewish Forest Hills 1 Queens County Health Indicator Status Since 2016 CHNA The 2016-2019 Implementation Plan activities have had an impact in improving and meeting New York State Prevention Agenda Objectives that were related to health disparities, chronic disease, safe environments, maternal child health, STD/HIV, vaccine preventable diseases, healthcare-associated infections and behavioral health as shown below. Since 2018, Northwell Health has delivered over 13,000 community health programs and over 22,000 health screenings. Examples of interventions that helped achieved these goals include robust chronic disease and cancer screening programs; implementation of culturally relevant evidence-based chronic disease self-management education; prevention of childhood obesity through school- based projects as well as promotion of policies and practices in support of breastfeeding; creation of community environments that promote and support healthy food and beverage choices and physical activity; elimination of exposure to secondhand smoke and prevention of the initiation of tobacco use by youth, especially among low socioeconomic status (SES) populations and the promotion of tobacco cessation, especially among low SES populations and those with poor mental health; and strengthened infrastructure to promote mental, emotional and behavioral wellbeing. However, the burden of health disparities, chronic disease, obesity and behavioral health issues is still present as demonstrated below by the indicators that have not met the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Prevention Agenda Objectives and/or have worsened indicating the need to continue to primarily address the 2019-2024 priority agenda items of Prevent Chronic Disease and Promote Well Being and Prevent Mental and Substance Use Disorders as well as including strategies that can improve other priority areas as well.

One hot spot: the campus of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, where outpatients who receive treatment or live in community residences on campus are responsible for an outsize number of ER visits. Most frequently they are taken to Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks and Long Island Jewish Medical Center, a partner in Nassau Queens PPS, in New Hyde Park. To tackle the problem, Nassau Queens PPS, the DSRIP network led by Nassau University Medical Center, Catholic Health Services of Long Island and Northwell Health's LIJ, created a Local Emergency Assistance and Diversion team in July to intervene when an individual on the campus was in crisis. The program has made 211 visits to client from July to January 2018, and in 205 cases it was able to de-escalate the situation without a trip to the emergency room.

I also want to extend my congratulations to all the awardees at NYC REMSCO’s EMS Week event. Another couple of months have come and gone and our comments on the proposed contract for volunteer participation in the NYC 911 System are still being considered by FDNY and its legal staff. This is pretty much the same response FDNY has provided over the last 15 years when agreements and contracts are discussed. From 1994 through 2003 there was back and forth about revision/update of the Mutual Aid Response System (MARS) agreement. After that, it was the 911 Pilot Agreement. In 2009, facilitated by NYC REMSCO, work began on a more formal agreement for Community Based EMS providers. Same idea – volunteer agencies helping with 911 calls – and same response – delay! However, times have changed somewhat with the city’s budget and our NYC Council representatives taking an interest in overall 911 ambulance response times approaching 9 minutes in a number of months this past year.
