  • 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment Survey
    COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2019 To all New Yorkers: As New York City’s public health care system, our goal is to empower you to live your healthiest life. Clinical care starts with you and your health care team, but we recognize that many factors impact your health beyond medical care alone – a safe home environment, space to be physically active, access to fresh food, even exposure to daily stress and poor social well-being can impact your health outcomes. To assess and prioritize the greatest health needs of the neighborhoods and communities we serve, NYC Health + Hospitals conducted a comprehensive and inclusive process to complete this Community Health Needs Assessment for 2019. The findings represent the voices of the patients we serve, clinical experts and community partners, and are backed by quantitative data analysis. Recognizing that the health needs of patients coming through our hospital doors may not represent the wider health needs of the community, we embarked on an extensive stakeholder engagement process led by OneCity Health, who built new relationships with community stakeholders through the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program. For the first time, we conducted a system-wide assessment to identify priorities that need to be addressed city-wide and will allow us to maximize our resources in response. We believe that we should reliably deliver high-quality services and that patients should have a consistent experience at our facilities. Since our 2016 assessment, we have worked tirelessly to address significant health needs of the community and to make it easier for our patients to access our services: • We opened and renovated dozens of community-based health centers to expand access to primary and preventive care.

    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTOF PARKS BOROUGH OF THE BRONX CITY OF NEW YORK JOSEPH P. HENNESSY, Commissioner HERALD SQUARE PRESS NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF PARKS BOROUGH OF 'I'HE BRONX January 30, 1922. Hon. John F. Hylan, Mayor, City of New York. Sir : I submit herewith annual report of the Department of Parks, Borough of The Bronx, for 1921. Respect fully, ANNUAL REPORT-1921 In submitting to your Honor the report of the operations of this depart- ment for 1921, the last year of the first term of your administration, it will . not be out of place to review or refer briefly to some of the most important things accomplished by this department, or that this department was asso- ciated with during the past 4 years. The very first problem presented involved matters connected with the appropriation for temporary use to the Navy Department of 225 acres in Pelham Bay Park for a Naval Station for war purposes, in addition to the 235 acres for which a permit was given late in 1917. A total of 481 one- story buildings of various kinds were erected during 1918, equipped with heating and lighting systems. This camp contained at one time as many as 20,000 men, who came and went constantly. AH roads leading to the camp were park roads and in view of the heavy trucking had to be constantly under inspection and repair. The Navy De- partment took over the pedestrian walk from City Island Bridge to City Island Road, but constructed another cement walk 12 feet wide and 5,500 feet long, at the request of this department, at an expenditure of $20,000.

  • Staten Island
    Staten Island Waterfront History By Carlotta DeFillo taten Island has 35 miles of waterfront. It is bordered by Newark Bay and the Kill van Kull on the north, Upper New York Bay, the Narrows, S Lower New York Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Raritan Bay on the south and the Arthur Kill or Staten Island Sound on the west. Several smaller islands sit offshore. Shooters Island near Mariners Harbor was home to Standard Shipbuilding Corp. and Prall’s Island is a bird sanctuary. Off South Beach lie the man-made Hoffman and Swinburne Islands. These two islands were built for use as the quarantine station in 1872, and abandoned in 1933. During World War II they were used for military training, only to be aban- doned again at war’s end. The earliest inhabitants of Staten Island were Algonkian-speaking Native Americans who set up camps along the shores in the areas of Tottenville, Prince’s Bay, Great Kills, Arrochar, Stapleton, West New Brighton, Mariners Harbor and Fresh Kills. They harvested berries, fi sh, oysters and clams, and even ran the Island’s earliest ferries. The fi rst Europeans set foot on Staten Island in Tompkinsville at the Watering Place, a spring of fresh water near the shore, before 1623. The earliest public ferry was in operation in Stapleton by 1708, and by the 1770s ten ferry lines connected Staten Island to New Jersey, Manhattan and Brooklyn. The best-known Island ferryman was Cornelius Vanderbilt, who started an empire from his single sailboat ferry, starting in 1810.

This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.
