    BIENNIAL REPORT 20I5 & 20I6 Letter from our that promise to address the critical link between health Founders care and school success. From Hurricane Katrina to the Flint Lead Crisis, our mobile clinics have responded to disasters affecting thousands of children. Through our unique relationship with Columbia University’s renowned National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP), CHF has garnered the information, guidelines and programs to ensure that young people are protected before and during disasters, and are able to successfully return to normal life. And, year after year, we have been crusaders on Capitol Hill and in state and local governments, tireless in our defense of programs and policies that empower the most vulnerable in our society to access the life-changing health care they deserve. Our idea has grown and flourished thanks to our phenomenal staff, and to our countless supporters and partners - many of whom are acknowledged in this report. We are grateful for all they have done to make our mission their own. As we enter our 30th year, we are excited to announce that Dennis Walto will be at the helm as our new Chief Executive Officer. Dennis first worked with us soon after ometimes an idea can change the world. Around we founded CHF, and twenty-five years later, we were 30 years ago, we had such an idea.

The expression once reserved for the techni- T cal meaning of the word—a ‘‘one in a million’’ disaster—has recently been brought to the forefront by several large natural events that have occurred in the past 5 years, namely Hurricane Katrina in the United States and the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004. These two disasters, as well as the terrorist attacks of September 2001 in the United States have directed a persistent spotlight on the systems by which the public and its government plan for, respond to, and recover from high-impact catastrophes. From the beginnings of human society, both nature and our own species have found ways to traumatically disrupt the status quo. Despite the many ca- tastrophes in our history, the term disaster has been difficult to define. Most def- initions include some reference to the event’s impact on people, the economy, or the environment. More theoretically, a disaster can be seen as a complex function of risk and vulnerability. As an example, the magnitude of a hurricane disaster is not as simple as the force of the hurricane itself upon a community but rather a sum of those forces (eg, storm-force winds) plus the special vulner- abilities faced by the community (eg, levee failure) plus the community’s capac- ity to reduce the actual or potential negative consequences of risk (eg, an inability to evacuate citizens).

  • Gothamist NY Health Officials Caught Off Guard by New Childhood
    In late April, New York City's health department officials became aware of a disturbing new public health threat: an illness affecting children that was being linked to coronavirus and known to have caused at least one child's death in the United Kingdom. Described in an alert by England's National Health services as a "multisystem inflammatory state," patients were said to have required intensive care, exhibiting symptoms of both toxic shock syndrome, a rare complication resulting from a bacterial infection, and Kawasaki disease, an illness that causes inflammation of the blood vessels. At the time, the city had not received any reports about such cases, according to Ellen Lee, a medical director in the division of disease control for the city's Health Department. Nor, she added, had health officials noticed any similar alerts in the U.S. on public health listservs. "The public health community learned about it at the same time that it was hitting mainstream media," Lee said, in a telephone interview on Sunday. On April 29th, two days after the U.K. alert, city health officials began the process of making calls, reaching out to all hospitals that had more than five ICU beds for pediatric patients. Then, on May 1st, the city included the information about reports of pediatric cases in the U.K., Italy and some U.S. cities during one of its routine coronavirus webinars, which is attended by roughly 600 to 700 local health providers. Through the health department's initial outreach, city officials learned that there were nine cases of pediatric patients in New York City showing symptoms of Kawasaki disease.

  • Gov Cuomo Letter Final
    February 27, 2013 The Honorable Andrew Cuomo Governor of New York State New York State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo, We, the undersigned medical professionals, elected officials, organizations, and concerned New Yorkers, write to thank you. We support your decision to allow rule-making deadlines to lapse in order to grant Department of Health (DOH) Commissioner Nirav Shah additional time to continue the Health Review of the Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS) for High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing (HVHF). As DOH Commissioner Shah emphasizes in his recent letter to DEC Commissioner Joseph Martens, understanding the potential impact of HVHF on public health involves answering complex questions. We therefore applaud you for not rushing the DOH through this essential process in order to meet an arbitrary deadline. In particular, we agree with DOH Commissioner Shah’s assertion, as expressed in his February 12 communiqué to DEC Commissioner Martens, that “the time to ensure the impacts on public health are considered is before a state permits drilling.” On February 13, you were quoted as saying that the decision on HVHF is “too important to make a mistake.” We agree. We look no farther than our southern border to see the terrible results of moving ahead with HVHF without properly considering the public health consequences from a range of drilling- related impacts. These impacts include 24/7 noise pollution; vehicular accidents; diesel exhaust; well casing/cement failures; direct contamination of wells with methane from deep-level fracture zones; hazardous air pollutants from venting and flaring operations; chemical spills; improper disposal of radioactive waste water; silica dust; stream sedimentation; and, of course, climate- altering methane emissions to air.

    81---------- System-based Mobile Primary Pediatric Care for Homeless Children: The Anatomy of a Working Program IRWIN REDLENER, MO, AND KAREN B. REDLENERi' The New York Children's Health Project (NYCHP) of the Montefiore Medical Center-Albert Einstein College of Medicine has been providing comprehensive health services to homeless and medically underserved children since 1987. Fully equipped mobile child health offices have been the major mechanism for bringing pediatrician-led teams to places that are convenient for and accessible to underserved children and their families. The program was initiated in November 1987. Through De­ cember 1993, the NYCHP has provided care to 18,296 children at 79,695 program encounters. Additionally, 4,872 specialty referrals have been made for these patients (Table). The · target patient popUlation of the NYCHP ranges from 0 through 21 years of age.

  • Protecting Americans from Infectious Diseases2015
    ISSUE REPORT Embargoed until 10:00 am ET on December 17 Outbreaks: PROTECTING AMERICANS FROM INFECTIOUS DISEASES2015 ealthcare workers in West Africa report that some personnel are able to wear Htheir PPE for only 40 minutes at a time because of high temperatures and humid conditions. Even in the United States, where management of patients with Ebola is done in air-conditioned environments, uncomfortable PPE is a common complaint and causes a burden for healthcare workers. In September 2014, President Obama announced a “Grand Challenge” to design improved PPE for use by healthcare workers during treatment of Ebola patients. CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is partnering with other U.S. agencies on the “Fighting Ebola: A Grand Challenge for Development” to help healthcare workers on the front lines provide better care and stop the spread of Ebola. The USAID-led Grand Challenge includes developing, testing, and improving PPE to address issues of protection, heat stress, and comfort for healthcare workers. NIOSH conducts research that supports the epidemic response and the Grand Challenge and is working closely with federal partners on the Grand Challenge, including (but not limited to) participating in crowdsourcing events to promote innovation, reviewing promising ideas that can be scaled to the field, and setting performance, test, and evaluation requirements.

  • Leadership and Decision-Making in Pandemics COVID-19 Is Disrupting
    Leadership and Decision-Making in Pandemics COVID-19 is disrupting the way we work, live and spend our leisure time. As a country, the United States of America responded poorly to the outbreak. Other countries, like South Korea, South Africa and New Zealand responded well, as did certain US states and cities at different stages of the unfolding pandemic. In response, we have adjusted our individual habits of health and behavior, and have begun to make changes to the design of our economic and social institutions. Some of these changes will be temporary, others more durable. Many actors are using the pandemic to make changes they wanted to make all along but lacked the opportunity. As we recover from COVID-19 we must bring the lessons of failure and the ingredients of success to the next pandemic that will inevitably hit us. Lesson-learning rarely happens automatically. It takes leadership and deliberate decisions to figure out what needs to be done, how to manage a process of change and at what scale to finance it. With leading-edge lectures, experienced guest speakers with international experience, and a power- ful desktop exercise in pandemic response, we will delve into the issues and equip participants with the decision- making tools they can use as leaders of institutions in the spheres in which they operate. We are excited to bring you this course. Course Schedule • Monday, June 8th – History and Dynamics of Modern Pandemics • Tuesday, June 9th – US Response to COVID-19 • Wednesday, June 10th – Governance of Pandemics • Thursday, June 11th – Don’t Snap Back to Old Ways – Building Innovation into Recovery • Friday, June 12th – Desktop Exercise Monday, June 8, 2020 History and Dynamics of Modern Pandemics Session Description: In the midst of COVID-19 there are many valuable lessons to be learned from past epidemics and pandemics.
