CMO Update, Spring 2021
CMO A PUBLICATION FOR TBHC PHYSICIANSUPDATE AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS SPRING 2021 A Message from Dr. Kondamudi – Vasantha Kondamudi, MD, Chief Medical Officer In our last fall issue, I looked back on the COVID spring surge, how our clinicians and all of TBHC stepped up to the challenges, and the lessons we learned. This issue, I am so relieved and happy to report that I’m focusing on the future. And the future means the COVID-19 vaccine. Most of you know that the Pfizer vaccine (what TBHC is administering) is 95% effective after two doses and has gotten high marks for safety. You can access the Pfizer published trial at: https:// www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577 We also now have the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Join these physicians below, just some of many who got vaccinated. Pratibha “Prat” Vemulapalli, MD, Sylvie de Souza, MD, Chair, Chair, Surgery Leonard Berkowitz, MD, Chief, Infectious Diseases Emergency Medicine Nabil Mesiha, MD, Attending, Pulmonary Sumeet Bahl, MD, Attending, Vascular and Interventional Radiology Introducing The Brooklyn Cancer Center New York Cancer & Blood Specialists (NYCBS), one of the leading oncology practices in the nation, has partnered with The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC), to create a new comprehensive cancer care program, The Brooklyn Cancer Center. NYCBS is a leading practice in the national OneOncology partnership, the network of independent community oncology practices. With access to OneOncology technology, integration support and capital, NYCBS provides access to cutting-edge oncology care, including clinical trial research across Brooklyn. A new facility is planned for the end of 2021, but the community does not have to wait for the excellent care this partnership provides.

TOTALLY BOGUS a Study of Parking Permit Abuse in NYC
TOTALLY BOGUS A Study of Parking Permit Abuse in NYC *Permits above depict a ratio of city-wide permit use: 43 percent permits used legally vs. 57 percent used illegally contents 3-4 ExecutivE SUmmArY 5-6 PUrpose ANd mEThOdology 6 DetaiLEd CitywidE Results 7 dOwntowN BrOOklyn 8 CiviC CENTEr, mANhattan 9 JAmAica, QUEENS 10 ConcourSE village, ThE BrONx 11 ST.

The number of parking permits was slashed by 46 percent, to 78,000 permits. By handing out fewer parking passes each year, the City is encouraging more civil servants to ride public transit, easing traffic congestion while freeing up parking spots for others. Despite the reduction in city-issued parking permits, the system remains broken. Each step in the process—from creation of the permits, to distribution and enforcement—is fatally flawed, creating a system wrought with abuse and lacking effective oversight. In the present study, researchers at Transportation Alternatives canvassed five New York City neighborhoods and found that a majority of permit holders—57 percent—were either agency permits used to park illegally—double-parking or ditching their cars on sidewalks and bus lanes, or totally bogus permits. The study found that 24 percent of permits on display were illicitly photocopied, fraudulent or otherwise invalid. Clearly, further reform is needed. Modernizing New York City’s two-tiered parking system can help local businesses by freeing up space for customers and deliveries.
