NYPH is the nation’s only hospital affiliated with two world-class medical schools, Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. Its 47,000 employees and affiliated physicians are dedicated to providing the highest quality, most compassionate care to New Yorkers and patients from across the country and around the world. NYPH provides more than $1 billion in benefits every year to the community. NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is comprised of seven campuses located mainly within New York City. NYPH is part of NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP), one of the nation’s most comprehensive and integrated academic healthcare delivery systems. Founded nearly 250 years ago with the fundamental belief that every person deserves access to the very best care, NYP now includes NYPH with its seven campuses, the three Regional Hospitals consisting of NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, and NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital, as well as more than 200 primary and specialty care clinics and medical groups, and an array of telemedicine services. NYPH and each of the Regional Hospitals conduct their own community health needs assessment and develop independent community service plans. 4 NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital CHNA Executive Summary Purpose: NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP) is deeply committed to the communities residing in the boroughs of New York City, Westchester County, and the surrounding areas. NYP delivers a range of innovative programs and services intended to educate and provide resources to prevent illness, maintain health, and improve the overall well-being of the community. NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) has completed this Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) in order to update its understanding of the needs of local community members and the conditions that influence their well-being, and to assemble a three-year plan to enhance community health in areas identified as high disparity neighborhoods. Governance and Engagement: The Division of Community & Population Health and the Office of Government & Community Relations partnered to develop an enterprise-wide CHNA process to promote community awareness and hospital alignment in order to maximize the impact to those who need it most. A Steering Committee comprised of NYP leadership, which included representation from NYPH, and campus leadership was key to providing insight, guidance, and making decisions that impacted the completion of the CHNA. 5 NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital CHNA Executive Summary Process: NYPH obtained broad community input regarding local health needs 2019 – 2021 Community Focus & Planning including the needs of medically underserved and low-income populations. Data collection included quantitative data for demographics, socioeconomic status, health, and social determinants as well as qualitative data from community questionnaires and focus groups which were analyzed to identify high disparity communities and a prioritization process ensuring integration with the Priority Areas of the 2019-2024 NYS Prevention Agenda. Premier, Inc. was engaged to partner with the NYPH team to complete the CHNA utilizing a transparent and collaborative manner. New York Prevention Agenda 2019-2024: Vision: New York is the Healthiest State for People of all Ages Priority Areas: 1. Prevent Chronic Diseases 2. Promote a Healthy and Safe Environment 3. Promote Healthy Women, Infants and Children 4. Promote Well-being and Prevent Mental and Substance Use Disorders 5. Prevent Communicable Diseases 6 NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital CHNA Executive Summary Prioritization Method: Socioeconomic Factors Premier, Inc. customized a prioritization model that utilized an approach inclusive of the Hanlon Method technique to quantify and compare indicators and identify significant community needs. The top quartile high disparity neighborhood data sets inclusive of social determinants of health, health outcomes, access, and utilization were Physical Environment analyzed to ensure a dynamic model for NYP. The model also included qualitative data sets to allow the voice of the community to play into the top priorities. Representatives from NYPH hospitals, NYP, Community Advisory Boards, and clinical and operational leadership participated throughout Health Behaviors the process. Community Health Think Tanks provided opportunities for participants to review summaries of quantitative and qualitative data in order to rank the top health issues.

What are important to this work are the contributions and influence of nightlife subculture to greater New York City history through fashion, music, and art. I intend to prove that, in combination with the city’s gradual revanchism of neighborhood properties, the self-destructive nature of this after-hours sector has led to its own demise.

  • Dice: Deep Significance Clustering
    DICE: DEEP SIGNIFICANCE CLUSTERING FOR OUTCOME-AWARE STRATIFICATION Yufang Huang Kelly M. Axsom John Lee Cornell University Columbia University Irving Medical Center Weill Cornell Medicine [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Lakshminarayanan Subramanian Yiye Zhang New York University Cornell University [email protected] [email protected] January 8, 2021 ABSTRACT We present deep significance clustering (DICE), a framework for jointly performing representation learning and clustering for “outcome-aware” stratification. DICE is intended to generate cluster membership that may be used to categorize a population by individual risk level for a targeted outcome. Following the representation learning and clustering steps, we embed the objective function in DICE with a constraint which requires a statistically significant association between the outcome and cluster membership of learned representations. DICE further includes a neural architecture search step to maximize both the likelihood of representation learning and outcome classification accuracy with cluster membership as the predictor. To demonstrate its utility in medicine for patient risk-stratification, the performance of DICE was evaluated using two datasets with different outcome ratios extracted from real-world electronic health records. Outcomes are defined as acute kidney injury (30.4%) among a cohort of COVID-19 patients, and discharge disposition (36.8%) among a cohort of heart failure patients, respectively. Extensive results demonstrate that

  • Cancer Basics for the Caregiver It Is Common to Make Many Assumptions When You Hear the Word “Cancer.” Cancer Is Not One Disease, but Rather a Family of Diseases
    Caregiver’s Guide Types of Caregiving Caregiving can range from 24/7 hands-on assistance to driving someone to appointments to long-distance caregiving. Every situation is different. Your loved one has cancer and you want to help. At first, it all seems overwhelming. Everything that you took for granted is suddenly uncertain. Many caregivers are naturally worried about the person with cancer, and also worried about the rest of life—taking care of other family members, paying the bills, maintaining the house, and so much more. It’s important to realize two things: 1) You’re not alone— many other people have been in this situation before, and 2) there are resources available to help. We’ve prepared this booklet to guide and assist you. Much depends on the needs of the patient, your What’s essential is to understand that the role of the relationship with the patient, and practical matters loved one is to support and comfort, not to “fix” the such as where you live. problem.

Opposite page: Scenes from the “virtual 5K.” And they did it all online. For the first time since World War II, Reunion wasn’t held far above Cayuga’s waters. Following the University’s transition to remote instruction and the postponement of Commencement due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alumni Affairs announced in late March that this year’s gathering would be virtual. “Initially there was some skepticism, particularly from those who had experienced an in-person Reunion,” notes Kate Freyer, director of Reunion and volunteer engage­ ment events. “It was hard to imagine those connections feeling the same way over a screen.” But by the end of the weekend, she says, the feedback was overwhelm­ ingly positive—and thanks to the virtual format, many alumni who wouldn’t have been able to travel to Ithaca for logistical or health reasons were able to participate. “While Cornellians certainly missed campus, I think this experience opened a lot of people’s eyes to the idea that connecting isn’t just in a place,” Freyer says.
