Assisting residents in need is an important aspect in creating “One Brooklyn,” and the purpose of this booklet is to raise awareness of much-needed services that New York provides. In addition to this guide, Women’s City Club of New York has created a city-wide directory database online for Brooklyn residents to search for social services, health, education, and employment services. On behalf of our 2.6 million Brooklynites, I would like to thank Women’s City Club of New York for working in conjunction with my office to compile this excellent free services guide. I urge our residents to take advantage of all it has to offer. Eric L.

  • 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.

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.
