Community Healthcare Network Dispatched Medical Mobile Van to Rockaways to Assist Families in Need After Hurricane Sandy

In response to the ongoing power outage affecting the region, Community Healthcare Network dispatched its Medical Mobile Van to the Rockaways to provide medical services for two weeks in November.

Finding that there were residents with chronic health problems – like diabetes and hypertension – who were running low on their medications and were unable to purchase refills in the area due to closed or out-of-stock pharmacies, staff distributed medications and worked with other pharmacies to supply Rockaway residents the medications they needed.

CHN’s van travels to areas that do not have ready access to health services, and was also stationed on the Lower East Side, where power had been out after the Hurricane.

The Medical Mobile Van usually makes regular visits to schools and community organizations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, providing pediatric, adult, and adolescent medicine, and family planning services to patients.

NYC Council Members Greet Community Members at CHN’s Free Mammography Screening Event in Brooklyn

New York City Council Members Dr. Mathieu Eugene and Jumaane D. Williams joined CHN and Project Renewal at a mammography screening event on December 19^th at CHN’s Caribbean House Health Center in Brooklyn.

At the event, the Council Members greeted visitors, distributed breast health education materials, and engaged women to talk about the importance of breast cancer prevention and breast health. Screenings were performed by Project Renewal, a nonprofit organization which provides health and human services to homeless men and women in New York City, and were available to women ages 40 and over.

Early detection of breast cancer saves many thousands of lives each year, and many more lives could be saved if women and their health care providers took advantage of such tests. Throughout its 11 facilities, CHN offers this critical service for free to members of underserved communities who often have little or no access to healthcare.
