City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Committee Meeting 4/05/2023
B
Well,
good
morning,
everyone
welcome
to
the
April
5th
2023
meeting
of
the
health
and
wellness
advisory
committee
for
the
City
of
Charleston.
This
is
the
first
day
of
Passover
which
begins
at
sundown
tonight.
So
I
want
to
wish
our
Jewish
friends
a
Happy
Passover
Holy
Wednesday
for
our
Christian
friends
and
I
know.
Many
of
us
are
looking
forward
to
Easter.
You
know
on
Sunday.
B
It
was
busy
weekend
this
past
weekend,
I'd
like
to
thank
Paul,
Wieters
and
all
of
our
city
employees,
as
well
as
all
the
volunteers
who
put
so
much
work
into
the
Cooper
River
Bridge
Run,
making
it
a
world-class
event.
Again.
This
year,
I
participated
and
I
heard
from
several
people
on
how
great
of
an
event
it
was.
B
Of
course,
we've
got
the
Credit
One
Charleston
tennis
tournament
happening
this
week,
which
is
another
incredible
event
in
our
city
facilities
that
I
hope
you'll
take
advantage
of
this
week
and
it's
National
Public
Health
week
and
Paul
forwarded
some
information
from
Dr
Katie
Richardson
about
some
presentations.
You
may
want
to
join
this
week
and
she'll
probably
speak
more
about
that
later
in
the
meeting
Paul
also
emailed
us.
B
Some
news
and
announcements
from
the
office
of
the
assistant
secretary
for
health,
including
some
actions
of
Biden
Administration,
has
taken
to
make
Narcan
more
accessible,
as
well
as
information
on
National
minority
health
month
National
Youth
HIV
and
AIDS
Awareness
Day
National
Environmental
Education
week,
National
infant
immunization
week
and
World
Health
day
and
Earth
Day.
So
if
you
haven't
seen
that
email,
you
take
a
look.
B
Opposed
so
the
meeting
of
March
1st
minutes
have
been
approved
so
now
next
on
our
agenda,
I'm
going
to
call
on
item
number
three,
the
Tri-County
Community
Health
needs
assessment.
2022.
We
have
our
director
of
diversity,
inclusion
and
Health
Equity
from
Roper
St
Francis,
Health
Care
and
former
director
of
Health
at
Trident
United
Way
in
Charleston,
Renee,
linard,
Gary,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you.
Please
thank
you.
E
But
as
as
you
all
heard
in
the
introduction,
we
have
recently
completed
our
Tri-County
Health
landscape,
which
is
our
2022
Community
Health
needs
assessment.
It
is
a
data
collection
that
we
take
from
the
community
from
our
communities,
both
in
Berkeley,
Charleston
and
Dorchester
counties,
and
a
good
bit
of
that
of
today's
time
will
be
spent
to
make
sure
that
we
give
you
an
introduction.
An
overview
of
healthy
Tri-County
programming
that
has
been
in
our
community
under
our
Collective
impact
strategy
here
in
the
region
has
done.
E
Try
to
United
Way
has
been
that
backbone
organization
in
partnership
with
the
two
Health
Care
Systems
that
you
see
listed
here,
and
what
we
have
learned
in
this
time
that
we
were
in
you
at
dual
pandemics
is
that
it
is
a
collective.
It
takes
us
all.
As
we
were
going
through,
uncertain
and
unprecedented
times.
E
That
group
also
helped
move
the
work
in
2016
and
2019,
and
that
has
been
a
promising
practice
under
healthy
Tri-County
keeping
this
work
group
together,
and
then
we
also
added
having
a
Health
Data
resource
Hub.
So
not
not
only
do
we
provide
the
data
collection
information
and
what
the
top
priorities
are,
but
also
aligning
resources
to
those
top
priorities
identified
every
three
years
through
our
community
health
needs
assessment
process.
E
We
also
have
our
health
Improvement
plan
work,
Group,
which
is
responsible
for
the
implementation,
Asian
and
monitoring
of
a
five-year
plan
that
we
came
together
to
develop
with
the
community
with
multiple
stakeholders
from
different
sectors
at
the
tables
to
develop.
What
are
our
top
priorities?
What
are
the
recommendation?
What
are
indicators
of
success
and
how
we
were
going
to
get?
There
is
really
what
that
Health
Improvement
plan
work
group
is
about
one
of
our
very
first
coalitions
or
councils
out
of
healthy
Tri-County
was
the
diabetes
Coalition
that
you
see
here.
A
E
Thank
you,
and
as
as
Paul
shared,
you
know
that
a
lot
of
this
work
is
for
all
all
of
us.
While
we
have
great
leaders
that
many
of
you
on
the
call
today
in
our
community,
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
aligning
with
our
Community,
Partners
and
and
members
and
stakeholders,
and
so
we
are
right
in
the
middle
of
completing
our
Five-Year
Plan
around
this
Community
Health
Improvement.
E
As
you
as
you
can
see
here,
it
is
a
collaborative
effort
amongst
the
three
organizations
listed
here
and
just
to
show
the
process
that
it
takes
to
move
this
work.
It
is
around
data
assessment
and
getting
Community
input,
prioritizing
and
implementation
of
those
information
that
we
receive
back
from
the
community.
There's
ongoing
monitoring
and
as
I
just
shared
there's
a
component
of
reporting,
and
then
we
get
to
start
the
process
again.
So
it's
it's
a
continuous
process.
It's
an
ongoing
cycle
to
stay
timely.
E
So
now
our
regional
efforts
are
being
counted
in
the
Statewide
Community
Health
needs
assessment
in
previous
years.
We
were
you
know,
operating
on
our
regional
level
and
then
would
give
that
information
over,
but
while
the
state
is
collecting
for
for
their
pilot
project,
this
information
being
presented
today
is
also
being
shared
at
the
state
level
and
can
be
counted
in
their
assessment
and
in
their
evaluation
of
what
the
emerging
Health
needs
are
coming
out
of.
Charleston
Dorchester
and
Berkeley
County,
along
with
the
other
counties
here
in
South
Carolina.
E
So
that
was
something
that
I
think
was
something
to
be
proud
of
and
to
be
invited
to
be
a
part
of
that
discussion
and
a
great
team
of
researchers
in
public
health
practitioners
and
as
I
shared
before
it
was
available
online
and
through
paper
and
English
and
Spanish.
We
had
this
time
around
over
close
to
near
a
thousand
participants.
E
670
surveys
were
collected.
We
had
input
participant
sessions
where
we
had
community-wide
virtual
input
time
where
we
were
able
to
do
polling
and
surveying
doing
during
many
of
our
network
activity
through
our
partnership
with
Trident
United
Way
Through,
the
healthy
Tri-County
Health
improvement
work
group,
but
also
through
our
safety
net
assistance.
Network.
We
were
able
to
have
the
input
from
the
community
real
time,
virtually
with
over
47
focus
group
participants,
10
interviews
with
key
stakeholders
from
the
community
and
nine
and
those
focus
groups.
E
What
we
were
really
trying
to
focus
on,
because
we
had
such
a
robust
2019
Health
assessment
was
getting
more
into
the
qualitative
feedback.
What
we
wanted
to
check
for
was
that
we
were.
We
knew
the
five
priorities
that
we
had
identified
really
since
2013
since
Roper
St
Francis.
It
was
a
requirement
for
our
non-profit
status
that
we
conduct
a
community
health
needs
assessment
and
we
came
together
collectively
in
2016,
with
the
core
partners
that
I
mentioned
before
MUSC
and
try
to
United
Way.
E
But
in
this
Collective
effort
we
really
wanted
to
get.
You
know
make
sure
that
we
were
still
aligned
with
the
same
five.
You
know
top
priorities,
but
also
just
hear
a
little
bit
more
from
the
community.
On
that
quality
qualitative
front,
we
were
able
to
do
that
with
help
and
support
from
our
public
health
school
at
the
College
of
Charleston,
in
utilizing
their
students
in
the
public
health
program
by
providing
them
training
to
do
that
level
of
research
with
the
focus
groups
and
with
three
students
a
total
of
four
overall
for
this
project.
E
They
were
able
to
conduct
the
focus
groups
and
also
get
some
learning
and
education
along
the
way
about
how
to
conduct
those
qualitative
research
sessions,
and
so
I
owe
that
to
Dr
Morgan
Huey
and
her
leadership
there
over
at
the
college
in
Charleston,
and
also
her
participation
in
leadership
on
the
health
data
work
group
to
make
that
connection
and
be
able
for
for
us
to
utilize
a
great
resource
within
Academia
and
with
our
academic
partner.
At
the
College
of
Charleston.
E
So
what
we
see
out
of
the
survey
data
is
the
representation
here
by
County,
so
55
percent
of
responses
came
through
from
Charleston
County
25
from
Berkeley
and
18
from
Dorchester,
and
that
ongoing
data
collection
I
believe
this
at
Statewide
level.
They
may
have
just
closed
it
out
at
the
end
of
March
the
data
collection,
and
so
that
was
an
ongoing.
While
we
had
our
stamp
in
time
where
we
collected
data
at
the
beginning
of
2022,
that
data
collection
has
been
able
to
continue
through
this
Statewide
Collective.
E
What
we
found
was
here,
you
can
see
the
ranking
access
to
care.
There
was
no
change
there.
It's
still
number
one
one
of
the
key
leading
top
ranking
priorities
identified
by
the
community
through
that
data
assessment,
clinical
preventive
services,
and
so
that
moved
up,
and
if
you
were
to
probably
think
about
the
timing
of
the
survey,
we
were
coming
right
out
of
covid,
where
I
think
people
knew
more
about
immunizations
and
vaccinations.
That's
what
clinical
preventive
services
are.
E
It's
about,
our
cancer
screenings
and
things
like
our
diabetes
prevention
work
and
so
that
priority
moved
up
the
the
ranking
here
in
2022,
and
what
you
see
here
in
its
grade
here
is
oral
health
and
that
moved
up.
But
when
we
developed
our
health
Improvement
plan
work,
we
grouped
oral
health
with
access
to
care,
because
oral
health
many
times
is
the
the
first
part
of
our
having
Quality
Health
Care.
E
E
Fourth
in
the
ranking
there
was
mental
and
Behavioral
Health.
That
has
been
a
leading
priority
year
over
year,
and
you
know
I
see
that
this
work
continues
to
grow
and
mental
health
and
Behavioral
Health
being
top
priorities
for
all
obesity,
nutrition
and
physical
activity
is
next
up
in
the
ranking,
and
that
is
really
around
the
work
that
we
have
aligned
under
our
healthy
people.
Healthy
Carolinas
work
that
Joey
current
leads.
E
That's
where
we
are
able
to
get
targeted
focus
on
how
do
we
build
strategy
around
getting
to
Improvement
around
that
topical
area?
Sexual
Health?
We
have
grouped
that
in
years
past,
also
in
that
maternal
infant
and
child
health
space.
So
when
we
look
at
the
ranking,
it
aligns
with
how
the
priorities
have
ranked
year
over
year,
and
we
identify
strategies
and
recommendations
under
that
next
grouping,
maternal
infant
and
child
health,
and
so
that
really
is
all
with
the
undertone
of
Health
Equity.
In
each
of
these
priority
areas,
we
focus
on
Health
Equity.
E
E
Next
I
will
highlight
when
I
talked
about
you
know
when
we
we
surveyed
individuals
in
the
community.
We
also
asked
for
them
to
call
out
if
they
were
providers
or
practitioners
in
the
health
care
space
in
public
health
and
So.
Within
that
ranking,
we
had
over
near
270
individuals
who
identified
that
they
were
providers
or
health
practitioners
and
when
we
asked
them
to
rate
by
the
population
and
the
patients
that
they
serve
or
clients
that
they
serve
the
health
topic
rankings
that
they
identified
to
be
the
top
rankings.
E
Mental
health
was
number
one
followed
by
access
to
care,
obesity,
nutrition
and
physical
activity,
clinical
preventive
service,
and
you
can
see
the
ranking
there,
but
what
I
will
say
is
that
the
emergence
of
the
awareness
of
mental
health
and
how
it
impacts
overall,
health,
as
well,
is
being
called
out
by
by
providers.
I
will
also
share
that
during
this
time
we
had
many
of
those
key
informant
work.
E
Also
like
to
just
highlight
that,
overall
data
and
demographic
by
income
and
the
responses
that
we
got
in
the
categories
there,
you
know
you
can
see
where
most
of
our
respondents
by
income.
You
know
that
30
to
20
percent,
were
you
know
from
the
making
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
forty
nine
thousand
dollars
a
year.
E
So
getting
that
feedback
there,
but
I
feel
what
we
know
is
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
dive
in
even
more
with
our
Hispanic
and
latinx
Community
to
get
more
data
from
that
group
as
well.
So
we
also
see
that
we
still
have
opportunity
to
get
more
information
and
more
targeted
Outreach
to
certain
populations
by
this
data
collection
and
then
by
education.
E
I
believe
this
was
provided
to
everyone
before
the
session
today,
but
just
wanted
to
call
that
back
out.
Paul
had
requested
that
we
provide
the
City
of
Charleston
through
the
ZIP
code
level,
data
that
we
can
pull
through,
that
data
set
that
was
collected
and
the
responses
that
we
got.
And
so
here
you
can
see
average
age,
average
household
size,
the
veteran
population,
and
these
are
the
counts
that
we
got
out
of
the
200
responses
that
were
over
200
with
the
City
of
Charleston
responses.
E
So
really
in
the
City
of
Charleston
and
those
zip
codes,
we
align
with
the
priorities
that
you
saw
amongst
the
Tri-County
so
that
we
know
that
if
we
work
to
provide
initiatives
or
programming
at
this
at
the
city
level,
right
or
at
the
county
level,
in
Charleston
County
as
well,
it
will
align
with
our
Tri-County
work
efforts
and
make
impact
and
get
us
to
move
the
needle
a
little
bit
more
further
along
the
way
from
where
we
started
back
in
2016.
When
we
started
this
Health
Collective.
E
And
then
just
highlighting
our
Outreach
efforts,
you
know
we
had
a
just
wanted
you
to
see
the
way
that
we
did
our
Outreach.
It
was
through
a
QR
code.
We
disseminated
at
our
hospitals
in
community
forms
where
we,
as
the
health,
healthy
Tri-County,
core
Partners,
were
able
to
share
with
our
leadership
in
our
departments,
but
also
at
the
community
level
through
many
of
our
Network
Partnerships
that
we
have.
E
Sometimes
there
was
tabling
at
our
libraries
with
some
of
the
work
efforts
that
we
had
to
collect
the
data,
and
then
we
had
recently
here
where
you
know
we
tried
to
take
it
on
the
road
and
so
the
first
time
of
taking
it
on
the
road
on
the
road
show
was
through
our
conversation
on
race
and
Health
Equity
on
March
20th.
We
have,
for
example,
at
our
community
events.
E
We
add
Black,
Expo
lectures
and
presentations
enabled
just
to
utilize
this
information
for
current
initiatives
and,
as
we
all
come
together
to
develop
plans
along
the
way
and
just
want
to
just
give
a
highlight
from
that
session
that
we
had
on
March
20th.
We
had
over
216
people
register
with
139
attendees,
and
what
we
find
is
that
for
this
kind
of
conversation
around
Health
Equity
and
getting
this
data
and
information,
why
you
have
216
people
registered
they
register
because
they
know
they're
going
to
get
that
information
and
recording
afterward.
E
And
so,
while
conflicting
schedules
doesn't
always
allow
us
to
have
a
hundred
percent
participation.
We
still
get
a
good
number
of
people
who
can
attend,
and
so
we
had
over
near
140
people
attend
that
session
and
just
wanted
you
all
to
see
the
breakdown
that
was
provided
to
us
around
the
number
of
people
from
each
County
that
attended
and
the
sectors
that
were
were
represented
during
this
time
and,
as
you
recall
from
my
opening,
this
is
a
multi-sector
initiative.
E
So
it's
nice
to
always
see
that
we
still
have
a
good
representation
of
each
of
the
sectors
to
attend
events-
oh
and
so
our
community
health
needs
assessment
opportunities
that
I
stated
before
there's
opportunity
to
continue
to
have
some
student-led
projects
where
we
can
get
even
more
data
and
focus
groups,
particularly
as
priorities
emerge
or
or
things
change,
or
when
we
want
to
query
our
community.
We
now
have
that
connection
and
and
because
the
health
needs
assessment
process
is
a
every
three
year
process.
E
E
Do
we
still
have
greater
opportunities
in
some
areas
than
others,
and
that
data
collection
will
be
starting
in
May
of
2023
and
be
ongoing
so
that
by
the
time
we
get
to
June
30
we'll
be
having
a
report
out
for
the
fall
time
of
this
year
and
we
need
our
healthy
Tri-County,
Community,
Partners
and
their
input.
So
we
will
be
calling
on
you,
you
all
who
are
moving
the
work
in
our
community
to
let
us
know
what
have
you
done
in
this
time
over
the
last
five
years
to
help
make
impact.
E
We
also
have
a
published
report
that
we
kind
of
we
took
opportunity
to
kind
of
get
the
halfway
point
of
the
data
collection
and
efforts.
So
that's
also
a
published
resource
for
you
all
attending
the
session
today
to
look
look
back
at
some
of
the
progress
that
had
been
made
since
we
came
together
for
this
Collective.
E
A
I
don't
but
I
have
a
few
questions.
That's
maybe
started
all
off
with
one
that
you're
doing
additional
you're
still
trying
to
get
additional
information
from
the
Community
I
think
to
to
help
out.
How
can
we
help
with
posting
anything
in
on
the
city's
website
or
pages
to
or
opportunities
to
get
help
y'all
get
that
information
out
yeah.
E
Our
codes
were.
Excuse
me.
The
QR
code
is
on
the
healthy
Tri-County
website
as
well
to
help
with
that
data
collection
and
should
still
be
open,
so
the
promotion
of
that
data
collection,
while
they
will
denote
their
times
it's
an
ongoing
process
at
the
state
level
and
that's
what
we
heard
from
them
on
March
20th
when
they
were
part
of
the
conversational
race
and
Health
Equity.
So
we
can,
you
know,
help
the
greater
Statewide
effort
and
then
I
think
there
will
be
times
where
we
call
on
this.
E
This
partnership
that
we
have
here
with
the
city
to
say
we
want
to
come
to
your
community.
We
want
to
hear
from
you
know
your
stakeholders.
It
might
be
around
specific
topics
like
as
we
develop
this
next
implementation
plan.
We
might
need
to
dig
a
little
bit
deeper
and
so
I
know
with
you
know,
Joey
current
being
a
part
of
this
work
and
leading
the
charge
over
at
try
to
United
Way
right
now,
we
will
be
able
to
come
back
and
ask
for
that
opportunity
and
and
have
those
targeted
Outreach
times.
A
E
Patients
who
try
to
United
Way
with
that
organization
as
well
I,
know
from
where
I'm
seated
it's
constant
communication
with
the
leadership
there
so
that
we
can
be
involved
in
the
work
in
years.
Past
I
think
you
know,
we've
had
strategic
Partnerships
with
Fetter.
We
continue
to
do
that
as
well
as
we
strategize,
but
it's
more
opportunity
for
us
to
even
have
more
focus
groups,
I
think
Paul,
the
one
thing
to
notice
that
when
this
data
collection
was
happening,
many
of
our
organizations
were
in
times
of
transition.
Where
leadership
was
transitioning.
E
You
know,
teammates
were
transitioning,
and
so
the
Cadence
that
we
had
in
previous
years
and
iterations
things
shifted
and
that's
the
reality
behind
it.
But
we
are
still
in
constant
communication
and
it's
available
to
them
as
a
resource
as
well,
but
it
also
we
know
that
if
we
have
now
the
time
where
we
want
to
do
more
intense
focus
groups,
they
are
a
partner
and
one
that
I
know.
From
my
end,
at
Roper
St
Francis
that
we
stay
in
community
constant
communication
with
the
leaders
there.
A
E
E
Many
of
our
at
that
time,
private
physicians,
as
well
as
physician
groups,
came
to
the
table.
Our
community
based
organizations
all
to
come
together
around
this
Collective
around
Health
navigation,
which
is
now
the
buzzwords
you
might
hear.
Is
you
know
patient
navigation,
Health
navigation,
Community,
Health
worker,
really
bringing
that
model
to
our
community
through
some
grant
funding
and,
and
since
that
time,
we've
been
able
to
braid
and
blend
funding
and
resources
to
keep
that
program
operational
and
sustainable,
and
it's
now
been
13
years
since
that
model
has
been
in
our
Tri-County
area.
E
That
navigation
model
is
offered
to
all
four
Health
Systems
and
working
with
all
of
what
we
call
our
Primary
Care
Medical
homes,
which
could
be
from
our
physician
owned
practices.
Our
medical
groups
of
Primary
Care,
our
fairly
qualified
Health
Centers
and
our
free
clinic
Partners
to
make
sure
that
those
who
are
uninsured
or
underinsured
in
our
Tri-County
area
get
access
to
Primary
Care
providers
with
that
warm
handoff
and
referral
that
a
navigator
or
health
worker
will
make,
but
also
focus
on
social
determinant
issues
that
patients
or
clients
might
have.
E
And
so,
if
you
find
yourself
that
you
have
some
food
insecurity
concerns
that
navigate
or
a
health
worker
will
help
the
individual
apply
for
our
public
supports
around
our
SNAP
benefits
or,
if
they're,
having
issues
getting
their
medication.
Helping
them
apply
for
programming
that
would
allow
them
to
get
their
medications
many
times
for
free
or
at
a
discounted
rate,
so
really
focus
on
the
social
factors
and
being
a
part
of
the
clinical
care
team,
but
also
taking
care
of
you
know.
E
We
say:
80
percent
of
someone's
health
is
the
you
know,
other
factors,
and
only
20
percent
is
clinical
care.
Really.
The
community
health
workers
and
Navigators
help
with
some
of
that
80
to
make
sure
that
people
stay
healthy
and
well
in
our
region,
and
we
we
have
that
standing
track
record
now
of
13
years
and
continue
to
grow.
E
B
Very
good,
any
other
questions
well
incredible
work.
Thank
you
so
much
and
we're
so
fortunate
to
have
you
and
so
many
organizations
and
stakeholders
working
together.
You
know
thank
you
for
all
that.
You
do
organizing
all
this
and
putting
this
together
to
make
our
community
healthier
and
I
meant
to
mention
this
at
the
beginning,
when
I
introduced
you
but
I
did
want
to
congratulate
you.
B
B
F
These
are
National
themes.
They
started
off
with
Community
Tuesday
was
violence
prevention.
Today,
reproductive
and
sexual
help,
tomorrow
mental
health,
Friday
rural
Health,
Saturday,
accessibility
and
Sunday
nutrition
and
food.
So
Paul
sent
out
the
the
webinars
for
yesterday
and
today
and
I
will
share
with
him
the
information
for
the
coming
ones,
also
MUSC
the
Department
of
Public
Health.
There
is
hosting
events
throughout
the
week
and
on
Friday
at
their
Harper
Student
Health
Center.
F
They
will
actually
have
their
HPV
or
human
papilloma
virus
mobile
health
clinic
for
anyone
interested
in
going
to
tour
that
and
hearing
more
about
that
as
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
bring
vaccination
and
screening
out
to
those
in
need
of
it
in
the
public.
So
so
National
Public
Health
week,
and
thank
you
all
for.
B
F
You
do
to
continue
to
promote
Public
Health
in
our
community.
A
few
words
about
covid
one
is
that
just
yesterday
the
FDA
said
that
they
do
plan
to
allow
a
second
updated,
covid
booster
for
those
ages
65
and
over,
as
well
as
those
who
are
immunocompromised.
This
is
not
a
recommendation
that
those
groups
receive
that
second
booster,
but
it
is
going
to
be
an
option
for
that
group.
F
F
Thankfully,
we
are
seeing
low,
Community
levels
of
covet
across
the
state,
but
when
we
look
at
the
transmission
levels
and
that's
what
we
use
to
provide
recommendations
around
in
clinical
settings,
we
still
see
substantial
transmission
levels
in
the
Charleston
area.
So
that
is
an
area
where
we
say
consider
masking
when
in
clinical
settings
and
of
course,
all
are,
are
welcome
to
mask
at
any
time
to
to
protect
their
health.
F
Moving
on
to
flu,
we
continue
to
see
lower
levels,
Regional
activity
we
had
thought
because
of
the
early
Spike
this
year
we
may
see
a
second
Spike
that
is
still
possible.
We
have
seen
flu
activity
increase
as
late
as
May,
but
with
every
week
that
we're
not
seeing
that
it
gets
less
likely,
for
which
we
are
very
grateful.
That
being
said,
flu
vaccines
are
still
recommended
if
you've
not
received
one
at
this
time.
F
F
Currently,
that's
the
a
b
or
c
on
the
sticker,
but
you'll
also
be
able
to
look
at
historical
data
if,
if
interested
in
that,
it's
not
yet
available,
but
it
will
be
available
in
the
coming
months
and
you'll
see
it
on
those
stickers
and
then
finally,
nationally
two
things
naloxone,
the
FDA
has
decided
should
be
available
over
the
counter.
That
is
because
of
continued
increases
in
opioid
over
overdoses.
F
How
that,
when
exactly
that,
that
will
happen
and
and
how
that
will
affect
our
ability
to
to
sort
of
have
it
and
DHEC
and
deodus
I
hope
it
will
not.
But
a
lot
of
that
sort
of
remains
to
be
seen
at
this
moment.
Dhec
Andy
Otis
continue
to
have
free
of
charge
naloxone
for
anyone
in
the
public
that
wants
to
walk
in
any
of
those
facilities
and
and
pick
that
up
and
then.
F
Finally,
today,
the
EPA
announced
that
nearly
74
million
dollars
will
be
coming
to
South
Carolina
to
improve
our
drinking
water
infrastructure
and
that
that's
Nationwide,
but
that's
what
South
Carolina
is
going
to
get
and
I
think
that
we
have.
We
certainly
have
needs
to
ensure
that
the
drinking
water
is
as
safe
as
possible.
So
so
we
look
forward
to
that
money
coming
into
South,
Carolina
and
and
hope
to
see
improvements
that
that
it
brings.
A
You
know
I'm
going
to
ask
you
a
question
covid
now
that
we
are
in
this
area.
Do
we
still
need
to
test
if
we've
been
around
somebody
that
we
still
need
to
test
after
five
days
and
that
10-day
isolation?
Are
we
just
now
treating
it?
Basically
like
the
flu,
where
we
remind
people
not
to
come
to
work
if
they're
sick?
What
is
the
recommendations
out
there.
F
We
do
still
continue
to
recommend
testing
for
those
who
are
symptomatic
and
I
certainly
continue
to
to
hear
of
people
that
I
know
that
are
positive
for
covid
and
I
suspect.
Many
of
you
do
as
well
and-
and
we
do
recommend,
we
don't
recommend
the
10
days
of
isolation,
but
we
do
recommend
five
days
followed
by
masking
for
that
10
days
and
and
then
certainly
if,
if
symptoms
worsen,
again,
testing
again
is
recommended
for
gospel,
rebound
and
then
and
then
again,
isolation
and
and
masking.
F
The
free
supplies,
but
DHEC
still
has
lots
of
pre-tests,
so
feel
free
to
come
into
any
health
department
and
pick
those
up.
If
you
are
in
need,
it
will
change
some
of
the
the
transmission
levels
that
was
just
talking
about
that
helped
to
inform
clinical
setting
guidance.
Those
will
not
be
able
to
be
calculated
in
the
same
way,
because
we
will
not
get
reports
of
negative
covet
tests
anymore
and
that's
important
as
part
of
the
denominator
for
percent
positivity,
and
so
CDC
is
thinking
about
how
to
address
Health
Care
guidance.
Without
those
transmission
levels.
F
But
what
I
would
say
is
please
get
your
Cova
test
from
DHEC.
If,
if
you
need
any-
and
if
you
haven't
gotten
your
booster
already
your
first
one,
we're
certainly
recommending
that
and
then
for
those
in
the
high
risk
groups.
Look
for
information
soon
around
the
FDA,
recommending
that
that
second
booster.
A
Okay,
yeah
I
gotta
go
back
to
ask
that
question.
Are
we
still
needing
to
do
close
contact
calls
if
somebody's
been
around
somebody
who's
had
it,
or
is
that
just
up
to
the
people
to
talk
to
each
other?
Let
them
know
that
they've
been
around
somebody
that
they
were
around
them,
that
that
couldn't
spread
it.
B
All
right
any
other
questions
for
Dr
Richardson.
Well.
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
your
community
health
update.
As
always,
and
thank
you
for
all
that
you
do
for
our
community.
Thank
you.
So
we'll
move
into
our
community
updates
Roundtable
discussion
and
I'll
guess
I'll
check.
First,
with
Jennifer
brush
Department
of
Mental
Health.
G
G
Was
mental
health
advocacy
day
up
at
the
state
house,
so
all
the
mental
health
centers
went
up
there
to
raise
awareness
and
talk
to
our
legislators.
We
had
I
think
11
of
our
16
RVs
up
there,
which
was
pretty
neat:
we've,
never
brought
them
all
together
before
and
for
Renee
speaking
to
access
to
care.
G
The
reason
we
have
RVs
in
all
of
our
Mental
Health
Centers
is
to
go
out
in
the
rural
areas
and
provide
mental
health
treatment,
so
they're
all
called
highway
to
Hope,
which
are
patients
named
here
in
Charleston,
so
they
kind
of
copied
the
name
across
all
the
centers,
but
that
was
a
kind
of
a
neat
thing
to
do
and
a
lot
of
our
patients
went
with
us.
So
that
was
good.
G
I
see
Paul
has
looks
like
the
Bridge
Run
behind
him
and
we
had
our
same
10.
Patients
from
Dorchester
Clinic
go
to
the
bridge
run
again.
We
had
a
bunch
of
really
neat
pictures,
they're,
so
proud,
I
think
they've
done
it
for
probably
eight
years
now,
I'm
down
the
Bridge
Run,
and
so
we're
really
proud
of
them.
For
that
988
is
still
moving
along.
Here.
G
We
have
six
staff
hired
and
we're
in
the
process
of
training,
so
as
the
second
988
call
Center
for
South
Carolina
we're
hoping
to
be
open
here
sooner
than
later,
maybe
in
a
month
or
so
not
in
our
actual
location,
but
we're
gonna
wing
it
and
do
it
from
here
a
little
bit
until
we
get
to
moved
into
our
building
across
the
street.
But
again
our
goal
is
to
be
able
to
answer
all
988
calls
from
South
Carolina
in
South
Carolina,
so
I'll
keep
you
posted
on
that
again.
G
G
We
are
starting
to
hire
more
school
mental
health
clinicians,
which
is
good
and
some
other
clinicians.
So
things
are
looking
up
staff
wise
as
far
as
that
goes
in
May
I'm,
going
to
continue
to
send
you
all
information
about
our
art
of
Discovery
exhibit
I
pick
a
list
for
later
at
the
circular.
Church
downtown
it'll
be
a
two-week
Art
Exhibit
for
kids
across
all
the
whole
school
school
district
in
Charleston
and
Dorchester,
with
the
mental
health
Focus.
G
Obviously,
conference
is
coming
up
in
July
and
I'll
keep
just
sending
Joey,
not
Joey,
Paul
information
about
that
great
speakers.
It's
a
great
two
and
a
half
day
or
two
day
and
one
night
event
again
this
year
and
then
lastly,
there's
there's
still
lots
of
talk.
There's
a
couple
bills
up
at
the
state
house
which
we
were
up
talking
about
last
week.
Also
the
about
DHEC,
you
never
know
Katie
and
I
could
end
up
in
the
same
agency,
but
by
the
time.
G
This
is
all
over
we're
not
sure,
there's
two
different
versions
of
it
of
splitting
DHEC
into
two
agencies
and
us
being
part
of
it
and
us,
maybe
not
being
part
of
it.
So
time
will
tell
on
that
one.
So
that's
that's
my
update
here
and
you
know
happy
to
have
good
Spring
weather,
and
hopefully
things
are
getting
some
back
to
back
to
New
Normal
right.
B
D
D
Additionally,
we
are
still
running
our
covet
and
flu
clinics,
which
are
free
to
our
staff
and
students
and
their
household
family
members.
The
schedule
is
available
on
our
website,
it's
very
similar
to
the
Past
months,
where
we
have
multiple
sites
a
day
across
the
district,
starting
either
at
10,
A.M
or
noon
going
through
6
p.m
or
7
p.m,
and
then
on
the
weekends
having
a
site
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
is
one
single
site.
We
aren't
doing
testing,
though
over
spring
break,
so
right
now
on
our
website.
D
The
schedule
goes
through
the
14th
of
April
and
we'll
be
updating
that
with
the
schedule
for
the
rest
of
April
and
early
May
here
shortly.
Some
other
fun
celebrations
this
week.
It
is
the
National
Association
for
the
education
of
young
children's
week
of
the
young
child,
so
several
of
our
schools
are
recognizing
that
and
engaging
with
our
young
students
and
reading
and
other
fun
activities,
and
it's
also
National
assistance
principal
week.
So
if
you
see
your
your
child's
assistant
principal
thank
them
for
all
that
they
do
it's
also
School
library
month.
D
B
C
I
know
everyone's
still
coming
off
the
high
of
this
past
weekend's
Cooper
River
Bridge
Run
and
we're
looking
forward
to
the
next
10K.
To
do
so,
we
will
be
actually
having
one
and
Sundays
April
23rd
on
campus.
It's
called
The
Citadel
Bulldog
challenge,
so
it's
another
10K.
This
is
done
in
teams
of
either
two
or
four
and
it's
just
another.
C
B
H
Yeah
sure
a
lot
of
things
have
been
mentioned
already
today.
We
just
held
our
conversations
on
race
and
Health
Equity,
as
Renee
mentioned,
but
Joey
is
not
able
to
talk
so
Joey
and
I
actually
presented
all
the
great
work
that
we've
been
able
to
do
with
our
partnership
here
to
United
Way
worldwide
needs
a
United
ways
from
across
the
country,
and
we
were.
We
were
able
to
present
all
the
work
that
healthy,
Tri,
County
has
done,
and
I
spoke
specifically
to
the
conversations
on
race
and
Health
Equity.
H
So
just
wanted
to
point
out
the
fact
that
the
work
that
we're
doing
here
in
the
Charleston
area
is
a
shining
example.
As
Renee
mentioned.
You
know,
our
our
health
needs
assessment
was
an
example
or
being
looked
at
closely
as
a
shining
example
of
how
we
could
do
it
throughout
the
state.
But
with
the
conversation
we
had
the
other
day,
Joe
and
I,
we
actually
presented
to
people
throughout
the
country
within
United
ways
to
show
them
how
it
can
be
done
and
how
the
community
can
come
together.
H
We
also
just
recently
had
our
fourth
annual
Senior
Expo
out
at
the
convention
center.
So
I'm
not
sure
I,
think
many
of
you
may
have
participated
in
that
and
Jennifer
just
wanted
to
say
great
showing
at
the
state
house
last
week
you
know
I
thought
the
other
week.
I
was
up
there
as
I
spend
most
of
my
time
this
time
of
year
up
there
at
the
state
house
but
great
showing
from
your
agencies
across
the
state.
So.
B
A
Well,
I'll
just
share
because
this
is
a
running,
a
joke
between
the
Mayors,
but
when
we
were
having
the
Press
luncheon
for
the
Bridge
Run,
the
traffic
was
backed
up
on
the
Ravenel
Bridge
behind
us
and
mayor
Haney
said
people
were
waiting
to
get
into
Mount
Pleasant.
So
I
had
to
put
this
picture
up,
hoping
the
mayor
was
going
to
be
on
to
give
him
an
opportunity
to
say
back
that.
A
B
They're
very
good
all
right!
Thank
you!
Paul
and
I
do
see
that
councilman
seekings
is
on
here.
Thank
you
for
for
joining
us
today
and
I
appreciate
all
of
you
that
have
that
have
joined
and
spent
your
time.
I
know
how
valuable
your
time
is,
but
it's
very,
very
valuable
to
the
City
of
Charleston
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
being
one
and
do
we
have
anything
else
that
should
come
before
this
committee?
