2023 City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Committee 8/2/2023
A
I
think

have
just
over
150
days
left
in
2023,
and
it's
also
I
happen
to
see
it's
a
National
Ice
Cream
Sandwich
day,
so
I
hope
everybody
can
enjoy
an
ice
cream
sandwich
today.
Speaking
of
schools,
Maggie
Dangerfield's

training

usually
represents
Charleston

our
meetings,

she
apologized
for

she
wanted
to
be
here.
A
We
also

everybody.
Thank
you
all
for
for
joining
us
on
this
August
morning.
First,
up
on
our
agenda
is
the
minutes
which
Paul
sent
out
earlier.
A
Is
Shelby
joffrin
she's,
the
city
Charleston
Police,
Department
coordinator
for
special
projects,
technology
and
grants
and
I'm
going
to
ask
Shelby
to
give
us
a
little
more
information
on
on
her.
If
she
would-
and
we
appreciate
her
coming
on
and
and
giving
us
an
update
on
on
what
some
of
the
great
things
that
she's
doing
in
the
community,
so
Shelby.
C
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
I
do
have
a
slideshow
to
share
with
you
guys
about
a
10
minute
talk
and
we'll
talk
about
some
numbers.
What
the
grant
is
that
funds
me
we'll
talk
a
little
just
close
up
and
then
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
scoref
and
then
we'll
look
at
some
numbers
for
Charleston
City
of
Charleston,
so
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen.
C
Thank
you.
Okay.
Sorry,
apologies
all
right!
So,
let's
go
to
the
beginning,
apology,
so
I'm,
sorry,
I'm,
I'm,
just
technology,
so
part
one
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
opioid
crisis
in
Charleston
and
the
numbers
where's
the
money
coming
from
what
are
area,
leas
law
enforcement
agencies
doing
to
help
and
the
next
steps
questions
all
that
good
stuff
part
two.
We
don't
have
to
go
through
in
depth.
D
C
C
It
was
awarded
in
2021
to
City
of
Charleston
Charleston
Police
Department.
Those
funds
were
about
almost
a
million
dollars
and
they
were
divided
over
three
years
to
meet
the
goals
of
the
grant
we
are
already
I
can
tell
you
right
now,
looking
at
least
to
your
extension,
those
funds
are
to
be
utilized
within
Charleston
County
and
Charleston.
Police
Department
wrote
the
grant.
C
C
C
C
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
law
enforcement
will
always
have
the
view
of
a
pathway
to
recovery,
and
so
these
are
two
of
the
organizations
that
I
primarily
work
with
and
and
learn
from
and
that's
Pari,
the
police,
assisted
addiction,
recovery
initiative
and
the
second
is
treatment.
Alternatives
for
safe
communities,
I
I
have
got
I've
garnered
so
much
respect
and
and
obviously
there's
so
much
work
behind
the
theories
that
these
two
organizations
have
compiled
over
the
years.
C
C
So
let's
take
a
little
bit
of
a
look
at
Narcan,
so
we
did
a
PR
campaign
and
we
are
still
obviously
it's
so
in
progress
right
now,
the
first
564
kits
to
come
out
of
my
grant.
That
was
about
thirty
thousand
dollars,
and
that
was
quite
a
day
when
those
were
delivered
to
my
office.
It
was.
It
was
incredible
to
see
that
much
here,
so
the
Narcan
pits,
of
course,
have
fentanyl
test
strips
two
doses
of
Narcan
informational
card,
a
CPR
face,
mask
and
gloves
protective
gloves.
C
I
was
just
doing
my
normal
research
through
our
incident
system
and
I
noticed
that
there
were
five
overdose
deaths
within
48.
Hours
I
contacted
my
contact
at
the
coroner's
office.
They
had
noticed
it
as
well
and
we
were
able
through
act,
four
social
talk
to
it
in
just
a
second
able
to
get
a
message
out
to
area
organizations
and
what
was
happening
was
it
was
cocaine
and
Fentanyl
being
mixed
together.
C
So
with
that
information
we
took
location,
we
were
able
to
Target
a
location,
we
will
Target
an
actual
demographic
and
so
I
went
and
walked
Marion
square
and
some
other
areas
downtown
specifically
talking
to
people
and
giving
them
Narcan
and
saying
please
be
careful,
and
that
was
one
of
the
most
impactful
things
that
I've
been
able
to.
You
know
boots
on
the
ground.
Do
since
I've
been
here
in
Charleston,
otherwise
it's
handing
out
Narcan
kits
and
educating
right,
but
when
you
can
actually
Target
something
that
seems
emergent
and
acute
it.
C
It's
that
you
know
that
Rush
and
all
the
systems
that
we
are
working
on
were
all
put
into
place.
You
know
the
communication
across
agencies,
of
course,
the
Citadel
mall
and
the
homeless.
Camp
distribution
and
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
North
Charleston
there,
because
they
have
a
little
bit
of
a
larger
homeless
Community
than
we
do,
and
they
do
an
incredible
job
with
getting
information
out
with
that
Narcan
kit
as
well.
There
is
Police
Department
front
and
desk
pickup.
C
No
questions
asked
you
just
go
in
and
say
I'm
here
to
pick
up
a
Narcan
kit
and
they
slide
you,
one
home
drop
off.
There's
a
QR
code.
We
I
mean
on
a
weekly
I
say
we
get
about
five
to
seven
a
week
that
are
home
drop-offs
and
it's
no
contact
I,
just
drop
it
at
your
front
door
and
go
or
a
police
officer.
Whoever
I
can
get
that's,
maybe
on
that
beat
and
to
drop
it
off.
C
For
me,
the
and
I'm
still
working
with
the
public
libraries
to
get
that
get
them
to
also
be
a
distribution
point
for
us
as
well.
If
you
take
a
look
over
here
at
the
police
officer,
just
this
is
the
generic
police
officer
card
under
this
QR
code.
There's
a
link
tree
and
you
can
also
request
a
Narcan
kit
through
that
as
well,
and
this
kind
of
gives
you
an
idea
of
what
my
distribution
looks
like,
so
that
five
first
564
kits
did
not
just
go
to
CPD.
C
C
It's
a
really
good
way
to
pick
and
choose
what
works
for
you
so
far.
Another
part
of
what
I
do
part
of
what
I
do
is
that
across
jurisdictional
Communications
jurisdictional
communication.
So
if
someone
ODS
in
City
of
Charleston,
but
they
live
in
Mount
Pleasant,
what
is
a
good
record-keeping
management
system
outside
of
excel
that
we
can
communicate
that
and
be
able
to
track
the
follow-ups.
C
C
C
We
are
in
talks
to
do
that
with
favor
Low
Country.
So
you
can
see
here.
This
is
the
screenshot
was
taken
a
while
ago
that
the
last
follow-up
that
was
done
was
in
June
and
we
can
continually
do
depending
on
the
law
enforcement
agency.
There
are
different
workflows
as
to
how
many
times
we
follow
up
and
all
that
good
stuff
you
can
see
here.
C
You
can
see
so
Stephen
is
in
Mount
Pleasant,
of
course,
I'm
here
and
then
Ryan
Terrell
is
in
North
Charleston.
So
this
is
a
massive
communication
undertaking.
That's
going
well,
so
this
is
a
really
cool
slide.
I!
Think
it's
really
really
neat
and,
like
I
said
it's
probably
been
my
my
most
favorite
part
of
what
I
do
and
that's
working
with
all
of
these
area.
Organizations
act.
Force
is
addiction,
crisis
task
force.
C
It
is
Led
here
by
judge
Bruce
Hendricks
and
we've
got
commissioner
Gill
carolakowski
on
board
as
well,
and
we
meet
every
other
month
with
the
intent
to
provide
a
place
for
all
of
us
to
get
together
and
talk
about.
What's
going
right
and
what's
going
wrong
and
it's
just
such
judge,
Hendricks
has
really
created
an
atmosphere
of
collaboration
and
and
and
information
sharing.
C
C
The
education
committee
goes
out
into
Charleston,
County
schools
and
does
presentations
on
substance
use
disorder
and
then
the
law
enforcement
agency
case
Review
Committee,
rotates
by
agency
utilizes
a
specific
incident
and
we
will
discuss
the
specifics.
What
went
right
and
what
could
be
improved
upon
and,
like
I
said,
I'm
kind
of
I'm
involved
on
that
committee.
I
sit
in
and
I
listen,
but
primarily
it's
our
sworn
police
officers
that
take
the
lead
on
that
committee.
C
C
What
events,
what
you
know
Outreach
is
going
on
and
then
just
just
a
basic
report
out
I
also
put
out
a
monthly
newsletter
that
talks
about
cosop
that
talks
about
addiction.
Each
newsletter
has
a
a
different
educational
piece
and
I
was
encouraged
here
at
CPD.
One
of
our
investigators
was
like.
Don't
just
put
out
fluff
put
out
stuff
that
people
will
actually
learn
from,
and
so
that's
been
a
really
interesting
thing
to
have
officers
come
in
and
ask
questions
about
some
of
the
articles
that
are
in
that
newsletter.
D
D
C
We
are
not,
we
are
not
so
you
know
I.
That
is
a
note
to
be
made.
I
know
that
I
am
working
on
the
same
calendar
with
other
law
enforcement
agencies,
which
is
I've,
got
three
within
City
of
Charleston
jurisdiction.
A
couple
in
Mount
Pleasant,
a
couple
in
North
Charleston
and
a
couple
in
County,
but
it
never
I'm,
not
maybe
that's
just
a
fault
of
mine
I,
would
not
have
thought
to
coordinate
with
the
fire
department.
A
C
C
D
C
So
far,
we've
we've
responded
to
a
total
of
about
150
117
of
those
were
non-fatal,
34
were
fatal,
and
what
I'm?
Finding
in
the
incident
reports
is
when
they're
a
fatality,
there
is
they're
already
deceased
when
we,
when,
when
First
Responders
get
there,
and
so
we
take
those
117-ish
and
then
we
break
them
down
over
here
so
about
50.
C
There
is
no
note
in
the
incident
report
if
Narcan
was
administered
or
not,
but
those
that
did
that
did
have
Narcan
administered
about
14
of
those
were
bystanders,
which
means
people
that
had
it
on
hand.
This
is
where
that
Community
engagement
piece
comes
in
it's.
You
know
a
local
business,
a
friend
or
family,
something
like
that
CPD
administered
14
times
and
then
fire
an
EMS
administered
37
times
so
Paul.
To
speak
to
your
question
about,
like
the
numbers
that
we're
looking
at
we're.
C
C
B
You
Shelby
thank
you
for
the
wonderful
work
you're
doing
here,
I'm
so
so
pleased
to
hear
your
report.
I
am
a
little
more
curious
about
the
numbers.
You
know
because
I
I've
been
reading
that
nationally
I
think
the
the
national
number
of
deaths
last
year
from
overdose
were
over,
like
110
000
in
the
country
and
I'm
I'm,
wondering
and-
and
one
is
too
many
34
seems
like
a
pretty
big
number
to
me.
I
mean
it's
over
four
times
what
our
homicide
rate
is
in
the
city
year
today.
B
How
do
we
compare
if
you
look
at
the
you
know,
per
thousand
in
population?
You
may
not
know
this
off
top
of
your
head,
and,
and
how
do
we
compare
also
to
our
own
City,
you
know
year
to
year,
has
is
34
a
lot
more
than
it
was
last
year
or
or
the
year
before.
Do
you
do
you
have
any
history
on
that?
So.
C
So
it's
definitely
we're
not
at
the
top,
but
we're
close
to
the
top,
and
so
yes
34
Chief,
Walker
and
I've
talked
about
this
several
times
how
there
is
when
you
speak
in
terms
of
calls
emergency
calls
what
percentage
are
going
to
are
to
overdoses?
What
what
is
our
percentage
and
100
and
150
odd?
Some
odd
calls
in
six
months.
C
B
C
B
E
Sorry
about
that
Shelby
just
kudos
to
what
the
what
Charleston's
doing
and
what
what
you're
doing
through
that
program.
It's
amazing,
I
I,
started
the
Narcan
program
here
at
Roper,
St
Francis
as
well,
because
of
our
of
our
our
pain,
centers,
our
chronic
pain,
centers
or
things.
You
know
where
medication
is
actually
going
out,
sending
that
education
out
as
well
so
I
just
think
what
you're
doing
is
amazing.
I
didn't
know
if
I
got
your
information
actually
from
the
last
page.
E
In
your
presentation,
I
was
going
to
email
you
a
little
later
and
see
what
the
hospital
can
do
to
speak
with
the
City
of
Charleston
CPD
as
well,
or
just
just
to
kind
of
collaborate,
numbers
and
such
because
of
once
what's
coming
out
with
from
the
hospitals,
and
we
have
patients
coming
out
because
some
of
those
medications
we
write
so
being
involved
in
that
I
think
would
be
a
would
be
a
good
joint
venture.
So
I'll
email
you
later
about
that,
but
but
Kudos
on
what
you've
done.
It's
it's
amazing.
A
F
Thanks
so
much
councilman
and
as
Shelby
said,
this
is
really
all
public
safety
issue
number
one.
That's
not
getting
a
a
lot
of
attention
that
it
needs
and
she
made
a
comparison
to
the
homicide
rate
in
one
homicide
is
one
homicide
too
many.
But
when
you
start
talking
about
the
number
of
deaths
that
we're
dealing
with,
especially
this
year
with
the
overdose,
it
is
it's
astronomical
so
trying
to
educate
the
public
starting
in
the
schools.
Any
Community
meetings
that
I'm
going
to
this
is
pretty
much
the
discussion.
F
C
C
Okay,
so
when,
whenever
you
come
to
the
library
you
will
come
in
there's
all
kinds
of
resources,
as
participants.
Walk
in
I
also
break
the
the
training
up
into
two
sessions,
one
if
you're
just
there
for
the
training
and
that
kind
of
information.
That's
only
about
30
minutes.
If
you
want
to
stay
and
get
a
little
bit
more
information,
just
like
I
just
presented
to
you,
you
can
stay
otherwise.
C
Thank
you
for
coming.
You
know,
so
we
do
a
little
bit
on
what
are
opioids
and
what
did?
How
do
they
affect
us?
Why
do
we
need
to
be
cautious,
that
kind
of
thing
and,
if
I'm,
going
too
fast,
please
someone,
let
me
know
I
show
a
small
video
on
how
utilizing
opioids
legally
can
then
turn
illegal
or
elicit
how
overdose,
Works
and
remember
I
have
to
really
speak
to
the
general
public
here.
C
What
to
look
for
whenever
you
think
that
someone
may
be
overdosing
and
then
I
utilize,
the
Narcan
video
for
the
actual
training.
However,
we
have
here
in
Charleston
a
couple
of
caveats.
For
example,
they
say
to
put
put
a
victim
in
what's
called
a
recovery
position.
We
do
not
suggest
that
just
because
you
don't
know
what
other
injuries
that
person
may
have.
C
C
The
other
thing
that
has
been
a
really
big,
like
light,
bulb
I've
seen
in
in
talking
to
the
general
public,
do
not
prime
Narcan.
It
does
not
need
to
be
primed
like
Flonase,
sometimes
or
other
nasal
applications.
You
have
to
prime
it
before
it.
Actually,
the
medication
actually
dispenses
that's
not
true
with
Narcan
it.
You
know
once
you
do
the
the
initial
dispersion,
it's
medicine
is
gone.
So
what
things
that
we
need
to
know
about
Narcan.
C
These
are
just
general
questions
that
people
have
asked,
and
so
I
I
address
them
here,
primarily
Good
Samaritan
there.
It
reverses
for
overdoses
for
opioid.
Only
so
anything,
that's
a
something
that
system
that's
a
stimulant,
but
not
an
opioid.
It
won't
work
on
Like,
Cocaine
depressants.
It
won't
work
on
only
on
opioids
expired,
Narcan
still
has
a
shelf
life
and
that
of
course
diminishes
as
time
goes
on,
but
it
there
is
a
chill
chart
that
you
can
take
a
look
at.
C
So
if
you,
if
all
you
have
is
expired,
Narcan
at
least
give
it
a
shot.
And
then
the
duration
of
Narcan
in
your
body
is
30
to
120
minutes.
So
it
is.
I
still
want
the
education
piece
out
there
that
if
you
overdose
you've
used
Narcan,
you
can
still
have
a
lethal
amount
of
drugs
in
your
system
that
it's
important
for
you
to
get
to
the
hospital,
because
that
Narcan
will
wear
off.
C
And
then
this
is
just
tips
for
parents.
I've
had
quite
a
few
parents
come
into
trainings
or
ask
questions
and
this
down
at
the
bottom.
That
just
say
no,
that's
not
just
me
putting
that
on
a
slide.
That
is
something
that's
gone
through
discussion
with
act
force
and
the
folks
from
DEA
and
Haida
that
how
do
we
approach
drug
education
in
in
our
schools
and
with
our
kiddos?
C
G
Do
you
have
any
suggestions,
as
you've
been
out
in
the
community,
trying
to
distribute
these
kits
where
good
places
to
go
to?
If
you
find
yourself
in
need
of
it
in
a
in
a
quick,
you
know
situation
and
just
run
to
I
know
you
mentioned.
Maybe
the
libraries
is
one
one
area
you're
trying
to
work
with,
and
obviously
the
police
station
and
fire
departments,
but
anywhere
else.
People
should
keep
in
mind
that
they
can
get
Narcan
quick
if
they
need
it.
G
C
C
There
was
a
victim
overdosing
in
downtown
and
the
person
ran
out
of
the
store
and
said
I
have
this
as
I
understand
from
the
incident
report
and
the
police
officer.
That
was
there.
Of
course,
all
of
our
police
officers
carry
Narcan
as
well,
but
the
kit
was
already
there,
so
the
police
officer
said
yeah
sure
and
and
utilized
the
Narcan
from
the
emergency
kit
that
we
then
replaced.
So
does
that
answer
your
question.
A
B
B
B
C
I
think
just
the
education
piece,
like
you
said,
Nancy
Shipman
has
a
great
program
in
Mount
Pleasant.
With
wake
up
Carolina.
You
know
she
lost
her
son
to
opioid
overdose,
testimonials
for
people
with
lived
experience,
peer
support,
people
being
a
part
of
this
mix.
Part
of
it,
though,
and
that's
educating
the
the
community
at
large.
C
From
my
background
in
education,
though
you
that
education
piece
and
remembering
that
kids,
your
frontal
lobe,
is
not
developed.
Your
decision-making
centers
are
not
developed,
so
just
making
sure
that
they
have
the
like
right
and
real
information,
of
course,
age-appropriate,
but
making
sure
that
they
have
information
in
order
to
make
those
decisions
and
and
fentanyl
is
in
everything.
B
F
And
I
just
wanted
to
add
in
Mr,
Mayor
and
I
know
some
of
the
questions
and
it's
not
just
a
cocaine
thing
and
I
know
when
we
start
thinking
about
drug
use.
But
this
this
is
impacting
every
aspect
of
recreational
drug
use.
So
when
we
start
talking
about
our
youth
and
education,
it's
also
impacting
marijuana.
You
know
you
have
marijuana's
being
laced
with
fentanyl.
You
have
them
taking
pills
that
they
think
are
certain
pills,
but
actually
a
straight
fentanyl.
F
So
when
we
start
talking
about
every
facet
of
the
community
and
getting
the
message
out,
that's
that's
kind
of
what
we're
talking
about
so
we're
open
to
any
ideas
and
like
I,
say
the
more
we
talk
about
it,
the
more
we
educate
the,
hopefully,
the
better
outcomes
we
have
in
our
community
to
start
with
and
then
Branch
out
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
piece.
We've
had
an
incident
where
we
had
to
overdose
with
with
a
young
teenager
that
he
thought
he
was
just
smoking,
marijuana
yeah
and
it
was
not
good.
F
D
F
C
Right
if
I
make
two
points
there,
just
like
Mr,
Berlin,
berlinski,
just
said
fentanyl
or
alluded
to
fentanyl
is
a
legal
painkiller
and
oftentimes
whenever
it
can
be
illegal
and
produced
legally
and
utilized
legally
and
so
oftentimes.
Whenever
a
patient
is
prescribed,
fentanyl
they're
also
prescribed
Narcan
as
a
backup,
so
it
can
be
utilized
in
just
like
just
like
everything
else,
it
pretty
much.
It
can
be
utilized
legally
for
good.
C
It's
those
illicit
substances
that
it's,
it's
not
they're,
they're
being
produced
in
illegal
Labs,
where
you're
not
dealing
with
a
homogenized
product
you're,
not
dealing
with
a
scientist
that
is
administering
this
product.
I
mean
that's
where
the
fatality
comes
in
and
the
second
point
I
would
make
there
is
oftentimes
people
ask
well.
Why
would
a
dealer
want
to
mix
in
Fentanyl
and
kill
their
client?
F
F
D
G
E
D
B
E
If
it's
a
nitro
patch,
then
it
could
drop
your
pressure
down
and
you
fall
or
if
it's
a
fentanyl
patch
there's
been
a
lot
of
there's
been
a
lot
I
mean
YouTube.
Has
the
videos
of
officers
not
knowing
what
it
is
and
touching
it
and
then
just
collapse?
That's
how
quick
that
is,
and
if
you
don't
have
Narcan
it's
you,
you
have
like
they're
like
they
were
showing
you.
You
have
seconds.
F
C
D
D
I
guess
I
have
one
question:
I
know:
Laurie
was
on
I
think
she
made
a
laugh,
but
should
should
city
offices
have
a
kit
on
on
site,
just
as
as
a
precautionary
I
think
people
are
more
fear
about
giving
it
when
they
and
their
liability
given
it.
But
it
sounds
to
me
from
what
the
question
that
was
asked
earlier
by
Joey.
It
seems
like
the
availability
of
having
it
is
the
most
important
part
and
I'm
just
wondering
rec
centers
swimming
pools.
Other
areas
should
they
should
they
be
equipped
as
an
emergency
situation.
C
E
Also,
the
it
doesn't
harm
anybody
right
if
you
give
it
and
they
don't
need
it
or
if
you
give
it
to
an
infant,
has
it
at
home
and
accidentally
sprays
it
it
does
nothing.
There's
no
side
effect
to
Narcan.
So
this
you're
not
hurting
anybody
if
you
accidentally
give
it.
So
that's
the
safe
part
about
that
too.
H
C
Well,
Paul
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
get
information
and
education
out
about
what
I'm
doing
and
I
certainly
appreciate
everyone
else's
role
in
what
we're
doing
here
in
the
community,
and
thank
you
please
reach
out
anytime.
If
I
can
be
of
assistance,
if
I
can
provide
kits
but
Paul,
yes,
I
will
see
about
getting
some
kits
more
in
city
offices
as
well,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
this
opportunity.
C
A
You
so
much
appreciate
everything
such
an
important
issue
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
and
for
those
of
you
on
on
here.
If
you
would
help
us
get
the
word
out
Thursday
evening,
West
Ashley,
like
the
Beast
Ferry
West
Ashley
Library,
there
will
be
a
Narcan
training.
They
are
I,
can't
remember
if
it's
six
six
o'clock
or
six
thirty
six
o'clock,
okay,
six
o'clock,
so
if
if
those
of
you
out
here
can
can
help
us
get
the
word
out
there,
that
would
be
great.
A
So
thank
you
so
much
Shelby
for
for
all
your
work
and
spending
so
much
time
with
us
and
educating
us
on
this.
Thank
you
and
I
did
want
to
mention
Jerome
Smalls
from
the
mayor's
office.
He
doesn't
have
his
camera
on,
but
it's
his
first
first
time
being
on
this
with
our
committee,
and
we
are
very,
very
excited.
He's
new
to
the
city,
he's
a
great
young
man
and
and
we're
excited
to
have
him
so
welcome.
Jerome
thanks.
H
H
I
All
right,
thank
you.
So
much
Kevin
I
I
bring
your
greetings.
I
am
Lamar
Hodges,
the
one
of
the
community
health
systems,
program
manager
and,
of
course,
I,
do
have
all
the
information
that
Dr
Richardson
normally
will
probably
provide,
but
I
do
have
some
updates
and
some
reminders
for
everyone
this
morning.
The
first
thing
is
that,
of
course,
this
one
is
just
kind
of
celebrate
that
you
know
this
year.
I
I
Of
course,
in
the
sense
of
with
my
program,
we
will
be
in
with,
of
course,
celebrating
50
years
we're
going
to
be
moving
into
a
lot
of
changes
when
it
comes
to
South,
Carolina
DHEC
as
it
pertains
to
with
my
program.
We
are
changing
my
name
to
the
community
engagement
team.
What
that
looks
like
and
why
we
end
up
doing.
That
is
because,
of
course,
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
really
be
more
for
people
to
understand
what
we
do
and
be
able
to
be
out
there
more
in
the
community.
I
B
A
All
right
well
very
good.
Well,
we
we
appreciate
the
update,
thank
you
very
much
and
all
that
you
do
at
defax.
Thank
you
so
much
so
we'll
move
on
to
our
community
health
and
wellness,
updates
and
I
know.
David
gear
is,
is
sitting
in
for
Charleston
Dorchester
mental
health
didn't
know.
If
you
had
anything,
you
wanted
to
update
on
us
the.
H
The
biggest
update
for
us
is
that
we
we
just
completed
our
our
mental
health
conference
in
at
the
Gilliard
Auditorium
on
on
Thursday
and
Friday,
well
really
Wednesday
through
Friday
last
week.
It
was
extremely
well
attended
and
appeared
to
have
been
a
significant
success
that
we're
we're
really
happy
with
with
how
that
went
other
than
that.
H
A
G
As
many
folks
know,
we
have
a
new
CEO
who's
been
with
us
for
a
couple
of
months
now
at
trying
United
Way,
and
we
are
doing
a
our
first
inaugural
state
of
the
family's
address
on
August
23rd
and
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
many
of
the
things
that
we
talk
about
on
these
calls.
What
what
folks
are
dealing
with
out
in
the
community
and
barriers
to
health
and
wellness
and
self-sufficiency
got
a
great
panel
of
speakers
who
are
going
to
be
speaking.
J
Yeah,
no
thanks
very
much
Kevin
one
thing
I
will
highlight
it's
a
bit
of
a
way
off
is,
but
just
to
get
it
on
people's
calendars,
perhaps
is
in
recognition
for
Hunger
action
month.
We
have
our
annual
walk
to
fight
hunger.
That's
taking
place
in
September,
it's
September,
the
10th
from
11
till
2,
11
A.M
to
2
p.m.
It's
a
Wannamaker
Park
in
North
Charleston.
We
had
a
great
turnout
last
year.
This
is
the
third
year
that
we've
done
this
obviously
to
highlight
issues
associated
with
Hunger
during
the
particular
particular
month.
J
It's
a
family
event
with
lots
of
activities.
There'll
be
some
some
fun
walks
to
do
as
well.
There'll
be
both
a
short
one
and
a
long
longer
one,
but
I'll
shift
Kevin.
If
it's
okay,
I'll
I
can
show
you
a
link
that
you
can
maybe
share
around
just
to
give
a
little
bit
more
information
about
it.
But
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
taking
place
in
September,
perfect.
A
E
E
We
all
the
all
this
all
this
changing
we're
gonna
have
a
big
diagnostic
type,
Imaging
lab
type,
what
not
out
of
Mount
Pleasant
as
well,
that's
starting
soon,
so
we're
we're
expanding
we're
growing,
our
wings
and
and
also
too,
but
from
what
she
said.
They
said
earlier
with
Narcan
it's
any
of
our
ERS
as
well,
or
our
transitions
Clinic,
which
is
on
on
Rivers
Avenue
at
the
Mark
Clark
overpass.
That's
also
to
a
place.
E
You
can
go
to
get
Narcan
as
well
and
we
we're
trying
to
trying
to
get
a
little
better
in
the
hospital
with
our
community
as
well.
That's
why
I
was
wanted
to
talk
with
her
to
try
to
expand
that
but
yeah
we
we
have
a
lot
of
different
things
that
represent
Francis
is
opening
up
and
we
just
Coastal
Cardiology,
just
joined,
represent
Francis
that
they're
part
of
a
they're
now
broker
state,
for
instance,
position
Partners
as
of
two
days
ago.
E
A
Great
well,
thank
you
very
much.
Anyone
else
with
a
community
update,
well,
listen,
I,
sure,
appreciate
everybody's
time.
Good
meeting,
very
important
information
and
I
know
everybody
on
here.
Your
time
is
extremely
valuable.
So
I
appreciate
you
giving
an
hour
of
your
time
to
help
the
City
of
Charleston
and
this
and
this
health
and
wellness
committee.
So
it's
very,
very
important
to
us
and
and
I
really
appreciate
the
time
and
the
expertise
that
you
share
to
help
the
City
of
Charleston
be
healthier,
so
I
appreciate
it.
