Description
City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Committee 11/3/2021
A
All
right
well,
thank
you,
everyone
for
showing
up.
I
will
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
welcome
you
to
our
november
3rd
2021
meeting,
as
some
of
you
got
up
this
morning
walked
out
this
morning,
like
I
did,
you
felt
the
fall
weather
this
morning
looks
like
it's
going
to
get
pretty
chilly
this
coming
weekend.
So
I'm
happy
to
see
everyone
survived
all
the
ghosts
and
goblins
over
the
halloween
weekend,
and
I
appreciate
you
being
here-
I
do
as
paul
was
saying
a
moment
ago.
A
I
do
want
to
apologize
in
advance,
but
I
do
have
to
step
away
a
little
early
from
this
meeting
for
another
obligation
so
just
to
let
you
know
that
up
front
and
a
little
more
housekeeping
too.
Our
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting
is
supposed
to
be
december
1st,
but
we
may
have
a
conflict
with
that,
because
it's
world
aids
day
and
I
believe,
there's
a
breakfast
schedule
that
morning
so
would
anybody
be
opposed
to
us
moving
our
next
meeting
one
week
further
and
to
december
8th
on
wednesday
anybody
opposed
to
that
okay.
A
A
C
C
I
worked
there
for
about
five
years
transferred
over
to
cooper,
and
then
I
found
this
position
also
before
I
went
to
nursing
school.
I
was
a
personal
trainer,
yoga
instructor
and
nutrition
coach
consultant
and
I'd
always
wanted
to
find
a
way
to
put
my
nursing
and
that
you
know
kind
of
lifestyle
wellness
together,
and
I
happened
to
just
see
this
posting
and
you
know
I
thought
it
was
perfect
and
I
got
a
call
back
so
it's
day
three,
but
so
far
it
really
is
such
a
great
fit.
C
I'm
so
excited
to
be
here
and
all
the
things
that
jane
has
put
in
place.
I
think,
are
absolutely
wonderful.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
building
on
those
and
seeing
what
people
want
and
we
can
continue
to
grow
and
you
know
have
everyone
be
happy
and
healthy.
So,
just
looking
forward
to
being
here,
I'm
glad
to
be
able
to
be
a
part
of
the
city
I
grew
up
in
and
I'm
yeah
it's
great.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
mary
we're
excited
to
have
you,
and-
and
this
is
a
great
great
committee,
that
we
have
here
of
some
some
great
local
experts
in
their
fields.
And
if
you
don't
mind,
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
each
of
us
would
take
just
maybe
a
minute
or
two
and
introduce
ourselves
and
I'll
just
kind
of
go
around
in
the
order
of
my
screen
and
I'll
call
on
taylor
lee
first,
I
guess.
B
B
My
colleague
dr
richard
here
has
been
attending
and
she
can
attest
that
it's
been
quite
a
busy
time
at
dmacc.
We
are
starting
to
see
some
some
favorable
numbers,
meaning
numbers
going
down,
but
that
is
what
I
do,
and
that
is
what
I've
been
busy
with
just
like
dr
richardson,
and
thank
you
for
for
having
me
back
at
this
meeting
pleasure
to
be
here.
D
Hi
mary
glad
to
have
you
aboard
the
committee,
so
I'm
kimbo
yi,
I'm
a
professor
in
exercise
science
here
at
the
citadel
in
the
department
of
health
and
performance
and
I've
been
part
of
committee,
I
think
since
may
or
june
of
this
year.
So
a
lot
of
my
research
is
on
physical
activity
and
nutrition
as
it
relates
to
overweight
and
obesity.
Youth
populations,
as
well
as
or
could
that's
here
to
sit
down.
E
Sure
happy
to
and
welcome
mary
to
the
city,
we're
glad
to
have
you
on
mike
seeking
charleston
city
council
district,
eight,
along
with
councilmember
sheila,
who
we
should
all
congratulate.
We
both
got
ourselves
reelected
last
night,
so
we're
around
woohoo.
We
went
around
for
another
four
years,
ours,
weren't,
quite
as
dramatic
as
some
of
the
others
you
might
have
read
about
in
the
paper
or
seeing
on
the
news,
but
anyway
love
this
committee.
E
F
H
Good
morning,
everybody
hi
mary
welcome,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
charleston
dorchester
mental
health
center,
and
so
we
serve
charleston
county
and
dorchester
county,
we're
mostly
an
outpatient
facility
for
children
and
adults,
and
but
we
do
have
one
crisis
stabilization
center,
which
is
a
hospital
alternative,
but
we're
kind
of
a
your
mental
health.
Your
mental
health
person
on
the
group.
A
K
M
A
B
A
B
A
B
Laura
yeah,
sorry
about
that,
I'm
trying
to
multitask
and
I'm
not
doing
very
well
good
to
meet
you
mary,
I'm
lori
yarber,
I'm
a
recreation
director
at
the
city
of
charleston.
I
too
do
what
paul
wiederset
tells
me
to
do,
and
I'd
like
to
tell
all
of
you
that
carolyn
murray
is
way
underselling
herself.
She
she
has
been
in
our
pool
almost
every
day
for
the
last,
what
four
months
and
she's
turned
into
quite
the
swimmer.
So
we're
excited
to
have
her
in
our
program.
A
K
A
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
so
that
is
so.
Those
have
been
approved.
Well,
I
guess
we
need
to
vote
on
it
all
in
favor
of
approving
the
minutes.
Please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
the
eyes
have
it.
So,
as
we
move
to
our
next
agenda
item,
I'm
going
to
ask
paul
if
he
would
to
share
the
maps
that
dhak
dhek
produced
for
us
that
shows
the
life
expectancy
in
our
community
and
to
remind
us
of
our
focus
of
health
disparities
throughout
our
community.
A
I
Thank
you
so
good
morning,
again
team.
So
thank
you
paul
for
showing
that
map
that
d
hack
distributed
that,
I
think,
really
sparked
all
of
us.
It
probably
surprised
and
shocked
all
of
us,
because
we
didn't
realize
how
much
disparities
are
really
plaguing
our
region,
despite
having
so
access
to
so
many
resources.
But
it
looks
like
it's
limited
to
just
a
few
so
because
of
the
work
that
we
do
as
a
team
and
another
great
point
for
charleston
is
that
we
work
so
well
together,
collaboratively
between
organizations.
I
Many
of
the
people
are
some
of
the
people
on.
This
call
were
actually
a
part
of
that
subcommittee
within
the
special
commission
that
address
health
disparities
and
environmental
justice.
So
we
were
able
to
make
sure
that
some
things
were
aligned
and
intersect
with
other
plans,
much
like
the
health
in
all
policies.
I
I
Approach
for
city
government
city,
sponsored
programs,
non-profits
and
community
members,
and
so
you
just
heard
from
councilman
shealy
that
that
was
indeed
passed.
So
we
should
start
to
see
more
opportunities
where
health
in
all
policies
is
recognized
not
just
in
the
city
but
with
those
that
they
fund
mary.
This
might
be
of
interest
to
you.
I
So
we
know
that
most
of
our
businesses-
health
focused
businesses,
they
close
at
five,
but
if
you're
working
at
nine
to
five,
it's
going
to
be
hard
for
you
to
get
to
those
agencies,
especially
if
you
cannot
take
time
off.
We
know
that
many
companies
are
going
through
an
employee
shortage.
So,
wouldn't
it
be
awesome
if
one
day
a
week,
our
healthcare
facilities
offered
and
extended
hours,
maybe
operating
until
seven
or
eight
just
to
make
sure
that
we
have
access
available
for
all
those
who
need
it.
I
So
those
were
some
of
the
major
things
that
I
wanted
to
pull
out.
Certainly
you'll
see
here,
180
place,
so
collaborating
with
them
to
make
sure
that
we
fully
understand
the
needs
of
the
homeless
and
develop
some
innovative
solutions.
That's
another
great
one,
that's
on
here,
but
you
guys
have
this
at
your
disposal.
Paul
just
sent
it
out
when
he
sent
the
agenda
and
the
meeting
link.
But
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
all
may.
J
I
I
think
so
paul
just
because
work
is
already
being
done
there.
I
think
it's
easier.
I
know
that
robert
st
francis,
we
have
a
focus
on
diabetes
management
right
now,
so
the
encouraging
healthy
eating
and
physical
activity
would
work
well
within
that
structure,
and
I
know
musc
and
feder,
they
have
strong
focus
on
chronic
disease
management
as
well.
So
I
think
some
of
these
are
low-hanging
fruit
that
we
could
easily
jump
on
and
see
some
significant
impact.
C
What
about
what
is
the
you
know,
working
with
the
homeless
and
that
sort
of
thing
as
far
as
access
to
healthy
foods?
You
know
what
is
there
some
way
that
180
plates
could
I
know
when
we
were
in
nursing
school?
We
did
a
lot
with
them,
but
what
about
like
a
garden
or
something
where
people
would
have
a
way
to?
You
know
they're
participating
in
that
ability
to
eat
healthy
foods
and
learn
about
it
while
they're
doing
it,
which
would
also
be
a
very
low
cost
to
the
city.
C
You
know
and
it
gives
people
access,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
times.
You
know
when
you're
being
given
food,
it's
not
always
the
healthiest
and
if
we
want
to
encourage
healthy
eating,
I
think
we
have
to
have
an
access
point,
so
you
know
maybe
we
could
even
get
volunteers
to
build
a
garden
or
you
know,
help
plant
plants
or
have
someone
come
down
and
do
teachings
or
something
like
that?
I
don't
know
you
know.
I
Eat
them
right,
mary
you're
spot
on,
and
I
know
low
country
food
bank.
They
do
some
classes
when
we
talk
about
healthy
eating
and
how
to
and
opportunities
to
explore
new
vegetable
options.
They
do
a
lot
of
that,
but
it
would
be
amazing
if
we
could
start
a
garden
downtown.
I
know
we
have
maybe
one
or
two
in
north
charleston
those
community
gardens,
so
it's
not
novel
to
our
region,
but
certainly
something
that
we
don't
have
on
the
peninsula
right
now
and
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong.
C
I
don't
believe
so.
I
know
you
know.
I
mean
we're
just
lucky
that
we
have
such
a
you
know,
weather,
where
we
can
basically
grow
all
year
long,
and
I
think
that
there
are
probably
a
lot
of
there's
a
little.
You
know
garden,
centers
and
stuff,
or
I
know,
there's
one
lady
named
rita's
read
sound.
If
you
guys
have
ever
heard
of
that
she's
up
on
meeting
street
and
has
a
big
container
store,
you
know,
maybe
we
could
engage
them
in
the
community
to
help
grow
or
do
cheap.
H
L
There
are
quite
a
lot
of
organizations
out
there
in
our
community
that
are
already
focusing
on
providing
support
to
encouraging
urban
gardens
and,
for
example,
the
greenheart
project
is
an
organization
that
we've
been
engaging
with
quite
a
bit
and
they
do
some
tremendous
work
both
in
terms
of
urban
gardens,
both
working
with
through
the
education
system.
But
how
that
can
then
expand
out
into
the
surrounding
communities
as
well.
L
L
I
mean
they
have
a
an
urban
garden
here
in
the
city
that
has
been
established
and
has
environmental
benefits
as
well,
because
it
provides
the
opportunity
for
an
environment
for
seniors
who
live
in
the
area
to
to
actually
have
better
access
to
an
environment,
that's
much
more
friendly,
more
conducive
than
it
was
before
as
well.
So
so
I
would
certainly
recommend
would
agree
with.
What's
being
said,
and
and
as
I
said,
we've
been
engaging
with
the
green
heart
project.
L
K
K
But
alan
actually
goes
to
the
encampments.
The
the
hidden
places
where
homeless
people
are
are
are
living
and,
and
there
are
quite
a
few
of
them
around
not
like
tent
city
used
to
be
but
twos
and
threes
and
allen
knows
where
all
these
places
are
and
he's
an
amazing
guy
he's
a
retired
guy.
He
used
to
be
like
a
not
a
doctor,
but
a
you
know:
emergency
empty
em,
a
medical
guy
and
he's
he's
been
doing
this
all
on
his
own
and
now
we've
got
him
connected
with
msc.
K
K
K
The
other
thing
that
the
overall
goal
here
is
is
the
life
expectancy
right
and
thankfully,
dr
richardson
and
d
heck
do
a
good
job
of
keeping
up
with
those
statistics
and
all
so
so
I
would
challenge
us
to
prioritize
those
things
that
that
we
and-
and
I
say
we
I
mean
mostly-
the
professionals
here-
think-
will
make
the
most
impact
on
that
life
expectancy
number,
and
let's
focus
on
that.
If
there's
something
that
can
you
know,
move
that
needle
move
that
dial
a
little
bit.
I
So
the
health
in
our
policies
is
a
big
shift
anyway,
because
it's
a
systemic
shift
right
and
making
sure
that
everyone
is
focused
on
health
and
everything
that
they
do
and
then
the
healthy
eating
and
physical
activity
is
less
about
education
and
more
about
structural
changes,
which
I
also
think
would
garner
some
true
impact
in
how
people
move
for
everything
that
you
just
said.
People
make
decisions
based
people
make
choices
based
on
the
choices
that
they
have
available,
and
so
we
can
start
to
provide
more
healthy
options.
Sidewalks
in
their
areas.
I
K
I
Yeah,
so
maybe
paul
at
another
time
or
during
another
meeting
time
we
can
really
dissect,
and
you
guys
you
all,
have
time
to
review
the
strategies
that
were
proposed.
And
then
we
can
come
back
to
this
large
group
and
determine
which
are
indeed
the
most
impactful
and
feasible
that
we
could
all
commit
to
collectively
through
our
organizations
and
individually
and
then
start
to
strategize
or
build
out.
What
additional
metrics
could
be
to
make
sure
that
we're
indeed
moving
the
needle
on
the
goal.
I
B
K
I
A
I
J
Well,
I
just,
and
I
think
it's
a
good
question
carol.
I
think
I
want
to
get
healthy,
tri-county
engaged
in
this
as
well,
because
they
were
at
the
table
with
us
and
everything
we've
discussed
and
so
together.
Is
that
we're
all
working
in
the
same
areas,
I
think
giving
us
more
time
to
be
more
unified,
we'll
be
better
to
in
what
our
numbers
look
like.
I
F
Thank
you.
So
I
have
a
few
updates.
Thank
you
for
changing
the
meeting
in
december.
I
did
want
to
expound
on
that
a
little
bit
december.
1St
is
traditionally
world
aids
day
celebrating
and
we
in
the
low
country,
in
conjunction
with
the
fast
track
cities
initiative
the
mayor,
tecklenberg,
signed
charleston
two
several
years
ago,
we
will
host
two
events
on
that
day.
The
theme
this
year
will
be
reflections
on
40
years
of
hiv.
F
F
I
will
share
that
registration
information
with
paul
to
share
with
this
group
once
it's
available,
but
I'd
love
for
any
of
you
interested
to
attend,
and
that
will
be
that
wednesday
december
1st,
following
that
in
the
evening
our
traditional
world
aids
day
vigil
will
occur
from
6
30
to
7
30
pm.
That,
too,
will
be
virtual.
The
speakers
and
entertainment
will
be
live
at
the
unitarian
church,
which
is
our
traditional
venue
for
that.
F
Moving
on
to
to
flu.
We
don't
want
to
forget
flu
vaccines
and
the
possibility
that
we
could
have
a
twin
dimmick
this
year.
That's
because
we
had
very
low
numbers
of
flu
infections
last
year.
Thankfully,
we
believe
that's
due
to
the
preventive
measures
being
taken
to
control
the
spread
of
coven,
so
we
are
very
much
recommending
that
anyone
and
everyone
go
out
and
get
your
flu
vaccine.
Those
are
available
at
pharmacies
at
your
own
provider.
F
We
have
not
seen
much
flu
activity
yet
in
south
carolina
to
date,
but
the
flu
vaccine
does
take
two
weeks
to
become
effective,
so
we're
definitely
recommending
you
go
ahead
and
get
the
flu
vaccine
at
this
time.
And
finally,
it's
been
a
long
time
since
cobit
has
not
been
on
the
agenda
for
this
meeting,
and
that
does
continue.
F
We
have
some
great
news
from
this
morning.
The
cdc
has
now
officially
recommended
the
pfizer
vaccine
at
a
third
of
the
dose
given
to
those
12
and
over
four
children
ages.
Five
to
11.
that
was
just
released
this
morning,
so
pediatric
providers,
including
hospitals,
pharmacies,
pediatrician
offices,
our
fqhcs,
are
able
to
begin
giving
that
vaccine.
F
But
I
do
want
to
remind
everyone
that
it
is
still
the
second
leading
cause
of
death
in
the
united
states,
as
of
october
of
this
year,
only
trailing
heart
disease.
So,
while
our
numbers
are
going
down,
it
is
still
the
lead
above
cancer
above
accidents,
strokes
for
cause
of
death
here
across
the
united
states.
F
So
this
is
not
just
an
a
risky
action
for
those
who
are
oldest
and
not
only
that.
But
when
we
talk
again
about
this
five
to
eleven
age
group
covid
was
among
the
top
ten
causes
of
death
for
those
ages,
five
to
fourteen
most
months
of
this
year,
so
generally
not
as
risky
for
children
but
certainly
can
be.
We
have
now
a
very
effective
and
safe
vaccine.
F
We
saw
a
study
earlier
that
we
talked
about
at
a
previous
meeting
out
of
israel
that
suggested
that
that
perhaps
they
were
more
similar,
but
this
study
really
looked
among
hospitalized
patients
with
a
previous
infection
or
vaccination
nine
to
100
days
earlier,
and
and
as
I
said
before,
you
know,
adolescents,
not
only
those
you
know,
five
to
11,
but
those
that
have
already
been
approved.
12
and
up
93
reduced
risk
with
vaccination
for
hospitalizations
among
adolescents,
and
I
think
I
will
we'll
stop
there.
F
There's
some
good
information
on
the
cdc
website.
They've
come
up
increasingly
with
great
infographics
that
can
be
used
on
your
social
media,
lots
of
information
on
how
to
talk
to
parents
about
the
vaccine,
good
information
about
you
know
what
is
it
that
parents
are
most
concerned
about
with
the
vaccine?
F
Those
from
a
recent
kaiser
family
foundation
study
really
looked
at
it,
as
percent
of
parents
of
children,
five
to
11,
who
say
they
are
very
or
somewhat
concerned
about
the
following.
The
highest
was
not
enough
is
known
about
the
long-term
effects
of
the
covid19
vaccine
in
children.
That
certainly
is
the
case.
F
The
vaccine
has
not
been
around
long
term,
so
we
cannot
know
the
long-term
effects
we
are
increasingly
seeing
is
what
are
the
long-term
effects
of
cova
disease
oblong
coded
and
of
the
changes
that
are
potentially
happening
to
the
genetic
makeup
of
those
who
have
been
infected
with
viral
infections.
We
know
that
viruses
have
increased
risk
of
cancers,
and
we
certainly
have
no
reason
to
believe
that
this
one
would
be
different
than
what
we've
seen
with
other
viruses.
F
We
also
know
that
that
many
of
the
of
the
side
effects
that
we
can
can
be
concerned
about
with
the
vaccine,
such
as
myoscarditis.
It
are
much
higher
in
those
who
have
gotten
the
infection.
So
certainly
those
are
some
of
the
sort
of
responses
for
those
most
concerned
with
the
long-term
effects.
Serious
side
effects
of
the
vaccine
came
in
second,
that
their
child
might
experience
this.
What
we
know
to
date
is
that
fever
is
a
little
less
frequent.
F
These
are
the
short-term
side
effects
in,
and
children
compared
to
adults.
We
continue
to
see
that
severe
allergic
reactions
are
rare
and
that
even
in
those
highest
risk
groups
for
myocarditis,
which
are
adolescent
boys,
what
we
see
is
that
myocarditis
is
rare,
it's
mild
and
it
resolves
quickly
in
those
age
groups.
The
third
was,
the
cova
vaccine
might
negatively
impact
their
child's
fertility
in
the
future,
and
really
there
is
no
evidence
to
suggest
that
the
vaccine
affects
fertility
in
adults
or
adolescents.
F
F
F
We're
still
very
grateful
that
the
school
district
is
really
leading
the
state
and
in
mass
use
among
staff
and
students,
and
that's
really
allowing
our
students
as
well
as
those
in
our
working
communities.
You
know
to
be
able
to
continue
to
stay
healthy
and
continue
to
go
to
school
and
work.
So
thanks.
M
F
That's
a
great
question
so
currently
boosters
are
not
recommended
for
those
under
the
age
of
18.
Unless
that
child
is
immunocompromised,
then
a
booster
would
be
recommended
that
that
six
months
is
not
necessary
for
those.
We
really
don't
even
call
it
a
booster.
We
call
it
a
third
dose
for
those
who
are
immunocompromised.
So
so
we
don't
know
when
there
might
be
a
recommendation
for
children.
F
So,
even
in
younger
adults,
it
may
be
used
in
those
18
and
over
with
a
chronic
medical
condition
and
it
may
be
used
in
those
who
have
an
increased
occupational
risk,
but
there's
not
a
strong
recommendation
even
for
those
groups,
and
so
I
think
we
would
see
that
first
following
the
science
and
only
then
would
we
begin
to
talk
about
younger
children
and
the
need
for
a
booster
so
more
to
come
on
that
great
question.
Carolyn.
B
K
That's
the
logical
place
to
catch
all
the
kids,
but
if
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
like
have
mass
inocul
vaccination
in
the
school
it,
it
really
will
add
the
impetus
or
the
the
challenge
for
us
to
get
the
word
out
to
parents
and
through
our
clinics
and
other
venues,
to
get
the
vaccinations
out.
Does
anybody
know
about
what
the
schools
will
do.
F
G
Yeah
we've
worked
out
a
plan
with
charleston,
with
ccsd
in
particular
to
hold
some
mass
events
in
the
evening
hours
at
the
schools
where
the
parents,
because
the
parents
have
to
be
present
with
the
kids.
So
there
is
a
campaign
to
capture
those
folks,
five
to
eleven
that
are
interested
in
getting
shots.
We're
also
getting
calls
from
around
the
state
because
again,
we're
still
traveling
around
the
state
and
providing
vaccines
throughout
all
46
counties.
K
F
Suggest
maybe
putting
in
a
plug
also
for
the
backs
locator.
So
that's
on
the
website
and
that's
the
way
that
parents,
in
addition
to
what's
available
through
musc,
can
see
for
all
vaccine
sites
who
would
be
able
to
accept.
You
know
children,
ages,
5
to
11
as
well
as
older
groups,
and
they
could
also
make
appointments
generally
through
links
on
the
backs.
Locator.
K
J
F
So
you
may
get
it
as
soon
as
after
your
your
isolation
period.
So
that's
usually
10
days
from
the
time
you're
diagnosed
or
your
symptoms
begin.
That
would
be
the
soonest.
But
generally,
I
think
for
the
you
know.
We
we
believe
that
the
natural
immunity
generally
is
strong
for
at
least
the
first
90
days
after
an
infection
with
covid
and
so
generally,
I
think
it
is
safe
to
wait
that
90
days
or
a
few
days
you
know
before
that,
such
that
it
is
allowed
to
work
at
that
time.
F
But
for
those
who
just
want
to
say,
I
definitely
don't
want
to
get
this
infection
again.
I
didn't
like
it
this
time.
You
can
just
wait
that
10
days
and
get
it
at
that
time,
and
I
wouldn't
wait
longer
than
the
90
days
because,
as
I
said,
it's
just
that
natural
immunity
is
not
enough.
We
do
believe
it's
strong,
but
only
for
the
short
term
and
the
vaccine
really
helps
to
complete
that
immunity
to
increase
the
immune
response
to
be
more
effective
against
variants.
F
We
don't
remem,
recommend
testing
again
in
that
90-day
period,
because
the
pcr
test,
for
instance,
is
a
very
sensitive
test,
so
there
may
be
viral
fragments
still
in
the
nasal
cavity.
That
does
not
mean
the
person
is
infectious
and
it
really
that
that
does
not
change.
That
would
not
change
my
decision
making
about
when
someone
should
get
the
vaccine
and
it
can
complicate
the
picture.
You
know
for
those
who
are
receiving
those
positive
test
results
sort
of
what
it
means.
F
J
J
If
that
will
go
on
to
our
last
item
on
the
agenda,
is
just
community
update?
That's
just
our
quick
run
through
for
each
group,
that's
on
to
just
see,
what's
going
on
any
special
needs,
you
may
have
or
things
that
you're
working
on
that
we
can
help
you
in
as
to
get
the
word
out
on
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
jennifer.
If
you
talk
to
us
about
mental
health.
H
H
So
I
wanted
to
just
update
you,
since
we
were
talking
about
health
disparities
and
what
we're
doing
it's
almost
been
four
years
today
that
we
started
the
pharmacy
program
with
a
group
of
different
folks
and
we
go
out
every
wednesday
to
mall
park
and
give
out
from
free
fruits
and
vegetables
to
folks.
So
the
food
bank's
been
a
big
part
of
it
and
right
now
I
think
roper
is
still
doing
it.
Mental
health
charleston
center
federer
is
coming
back
access.
H
Health
is
part
of
it,
but
we
we've
been
doing
it
for
four
years
and
we
just
added
a
new
site.
So
we're
going
to
columbus
street
from
I
think
three
to
four
on
wednesday
afternoons
and
now
we're
going
to
32
flood
street
because
we
we
have
started.
We
have
a
person
now
embedded
in
the
housing
authority,
so
we're
giving
out
free
food,
fruit
and
vegetables.
There
also-
and
I
know
you
guys
mentioned-
giving
out
vaccine
and
information
through
the
housing
authority.
H
So
if
you
want
to
somehow
get
me
information,
I
can
give
it
to
our
group
and
we
can
put
the
information
out
because
we
also
give
out
health
care
information
because
we're
trying
to
obviously
get
people
hooked
up
to
mental
health,
treatment,
drug
and
alcohol
treatment,
primary
care
treatment,
and
so
it's
it's.
It's
been
a
great
four-year
thing
when
we
started
it
with
the
police
department
and
it's
their
pharmacy
van,
but
we
got
it
covered.
So
I
didn't
know
if
y'all
seen
the
band.
J
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
toot
the
horn
of
that.
That
was
something
that
the
police
department
called
on
the
community
to
help
them
four
years
ago.
The
how
they
could
the
the
chief
was
looking
at
the
help,
despite
where
his
crime
issues
were
in
communities,
and
he
realized
that
you
can't
help
people
until
you
at
least
address
the
items
of
the
health
and
mental
health
and
getting
people
to
learn
to
talk
to
each
other.
J
So
it
was
a
great
opportunity
that
the
local
health
community,
that
all
the
groups
you
just
mentioned,
teamed
up
and
and
the
police
department
was
out
there.
They
just
really
wanted
the
reason
for
the
food
and
vegetables
were
to
get
people
to
feel
comfortable
talking
to
coming
in
and
just
talking
first
before.
You
then
provide
medical
assistance
or
health
issues
and
all-
and
it's
been
a
great
great
item
out
there-
I'm
glad
to
see
that
it's
still
continuing.
So
thank
you
for
for
helping
to
be
a
leader
on
that.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
and
yeah.
It's
been,
it
has
been
good
and
it's
been
we've
added
some
people
and
dropped
off
some
people
and
just
hope
to
if
anybody
else
would
like
to
join
us
and
everybody's
welcome
and
or
if
you
just
want
to
give
us
information
to
put
out
there
on
the
tables,
we're
happy
to
do
that
too,
and.
L
Nothing
particularly
for
just
to
say
that,
obviously
we're
coming
into
our
busy
time
of
the
year
with
the
holiday
period
coming
up.
So
obviously
we're
scaling
up
a
lot
of
our
distributions
and
it
will
continue
to
be
busy
over
the
next
couple
of
months
busier
than
it
normally
is,
as
it's
always
busy,
but
obviously
making
sure
that
we
can
get
what
we
need
to
out
into
the
partners
that
we're
working
with.
I
mean,
obviously
the
usual
challenges
that
I
don't
think
anyone
is,
I
think
others
are
facing
as
well.
L
Obviously,
access
to
things
like
turkeys,
for
example,
have
been
been
a
challenge
for
us
in
terms
of
being
able
to
cure
turkeys,
but
also,
obviously,
the
cost
of
transport
and
other
services
continue
to
impact
the
the
cost
of
business,
but
obviously
we're
finding
ways
around
that
and
obviously
working
closely
with
our
partners.
But,
as
I
said,
the
next
couple
of
months
will
be
a
busy
time
of
year
for
us.
K
Nick
while
I
got
you,
I
hope
you
all
don't
mind
me
taking
one
minute.
I
was
at
a
distribution
last
thursday
at
joseph
floyd
manor,
there's
a
group
that
goes
there
on
thursdays,
friends
of
of
joseph
floyd
manor,
and
they
they
told
me
they
lost
their
bread,
a
donor.
It
was,
I
forget,
what
bakery
all
specifically
allow
them
to
get
some
bread
from
you
on
thursday
mornings
to
to
take
down
the
joseph
floyd
manor.
No.
L
K
L
D
Yeah,
so
it's
been
about
a
month
since
the
citadel
removed
its
mandatory
mass
mandate
to
being
indoors
on
campus.
That
decision
was
made
a
month
ago
due
to
our
very
low
active
case
numbers
of
covet,
as
well
as
a
high
percentage
of
the
community
that
was
vaccinated
or
had
natural
immunities.
So
since
then,
as
of
yesterday,
we
have
zero
active
cases,
zero
cases
of
anyone
in
quarantine,
isolation
and
close
contacts,
which
that's
the
first
time.
D
We
need
to
be
very
vigilant
about
increased
transmission
over
the
next
couple
months
with
that
coming
up,
and
then
you
know,
flu
season
is
here,
so
we've
had
some
opportunities
to
provide
the
flu
vaccine
on
campus
to
a
community
and
then
obviously,
if
the
recent
news
about
the
boosters,
I
don't
actually
know
if
we'll
be
planning
something
with
booster
shots
provided
on
campus.
My
guess
is
probably
in
the
future.
I
just
don't
know
when,
but
that's
pretty
much
it
from
here
at
the
citadel.
J
Kimbo,
are
you
doing
anything
special
on
the
community
and
the
obesity
side?
I
was
hearing
articles
on
the
paper
today
about
that
or
in
the
news-
and
I
just
realized
that
you
know
with
all
this
we've
gone
through
co-bid.
How
much
obesity
is
starting
to
be
a
factor
anything
that
you're
doing
locally
or
through
the
civil.
D
Not
actively
right
now
in
the
communities,
but
particularly
hard
to
sort
of
partner
up
with
a
lot
of
the
schools,
just
because
of
tacoma
risk.
So
even
here
at
the
citadel,
when
we
had
our
leadership
day
a
couple
weeks
ago,
we
typically
send
our
entire
freshman
group
out
to
the
schools
to
speak
with
the
kids,
and
we
have
to
increase
risk
with
cove
and
everything
right
now.
We
couldn't
necessarily
do
that
so,
hopefully,
as
the
numbers
get
better,
those
partnerships
and
opportunities
can
be
established
in
the
future.

Here
I
apologize,
I
my
hands
were
soiled.
I
apologize.
I
am
here
always
great
to
hear
such
good
information
and-
and
if
I
may
ask
for
those
of
you
who
want
to
move
forward
with
a
particular
story,
something
that
you've
shared
today-
that
you
believe
is
of
the
utmost
importance
and
needs
to
be
shared
with
the
community.
M
Please
always
let
me
know
you
know
I
try
to
always
make
contact
with
paul
after
our
meetings
and
going
back,
but
if
there's
something
that
you
believe
we
need
to
share
immediately
or
even
in
the
future.
I
ask
that
you,
you
know
just
kind
of
yank
my
chain
on
that.
So
thank
you
always
good
to
be
a
part
of
this
meeting.
J
Well
I'll
share
one
last
item
that
might
be
newsworthy
is
today
the
charleston
healthy
business.
One
challenge
has
a
luncheon
that
the
lieutenant
governor
is
going
to
be
speaking
and
her
topic
is
going
to
be
the
well-being,
women's
health
and
well-being
in
the
workplace,
so
that,
hopefully,
will
be
an
enlightening
and
engaging
conversation
at
lunchtime
today.
J
So
if
you
haven't
got
reservations
and
you
still
want
to
try
to
go,
if
you
holler
at
me
I'll
see
what
we
can
do
to
work
you
out
into
there,
but
but
that's
a
an
exciting
program
that
we
got
going
and
it's
been
very
well
received
and
carolyn
has
spoke
many
times
there
for
us,
so
we're
glad
to
have
her
aboard
all
right.
If
nothing
else,
I
will
thank
everybody.
Remember
we're
going
to
move
our
meeting
to
december
the
8th
so
that
we
can
participate
in
the
december
1st
world
aids
day
mayor.
K

We
got
the
charleston
center,
they
only
have
a
few
spots
over
there
and
it
seemed
like
the
statistics
were
quite
quite
low,
quite
bad
on
us
being
able
to
effectively
help
those
who
were
needing
some
some
attention
on
addiction
issues
and
challenges.
So,
let's
just
maybe
talk
about
that
where
we
are
who's,
doing
what
and
think
about
how
we
might
might
improve
that
a
little
bit
next
year.
