City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Committee (Virtual) 6/2/2021
A
Okay
sounds
good
all
right,
we'll
have
to
call
to
order
the
wednesday
june
2nd
2021
meeting
of
the
city
of
charleston
health
and
wellness
advisory
committee.
Thank
all
of
you
for
taking
time
out
of
your
busy
schedules
early
in
the
morning
to
join
us
and
as
we
normally
do-
and
this
is
probably
good
for
all
of
our
souls-
we'll
begin
with
a
moment
of
silence.
A
A
Thank
you
we'll
hold
off
for
a
minute
paul
on
agenda
item
number
two,
which
is
introductory
introduction
of
the
new
advisory
committee.
Members.
Next
is
approval
of
the
minutes
from
may
5th.
2021.
hope
you
all
had
a
chance
to
look
at
them.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
move?
We
approve
got
a
moose,
oh
the
mayor,
most
of
us
made
the
motion:
do
we
have
morning.
A
One
mayor:
do
we
have
a
second?
I
did
all
right,
there's
a
second
from
kimbo
any
additions
deletions
all
in
favor,
aye,
all
right
suppose
the
eyes
have
it
paul.
I'm
gonna
move
down
to
number
four
we'll
wait
till
the
introduction
until
kevin
gets
on.
If
that's,
okay
with
you,
okay,
okay!
Next
is
our
fast
track.
Cities
update
dr
richardson
and
aaron
o'brien.
I
see
dr
richardson
here
against
everybody,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
y'all.
A
B
E
E
E
Hopefully,
that's
on
slide
two.
So
when
we
talk
about
fast
track
cities
to
ending
the
hiv
epidemic,
we
are
really
concentrating
on
what
we
call
90
90
90
goals,
and
that
begins
the
first
90
is
of
those
who
are
people
living
with
hiv.
How
many
have
been
diagnosed?
How
many
people
know
that
they
are
infected,
so
the
this
first
three
sort
of
bars
look
at
2018,
2019
and
2020
in
that
order.
E
The
fourth
group
is
those
on
antiretroviral
therapy.
So
that's
the
therapy
used
to
treat
hiv
and
the
last
is
those
who
are
virally
suppressed,
which
basically
means
that
their
hiv
is
being
managed
such
that
they
are
not
able
to
transmit
the
virus
to
others,
so
their
viral
load
is
undetectable
for
hiv
and
basically,
what
stands
out
here.
E
The
gray
bar
for
retaining
care
is
lower
for
2020.
and
that's
not
totally
unexpected.
Many
of
us
probably
have
not
seen
our
providers
during
covid
and
and
even
it
is
possible
that
that
those
living
with
hiv
saw
a
provider
but
did
not
get
labs,
because
that
would
have
sort
of
involved
going
into
a
lab,
as
opposed
to
turning
on
your
phone
or
computer,
to
have
that
virtual
visit,
but
nonetheless
that's
something
with
hiv
that
that
we
certainly
hope
prove
this
year.
E
So
this
really
goes
to
the
percentages
so
90
99.
It
means
that
we
want
each
of
these
blocks
to
be
at
least
at
the
90
percentile
mark
and
again.
These
are
the
390s
that
I
just
spoke
about
and
and
looking
at
these,
comparing
2019
and
2020
again,
what
we
see
is
those
retained
in
care.
Having
decreased
the
middle
numbers
having
decreased
for
2020
over
2019,
but
those
that
are
virally
suppressed,
having
been
increased.
E
E
They
still
may
have
seen
a
provider,
but
this
is
is
what
d
hack
uses
as
as
the
metric
for,
because
you
need
to
continue
to
check
the
viral
load
to
to
know
that
it
continues
to
be
undetectable
and
so
in
charleston,
county
dhec
estimates
that
we
have
743
individuals
living
with
hiv,
who
have
not
seen
a
provider
in
the
last
13
months,
and
that
is
one
of
the
highest
in
the
state.
Only
richland
county
has
a
higher
number
than
charleston
for
this.
E
Consistently.
That
will
suppress
the
viral
load,
so
we
do
have
a
new
website.
I
encourage
you
to
check
it
out.
It's
called
thefutureisu.org
it
is.
It's
got
a
wonderful
visual
images
to
help
combat
stigma,
to
encourage
those
who
may
be
at
risk
and
really
all
to
get
tested
for
hiv,
if
they've
not
done
so
recently
and
then
to
engage
in
preventive
services
if
they're
negative
or
connect
to
care
linked
to
care.
E
So
it
will
be
comprised
and
led
by
people
living
with
hiv
and
would
be
coordinated
through
trident
united
way,
and
we
are
looking
at
applying
for
a
grant
through
the
robert
wood
johnson
foundation
to
fund
this,
and
should
that
not
work
out
we'll
be
looking
for
for
other
funding
sources
and
then.
Finally,
as
the
the
mayor
brought
up,
I
think
maybe
it
was
two
months
ago
now
or
maybe
more.
E
We
also
want
to
continue
getting
the
message
out
about
undetectable
equals
untransmittable,
so
that
is
sort
of
the
message
going
back
to
that
undetectable
viral
load
and
the
fact
that
if
people
living
with
hiv
adhere
to
their
medications
and
maintain
viral
suppression,
they
cannot
transmit
the
virus
to
others.
This
is
a
powerful
public
health
message
for
people
living
with
hiv
that
encourages
those
living
with
hiv.
E
D
E
Now
you
know
what
we're
not
sure
of
is:
are
those
743
still,
for
instance,
living
in
charleston
county,
so
we
do
try
to
sort
of
clean
up
the
list
by
speaking
to
other
states
trying
to
coordinate
sort
of
you
know
if
someone
has
moved
or
they
have
died,
or
they
might
have
gotten
into
care,
but
somehow
we
didn't
get
their
lab.
You
know
those
might
be
reasons
that
people
would
be
on
the
list
and
the
list
is
updated
quarterly.
So
we
get
a
new
map
quarterly.
E
So
we
are
working
on
this
list.
There
are
some,
as
you
can
imagine,
privacy
issues,
and
so
we
we
do
have
some
difficulty
sort
of
looking
at
this
list
with
our
community
partners
to
ensure
that
some
of
these
folks
may
not
be
on
their
list,
but
it
is
a
reportable.
These
labs
are
reportable
to
dhak.
So
if
someone
is
getting
a
a
cd4
count
or
a
viral
load
done
in
the
community
in
this
state,
it
should
be
reported
to
dhec,
and
we
should
then
be
able
to
take
that
person
off
the
list.
E
D
Well,
let
me
just
suggest
that
anything
we
can
do
to
assist.
Let
us
know-
and
I
see
this
national
testing
day
on
june
27th,
and
I
love
your
little.
U
equals
u
equation!
So
if
you
want
to
plan
something
where
we
do
like
a
little
press
event
and
have
the
display
and
announce
june
27th,
when
we
get
close
to
that
data,
we'd
be
happy
to
help
arrange
that.
A
E
A
Anything
else
for
dr
richardson
as
we
move
through
the
agenda:
hey
paul.
How
about
take
down
the
screen
share?
I
see
that
councilmember
sheila
has
joined
us.
This
seems
like
a
good
and
appropriate
time
to
introduce
the
new
members
of
our
committee.
I'm
sure
the
mayor
will
have
a
few
words
of
advice,
encouragement
and
wisdom
for
them,
so
rudely
and
in
a
moment
of
complete
unpreparedness.
G
Thank
you,
councilman
speaking,
it's
appreciated.
I
apologize,
I'm
very
sorry
that
that
I
signed
on
a
few
minutes
late
and
I
appreciate
councilman
sieging's
picking
up
and
and
taking
control
and
and
getting
this
meeting
rolling
because
we
got
a
lot
on
the
agenda
as
you
know,
and
but
we
are
an
exciting
time
for
our
committee.
We
have
some
new
members
coming
on
many.
We
say
our
new
members
but
have
filled
in
and
done.
Such
great
work
on
here,
they're
really
not
new
to
our
committee,
but
but
it
is
exciting.
G
We
have
some
some
top-notch
people
on
our
committee.
That's
gonna,
they're
gonna
do
some
great
things
for
us.
So
if
you
don't
mind
what
I
will
do
is
call
on
each
of
our
new
committee
members.
If
you
would
just
give
us
a
little
bit
of
information
about
yourself,
so
we
can
kind
of
get
to
know
you
so
I'll
start
off
with
quentin
tompkins.
Please.
C
Good
morning
councilman
sheedley
mayor
councilman
seakins.
Thank
you
all
for
having
us.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
join
this
distinguished
group.
My
name
is
clinton
tompkins.
I
work
for
the
medical
university
of
south
carolina.
I've
been
here
for
about
five
years
and
done
a
lot
of
great
work
with
paul
and
some
other
initiatives
and
some
other
efforts
with
councilman
seekings
as
well
as
the
mayor.
C
So
I
feel
like
I'm
not
a
stranger
to
you
all,
but
my
traditional
role
at
musc
is
government
affairs,
but
over
the
past
five
years
that
I've
been
here
I've.
My
background
is
in
public
health,
so
I've
done
a
lot
of
work
with
outreach
and
within
the
community,
and
over
this
past
year
I've
been
leading
up
a
lot
of
the
covet
testing
and
vaccination
efforts
for
musc
throughout
the
state.
G
H
Thank
you
work.
Actually,
a
charleston
native
born
at
roper
hospital
did
go
to
wando,
so
don't
hold
that
against
me
and
I
have
through
through
the
ranks
of
musc
and
citadel
and
and
whatnot.
I
do
work
here
at
rover
saint
francis
hospital.
I
work
in
the
pain
management
department
run
that
in
neurodiagnostics
within
the
hospital-
and
I
just
I've
already
been
like
I'm
kevin
j
with
here
in
this
committee
for
for
a
couple
years
now,
I'm
through
mark
and
it's
it's-
it's
been
a
real
eye-opener.
H
I
I
love
seeing
seeing
the
city
at
work
and
seeing
what
we
can
do
for
the
city
of
charleston,
it's
home,
obviously,
and
it's
it's
just
just
been
a
great
eye-opener
and
an
awesome
spectacle
just
to
watch
and
be
a
part
of
and
everybody's
just
been
amazingly
helpful.
I've
been
on
committee,
with
with
katie
and
and
joey
is
amazing.
G
G
E
Thank
you
all.
So
I
have
had
the
pleasure
of
being
on
this
committee
for
my
boss,
taylor,
lee
our
health
director
for
some
time,
and
he
has
graciously
allowed
me
to
now
become
the
official
member,
so
I'm
the
medical
director
for
the
lowcountry
region
of
dhak.
That
means
I'm
the
physician
for
11
counties
and
sort
of
the
bottom
quarter
of
the
state
and
I'm
a
family
physician
by
training
worked
at
community
health
centers
and
some
free
medical
clinics
in
the
charleston
area
prior
to
joining
dhec.
I
G
J
I
take
care
of
children
at
musc
children's
hospital
where
I'm
an
associate
professor
of
pediatrics,
I'm
also
the
director
of
advocacy
for
our
department
of
pediatrics
and
I'm
here
officially
representing
the
charleston
county
medical
society
and
in
that
group
I'm
really
active
on
the
school
health
committee
and,
as
you
all
probably
are
already
aware,
my
personal
and
professional
focus
right
now
is
on
gun
violence
prevention.
So
I
like
to
bring
that
lens
to
this
group
as
well.
So
thank
you.
G
K
Yes,
sir:
hey
councilman,
I
apologize
I'm
at
home
with
some
sick
children
this
morning,
but
I
am
excited
to
be
serving
another
term
with
everyone.
I'm
the
director
of
strategic
engagement
for
the
school
district.
I
work
in
our
division
of
strategy
and
communications
and
within
my
role,
engage
with
all
of
our
community
partners.
Municipal
partners,
internal
and
external
stakeholders
came
along
recently
with
our
nursing
services
department
to
support
all
of
our
vaccination
and
coveted
mitigation
efforts.
G
All
right
well,
thank
you
maggie,
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
was
reappointed
and
councilman.
Seekings
was
also
reappointed
by
city
council
this
past
last
week,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
being
on
here.
I
serve
district
2,
which
is
kind
of
the
western
part
of
west
ashley,
down
glenn
mcconnell
near
west
ashley
high
school,
but
obviously
I
represent
everyone
in
the
city
of
charleston
have
everybody's
concerns
in
mind.
As
I
serve
on
city
council,
and
I
don't
know
if
councilman
seekings
wants
to
say
something,
you're
welcome
to
just.
A
Very
briefly,
thank
you,
council,
member
and
members
of
the
committee.
This
is
one
of
the
things
that
I
look
forward
to
every
other
week
or
every
month.
As
part
of
the
role
that
I
serve
as
city
council,
it's
been
a
really
amazing
committee.
I've
served
on
it
since
the
beginning.
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
reappointing
me
and
council
member
sheila.
I
think
we've
actually
done
some
really
great
work
on
this
committee.
I
can
tell
you
we.
A
G
Right
very
good
and,
as
I
said
I
came
on
late
I
apologize
did
we
approve
the
minutes
from
may
5th.
We
did
okay,
very
good.
Thank
you
very
much
and
yes,
nick
osborne,
okay,
all
right!
So,
let's,
let's
introduce
nick
osborne
nick,
I
oh
I
am
so
very
sorry.
I
did
miss
you
if
nick,
if
you
would
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
yourself.
L
L
I'm
sure
many
of
you
know
but
low
country,
food
bank
and
we
serve
the
10
coastal
communities
in
terms
of
addressing
issues
of
food
insecurity
and
hunger
and,
as
part
of
that
at
work
is
very
much
around
looking
at
the
intersection
between
food
and
other
issues
related
to
health
and
wellness
as
well.
So
it's.
G
Nick
we
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
to
all
of
you
that
give
so
much
time.
I
know
that
this
group,
your
time,
is
extremely
valuable
and
but
the
value
that
you
bring
to
the
city
of
charleston
and
really
the
tri-county
area
is
incredible
for
us
to
have
this
we're
very,
very
fortunate
as
a
city
to
have
this
level
of
expertise
and
your
willingness
to
give
your
time
so
that
we
can
be
a
healthier
city
and
area.
So
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
to
everyone
who
commits
all
their
time.
D
Mr,
mr
chairman,
can
I
add
my
thanks
and
yes
brief,
brief
comment
and
then,
if
I
know
this
may
carry
on
a
while,
but
I
thought
maybe
you'd
continue
around
the
table
here
and
just
have
the
the
members
who
are
returning
just
briefly
introduce
themselves
so
that
the
new
members
know
everybody
else,
but
but
I
just
want
to
make
the
comment
that
just
on
a
personal
basis,
we
talk
a
lot
about
quality
of
life
and
and
there's
nothing
more.
That
impacts
our
personal
quality
of
life
than
our
health
and
our
wellness
right.
D
So
if
you
just
extend
that
concept
to
our
whole
community,
I
believe
it
applies.
I
mean
nothing,
impacts
the
quality
of
life
of
charleston
more
than
the
health
and
wellness
of
our
citizens,
and
so
I
must
comment
on
the
agenda
for
today.
How
happy
I
am,
I
know
dr
richardson
will
agree,
we're
not
talking
about
nova
today,
we're
back
to
the
business
of
of
so
many
things
that
we
had
started
work
on,
like
our
equi
inequity
issues
with
health.
D
If
you
look
at
the
the
map
of
life
expectancy
in
our
region,
the
fast
track
cities
initiative,
the
heat
watch
program
that
we've
got
going
this
summer,
so
this
is
very
exciting
good
work,
great
work.
I
just
want
to
thank
in
advance
for
another
year
for
everyone's
efforts
and
the
incredible
goal
of
improving
health
and
wellness
in
our
city.
B
So
we
got
a
wonderful
person
there
to
to
join
us
and
then
finally,
holly
cut
with
the
ccsd
is
oversees
their
health
and
wellness
programs,
especially
the
scorecard
program
that
looks
at
wellness
in
the
schools
and
she's.
Also
in
here
you
know,
we've
got
our
members,
but
we've
got
these
community
support
people
that
really
make
a
big
difference
for
us,
and
I
just
really
want
to
say
thank
you
for
them
joining
us
as
well,
too.
M
Oh
just
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
here,
yep
trident
united
way.
We
worked.
We
worked
closely
with
our
partner
hospitals,
broker
and
musc
to
put
out
a
a
regional
health
improvement
plan
that
includes
the
city
of
charleston
and
I'm
very
excited
to
get
to
help
out
on
the
task
force.
That's
looking
at
life
expectancy,
health
disparities
and
we've
got
some
great
work
ahead
of
us.
Thank.

Hi
everyone,
my
name
is
lisa
burbidge,
I'm
the
owner
and
ceo
of
wellness
five
and
what
we
do
is
corporate
wellness.
We
work
in
the
with
companies
trying
to
improve
the
eating
and
improving
the
nutrition
and
the
moving
more
of
their
employees,
and
also
I
do
some
work
for
the
cdec
through
another
prevention
program
focused
on
preventing
type
2
diabetes.
So
those
are
my
my
focus
areas.
P
F
Hi,
I'm
susan
johnson,
I'm
the
health
promotion
director
at
musc
and
I
serve
as
an
appointed
member.
I
believe
I
represent
the
built
environment
active
living
component
and
I
just
really
love
all
the
collaboration
and,
as
mike
said
before,
he
had
to
jump
off.
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
committees
and
I'm
on
many
that
we
actually
get
a
lot
done
and
it's
really
an
honor
to
be
a
part
of
this
group.
G
Q
Hey
good
morning,
everyone
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
charleston
dorchester
mental
health
center,
so
we're
one
of
the
16
mental
health
centers
in
the
state
or
state
agency.
We
serve
children
and
adults
and
babies
in
all
ages,
and
I've
been
on
member,
I
think,
maybe
five
years
and
and
I
I
ditto
to
what
everyone
else
has
said.
This
is
just
it
is
a
great
group.
We
all
learn
a
lot
from
each
other
and
I'm
really
happy
to
be
part
of
the
group.
So
thank
you
good
morning,
yeah
good.
R
G
S
S
I
am
the
pastor
of
greater
saint
luke
amy
church
78,
gordon
street
downtown
charleston,
and
I
love
serving
there,
and
I
also
love
serving
on
this
committee.
As
I've
served,
I've
been
able
to
disseminate
information,
vital
information
from
this
committee
and
spread
it
through.
You
know,
colleagues,
friends
and
the
religious
sector
and
community
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
be
more
active
side
by
side
with
you
all
going
forward.
G
D
T
That
that's
okay,
I'm
the
beneficiary
of
all
these
good
folks
and
all
this
good
work.
It's
really
amazing
in
the
in
the
20-something
years
that
I've
worked
with
paul
and
worked
at
the
city,
how
parks
and
recreation
has
taken
into
some
new
new
things,
and
I
believe
it's
because
of
the
work
of
this
group.
I
mean
during
covet
just
really
the
connections
to
our
community
through
our
community
centers
and
getting
folks
to
testing
sites
into
vaccination
sites
and
to
get
signed
up
and
get
information
out
mental
health.
T
G
Thank
you
lori.
We
appreciate
all
that
you
do.
Thank
you
so
much
okay,
so
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
again
again,
the
city
of
charleston.
You
know
we
are
extremely
fortunate
to
have
the
people
that
we
have
on
this
committee
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
again.
I
know
your
time
is
very
valuable.
You
do
great
work
in
our
community
and
we
think
thank
you
for
what
you
do
for
the
city
of
charleston
in
our
area.
So
I
think
the
minutes
have
already
been
approved.
Paul.
G
N
Thank
you
again
so
good
morning,
friends
just
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
special
commission,
so
we
finally
have
a
draft
document
that
has
been
submitted
for
review
and
now
we're
just
going
through
that
iterative
process
of
reviews
and
approvals
before
we
can
actually
move
those
recommendations
down
to
the
public.
So
right
now
it's
under
review
by
the
commission.
N
So
I
suspect
just
knowing
administrative
processes
that
this
will
take
many
weeks
and
some
months,
but
as
we
have
more
information
available
I'll,
be
sure
to
share
it
with
this
committee
and
with
the
general
public.
So
please
feel
free
to
shoot
me
an
email
if
you
have
any
questions
or
concerns
about
the
specifics
of
that
report.
But
there
are
about
seven
subcommittees
and
of
and
last
month
I
reviewed
exactly
what
was
included
in
that
health
disparities
and
environmental
justice
suggestion
box.
R
Hey
dr
willis,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
great
information
and
we
fortunately
were
able
to
speak
with
you.
I
think,
last
month,
after
our
last
meeting
get
some
more
information
about
verities
in
our
community.
I
wanted
to
find
out
more
about
that
training.
You
were
describing
for
a
county
council
member.
Can
you
tell
us.
N
Dni
training
with
the
city
council
just
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
firm
understanding
and
grounding
on
some
of
the
inequitable
are
the
access
points
that
we
will
discuss
through
those
recommendations
so
that
they
feel
up
to
breasts
on
what
exactly
they're
reviewing
so
right.
Now
we
don't
have
any
firm
details
on
who
that
consultant
will
be
or
what
the
lessons
will
entail,
but
I
do
know
that
they
will
be
comprehensive
and
there
will
be
an
attempt
to
touch
on
all
the
subject.
Matters
presented
in
that
document.
G
F
All
right,
so
our
group,
after
our
last
meeting
paul
and
joey,
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
our
new
city
planner
robert
summerfield,
and
we
had
a
great
conversation
with
him.
We
are
really
excited.
He
seems
to
really
have
a
passion
for
quality
of
life
and
you
know
have
all
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
around
the
built
environment,
transportation,
access
parks.
F
So
I
think
he's
going
to
be
a
great
advocate
for
us.
You
know
other
than
the
introductions
and
just
kind
of
understanding,
his
philosophy
and
what
he
brings
to
the
position.
We
also
kind
of
shared
with
him,
the
our
goals
for
our
health
and
all
policies
group-
and
you
know
in
particular
that
when
we
had
gone
to
city
council,
our
first
step
in
health
and
all
policies
was
to
work
with
the
planning
office
on
integrating
health
into
the
comprehensive
plan.
F
So
I
believe
we,
I
think
joey
provided
a
kind
of
an
overview
of
the
community
input
at
our
last
meeting,
and
so
as
a
follow-up
to
that,
we
asked
robert
some
questions
about
you,
know
kind
of
what
is
the
process
next
steps?
How
can
we
provide
input
and
right
now-
and
I
checked
with
councilman,
seeking
before
our
meeting
he
has
not
and
councilman,
shealy
or
mayor.
You
can
confirm
this
as
well.
F
We
that
y'all
have
not
received
the
draft
and
what
has
been
available
is
not
complete,
but
it
does
give
us
information
on
the
community
feedback
and
some
of
the
priority
areas,
and
so
with
on
our
conversation
with
robert.
You
know
he
asked
us
to
start
sending
him.
You
know
either
some
language
or
some
specific
areas
that
we
would
want
to
see
in
that
plan.
F
So
councilman
seeking
has
said
that
he
would
continue
to
communicate
with
our
group
and
as
soon
as
that
draft
comes
across
his
desk,
that
he
would
let
us
know
and
then,
as
I
understand
it,
it
needs
to
go.
The
draft
needs
to
go
to
city
council
and
I
think
the
goal
was
sometime
in
mid-july,
councilman
shealy
or
our
mayor.
Do
you
have
any
updates
on
that.
F
So
that'll
be
an
opportunity
we'll
continue
to
work
as
a
group
to
even
without
having
access
to
the
full
draft
kind
of
knowing
the
buckets
that
we
can
put
some
ideas
on
paper
and
get
that
to
that
group.
But
I
think
once
once
the
draft
has
been
presented,
then
we'll
have
the
opportunity
to
give
some
more
specific
feedback.
B
E
B
E
Yeah,
the
last
part
is
that
we
are
working
on
data
agreement
with
vital
statistics
so
that
we
can
develop
our
own.
That,
though,
the
life
expectancy
disparity
data
came
from
the
robert
wood
johnson
foundation,
but
we
don't
have
assurances
that
it
will
continue
on
a
regular
basis
going
forward.
So
dhec
is
working
on
a
on
a
mechanism
for
us
to
continue
to
be
able
to
produce
that
data,
so
that
we'll
be
able
to
use
it
to
evaluate
our
efforts
on
on
reducing
these
disparities.
Going
forward.
D
So
I
I
met
last
week
with
county
chairperson,
teddy
pryor,
who
also
works
for
the
city
of
north
charleston
and
and
I've
shared
this
information
so
that,
as
we
move
forward
with
some
specifics
about
how
to
address
those
areas,
particularly
those
that
are
in
the
60s
there,
that
we
include
the
city
of
north
charleston
and
charleston
county
along
with
all
of
you
here
that
this
become
a
real
focused.
Community-Wide
effort.
G
F
But
we
engaged
with
the
city
grant
writer
and
I
don't
know
if
she's
already
left
for
maternity
leave,
but
we
were
able
to
actually
get
pull
a
meeting
together
with
her
on
may
17th
to
review
the
rfp
and
all
agreed
to
move
forward
with
it.
Paul
then
presented
this
to
the
mayor
and
got
his
blessing
for
us
to
move
forward
with
it
as
well,
so
real
high
level.
F
F
The
grant
our
proposal
is
due
on
july
6th.
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
really
quick
turnaround,
but
several
of
us
got
on
the
information
webinar
and
fortunately
it's
it's
not
a
huge
proposal
in
terms
of
the
requirements.
The
narrative
is
about
six
pages
and
we
already
feel
like.
We
have
a
lot
of
folks
in
place
that
can
help
pull
this
off
and
in
particular
I
want
to
thank
joey
and
his
colleague
renee,
who
have
offered
to
kind
of
take
the
lead.
Since
sarah
is
out
on
maternity
leave.
F
F
So
we
really
feel
like
we're
well
positioned
and
we're
going
to
do
everything
that
we
can
to
put
the
best
effort
towards
this
proposal
and
hopefully
win
it
for
the
city,
and
we
also
believe
if
we're
awarded
it
starts
september
30th,
and
it's
a
12-month
grant
that
it
will
really
position
us
for
follow-on
funding
for
the
implementation
of
the
plan.
So
we'll
be
certainly
looking
for
those
opportunities
if
we're
awarded
all
right.
G
B
I
will
add
susan
that
try
to
unite
away
since
our
grant
writer
has
gone
out
on
maternity
leave.
That
trinity
night
away
has
agreed
to
help
us
write
the
grant,
I'm
using
the
information
that
kimberly
and
then
all
been
writing
grants
with
tri
county.
So
we've
got
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good
resources
sitting
there
to
help
us.
Do
it.
It's
a
small
one.
B
G
F
F
We
actually
do
have
two
research
programs
going
on
simultaneously
the
first
one.
This
sisa
heat
research
is
looking
using
wet
globe
temperature
measurements
and
we
are
doing
we'll
be
doing
that
this
summer
with
a
two
study
groups,
one
our
grounds
folks
from
musc
and
then
the
citadel
folks,
so
that
is
that
will
be
happening,
but
the
one
that
I
really
want
to
focus
on
is
the
heat
watch
research,
which
is
the
project
that
we
applied
in
january
and
were
accepted
so
we're
joining
11,
other
states
and
multiple
communities.
F
F
F
F
As
you
can
see,
and
we
are
all
happy
to
to
share
information
about
this
project,
and
then
these
are
existing
extreme
heat
programs
again
just
collecting
that
data
will
support
existing
programs
and,
I
think,
will
position
us
for
additional
grant
opportunities,
as
we
look
at
the
effects
of
climate
change
on
health,
and
these
are
just
the
the
different
routes
that
we're
looking
at.
As
I
had
mentioned,.
J
R
G
E
Well,
I
do
thank
the
mayor
for
for
showing
yes,
that
covet
is
not
on
the
top
of
the
list
of
the
agenda,
but
covet
is
not
totally
gone,
and
I
did
want
to
just
take
a
moment
to
emphasize
that.
Well,
charleston
county
is
leading
the
state
for
the
number
of
complete
or
the
rate
of
completed
vaccinations.
We're
now
49
those
eligible
so
12
and
over
49
have
completed
their
vaccinations.
G
O
I'll
talk,
real
quick,
I
don't
know
if
maggie
does
or
not,
but
as
far
as
health
and
wellness
goes
on
monday,
our
top
winning
school
for
the
whole
wellness
initiative
will
be
announced.
It's
going
to
be
a
surprise
visit
to
their
school.
So
I
cannot
tell
you
who
that
is,
live
on
youtube,
but
keep
keep
a
look
out
on
ccsd
media.
O
O
So
that's
something
to
look
forward
to
coming
next
week
within
the
community,
and
then
we
have
some
other
projects
underway
as
far
as
curriculum
and
community
partners
that
we're
trying
to
develop
to
get
next
year,
life
skills
program
and
some
drug
prevention
programs
that
are
sel
focused.
So
the
students
really
won't
even
know
that
they're
learning
how
to
prevent
drug
abuse
because
it
won't
be
talked
about,
but
that's
what
the
program
is
about.
So
it's
really
cool,
so
we
got
some
cool
things
coming
away
for
our
students
in
charleston
county
and
our
public
schools.
G
K
That's
okay:
I
was
just
gonna
chime
in
and
just
mention
that
we
are
running
regional
vaccine
clinics
for
students
12
to
15
after
school
hours,
as
well
as
we've
hosted
a
few
weekend
clinics
as
well,
so
those
efforts
will
continue
and
that
schedule
is
available
on
our
website
and
then
just
additionally,
as
as
we
go
into
these
last
couple
of
weeks,
we've
got
graduations
coming
up
and
those
are
all
still
being
held
outdoors
in
our
facilities.
Burke
high
school
is
using
johnson,
hey
good.
K
Otherwise,
all
of
our
other
high
schools
will
be
using
our
facilities
with
social
distancing
measures
in
place,
but
also
trying
to
you
know,
with
our
mitigation
strategies,
allow
a
decent
number
of
guests
in
the
safest
way
possible.
So
we're
excited
for
that
and
continuing
our
efforts
on
going
with
vaccinations.
J
Yeah,
just
real
quick
I'll
say
that
friday
is
wear
orange
day
or
gun
violence
awareness
day.
This
is
a
national
event,
so
we'll
be
participating
at
musc.
So
I
encourage
folks
to
go
to
whereorange.org,
to
learn
more
and
to
wear
orange
that
day,
as
we
know
we're
in
the
midst
of
a
gun,
violence
epidemic
in
the
middle
of
our
covet
pandemic
and
the
rates
have
gotten
worse
in
our
city
and
across
the
country.
So
it's
still
an
important
time
to
shine
light
on
that
issue.
I
No
major
updates,
much
of
the
talk
for
us
is
similar
to
a
lot
of
other
colleges
and
universities
in
the
state
about
just
what's
going
to
happen.
Come
fall
in
terms
of
vaccinations
unvaccinations
among
students,
faculty
and
staff,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
that's
going
to
be
dependent
on
if
any
of
the
vaccines
ever
get
to
full
authorization
by
the
cdc
and
such.
So.
I
A
lot
of
that
is
the
central
talk
right
now,
so
we're
just
going
to
still
give
that
more
time
over
to
summer
and
see
what
comes
about
in
the
fall
only
on
a
major
update
from
the
citadel.
Maybe
I
think
in
mid
or
late
april.
If
anyone
was
aware,
citadel
was
working
on
a
new
policy
change
to
update
our
tobacco
policy
to
allowing
cadets
to
use
smokeless
tobacco
on
campus
starting
in
the
fall.
I
Q
I
do
have
a
couple
quick
ones,
I'll
be
very
fast.
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
remind
this
group
that
our
center
provides
free
mental
health,
first
aid
trainings
to
the
community.
So
we
and
we
do
an
adolescent
class
where
it's
not
for
adolescents,
it's
about
adolescence
and
we
do
an
adult
mental
health
class.
It's
eight
hours
and
we
provide
the
books
and
everything
and
it
helps
people
in
the
community
understand
how
to
recognize
signs
and
symptoms
of
mental
illness
and
what
to
do
if
someone
says
they're,
suicidal
and
things
like
that.
Q
So
if
you
know
anyone
interested,
let
me
know
we
also
have
a
two-week
art
exhibit
going
on
as
part
of
piccolo
spelado.
It's
called
art
of
discovery
and
it's
at
circular
church
and
speaking
of
kids
school
district.
It
is
this
year
we
did
all
youth
art
from
school
district
from
charleston,
county
schools,
dorchester
county
and
throughout
the
whole
low
country,
and
it's
an
amazing
exhibit
it's
at
circular
church,
every
day
until
june
13th
and
it's
open
from
11
to
7
and
it's
a
free
exhibit
and
I'll
tell
you.
Q
If
you
didn't
know
it
was
children
when
you
walked
in,
and
somebody
didn't
tell
you
you
wouldn't
know,
because
this
art
is
amazing,
so
please
stop
by
and
and
see
us
there
and
then.
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
remind
the
group
and-
and
I
can
send
flyers
and
information
on
this
too,
but
our
low
country,
mental
health
conference
is
back
this
year
july,
28th
and
29th,
and
it
will
be
at
the
gill
yard.
We
just
got
news
that
we,
it
is
opened
up
to
a
regular
amount
of
people.
Q
C
No,
I
think
you
know,
has
been
brought
up,
so
that's
the
world
that
we're
still
living
in
right
now,
we're
still
working
with
ccsd
to
help
them
with
their
efforts.
We've
got
some
things
set
up
outside
of
spelato
trying
to
go
to
where
the
people
are.
The
river
dogs
we're
doing
some
things
outside
of
the
river
dog
stadium
on
a
few
nights,
and
we
still
have
our
dmv
site
downtown
no
appointments
necessary.
C
G
T
T
Excuse
me,
sorry,
because
of
coved,
so
we
are
finally
offering
swim
lessons
this
summer
we
still
have
some
spots
remaining
at
herbert
hazel
and
at
and
at
the
james
island,
rec
center
pool,
so
I'm
sorry
hubbard,
hazel
and
mlk
pool.
So
please
share
that
with
the
community
that
we're
we're
teaching
swim
lessons
this
summer.
I
will
also
be
doing
our
summer
lunch
program
that
picks
up
where
the
kids
are
out
of
school.
That
will
begin
on
june
21st.
So
a
lot
of
things
going
on
in
our
community
through
parks
and
rec.
B
E
So
when
those
trials
are
completed,
then
pfizer
moderna,
potentially
janssen
will
apply
for
that
eua
authorization
and
and
pfizer-
and
I
think
moderna
is
just
this
week
applied
for
the
full
fda
approval.
We
don't
have
a
timeline
for
that,
but
we
certainly
hope
it
will.
You
know
be
in
the
next
couple
of
months
that
they
do
get
that
full
fda
approval,
because,
as
kimbo
said
that
I
think
that
that
is
going
to
help
us
to
continue
to
move
the
vaccination
efforts
forward
when
that
approval
comes
through.
F
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to.
I
see
that
nick
osborne
had
to
jump
off,
but
I
wanted
to
just
give
a
shout
out
to
the
lowcountry
food
bank
and
kind
of
to
tag
on
to
what
laurie
said
about
this.
The
summer
feeding
program
we
have,
we
have
a
a
program
called
kids
eat,
free
at
musc
that
we've
been
operating
since
2015,
and
we've
been
able
to
serve
over
15
000
meals
to
children
in
the
summertime
who
are
on
our
campus
for
whatever
reason.
F
Unfortunately,
last
year
because
of
the
visitor
restrictions
we
had
to
pivot
and
we
were
able
to
receive
some
shelf
stable
meals
from
the
food
bank,
and
we
because
we
still
have
restrictions
we
reached
out
to
the
low
country
food
bank
and
they
have
agreed
to
serve
as
our
sponsor
and
vendor,
so
we'll
be
serving
meals
at
our
summit.
Medical
pavilion,
which
is
our
pediatric
outpatient
facility,
as
well
as
sean
jenkins
through
the
food
bank.
So
and
they
again
they
I
think
they
are
serving
11
counties
through
that
usda
summer.
G
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Anyone
else.
Well,
if
there's
nothing
else
for
this
committee,
I
do
want
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much,
a
lot
of
information.
Great
meeting
and
I
appreciate
I
know
we
went
over
a
little
bit
and
I
appreciate
everybody
hanging
in
there
with
us
and
giving
us
your
time
and
and
all
of
your
expertise,
a
great
meeting
and
I
hope,
you'll
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
day
and
the
rest
of
your
week.
So

this
meeting
adjourn.
