City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Committee (Virtual) 7/7/2021
B
B
Okay
well,
thank
you
paul
and
thank
you
for
everyone
who
has
shown
up
hope.
Everyone
had
a
great
fourth
of
july
weekend
and
we're
halfway
through
2021.
I
can't
believe
it
we're
halfway
we're
on
the
home
stretch
middle
of
the
summer,
so
hopefully
everybody's
having
a
good
summer,
had
a
good
fourth.
The
mayor
has
asked
if
I
would
share
this
committee
throughout
the
rest
of
the
year,
at
least
so,
if
I
hope
everybody's
okay.
With
that,
I
told
him.
B
I
would-
and
I
am
honored
to
do
so-
and
I
appreciate
everybody's
time
on
this
committee
and
everybody
coming
in
and
appreciate
your
expertise
and
what
you
share.
As
I've
said
before.
It
certainly
helps
the
city,
make
great
decisions,
and-
and
we
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
so
we
had
minutes
that
were
sent
out
on
tuesday.
D
B
Okay,
so
those
minutes
there's
been
a
motion
to
approve
those
in
a
second
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,.
E
B
Opposed
all
right,
thank
you
very
much
and
let's
see
is
katie
richardson
on
yet
I
don't
know
that
she
is
all
right,
we'll
we'll
give
that
a
give
that
a
few
minutes,
let's
see
who
else
is
on.
I
tell
you
what
why
don't
we.
B
Why
don't
we
slide
down
to
the
health
in
all
policies,
task
group
update-
because
I
do
see
susan
on
here
and
maybe
we
can
start
from
there
and
we'll
kind
of
work
backwards
on
our
agenda.
Then,
if,
if
you
don't
mind
that,
okay
with
you
paul.
A
And
kevin
yes,
that's
gonna,
be
in
two
parts
because
we
do
have
chloe
stewbert's
going
to
come
on
susan,
a
little
bit
right
after
9
30
when
she's
finished
the
meeting
and
just
put
up
an
update
on
the
city
plan
so
and
and
with
that
I'll.
Just
let
susan
maybe
talk
about
his
behalf,
because
his
health
and
all
policies
have
been
the
city
plan
was
one
part.
Now
it's
been
working
on
the
grant
and
susan's
just
been
trying
to
tie
all
the
strings
together.
So
susan,
you
want
to
add
anything.
D
No,
I
mean,
I
think
you
know
paul.
You
did
a
good
job
of
summarizing
the
focus
of
our
committee,
our
subcommittee.
Initially,
our
focus,
as
we
requested
in
the
document
that
was
approved
by
city
council
back
in
this
early
spring,
was
that
we
would
initiate
a
health
and
all-policy
strategy
with
the
city
plan.
D
So
we
have
been
engaging
with
robbie
in
the
city
planning
group
and
providing
some
recommendations,
and
I
think
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
review
the
the
draft
that's
going
to
city
council
this
month
and
make
sure
that
we
have
the
the
right.
D
Wording
to
make
sure
that
health
and
all
policies
is
represented
in
that
document,
so
we
can
wait
and
kind
of
answer.
Ask
any
questions
further
on
in
the
agenda
and
then
the
other
piece
of
it.
D
So
you
know
what
I
think
I
don't
know
paul.
If
you
have
somebody
else
that
wanted
to
speak
specifically
to
that
proposal
or
the
process,
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
provide
an
overview.
Are
we
going
to
do
a
deeper
dive.
A
We
could
we
could
go
ahead
and
do
a
deeper
dive
on
I'm
going
to
pull
up
just
a
little
bit
of
the
of
what
the
outcomes
that
we
were
working
on.
I
think
I've
got
it.
Let
me
double
check.
Can
y'all.
A
A
A
The
main
things
I
want
to
emphasize
is
over
the
12
month
period.
Here
the
we
hope
to
to
look
at
this
to
build
a
to
build
a
ex
what
they
call
an
accelerator
plan
that
will
take
us
12
months
to
to
look
at
where
we
look
at
the
built
environment
and
food
insecurity
and
nutrition,
and-
and
we
will
build
a
plan
not
only
with
what
we
have
available
through
our
leadership
group,
but
mainly
how
we
can
a
plan
that
we
can
sustain
in
that
community
and
use
in
other
communities.
A
And
and
while
we
we
focus
on
the
neck
area
at
29405.
We
realized
2943,
has
a
lot
of
that
area
goes
deep
into
29403.
So
we're
looking
at
that
area
as
a
whole
to
try
to
address
these.
These
social
determinants
of
health
and
and
that's
what
this
this
plan
was
was
really
built
on.
This
was
to
to
talk
about
how
we
would
bring
the
leadership
group
together
and
what
we'd
be
focusing
on
to
to
try
to
really.
A
F
I
certainly
can
paul
you
gave
a
great
overview,
I'm
just
very
excited
about
this
opportunity
that
this
group
will
have,
because
you
know
it's
it's
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
really
put
a
plan
together
to
you
know
systematically
address
some
of
these,
these
health,
social
determinants
of
health
within
a
specific,
zip
code
right.
F
So
we
we've
talked
in
this
group
several
times
about
the
disparities
and
life
expectancy
that
we
see
across
the
the
city,
zip
codes,
and-
and
this
is
our
one
of
the
strategies-
I
think
that
is
a
strong
way
for
us
to
tackle
those,
and
that
is
to
put
together
a
plan
put
together
a
team
of
interdisciplinary
folks
and
folks
from
the
communities
that
we're
looking
to
to
serve
to
help.
You
know
address
again
the
two
big
social
determinants
of
health.
This
grant
will
help
us
work
towards.
F
Is
the
nutrition
and
the
food
desert
aspect
of
these
communities,
as
well
as
the
built
environment
and
the
in
the
physical
activity
opportunities
that
folks
have,
and
that
was
that
was
strategic,
because
we
know
that
you
know
the
city
can
play
a
very
strong
part
in
helping
to
develop.
F
You
know
those
those
components
through
its
its
transportation
opportunities
and
through
its
just
various
levers
that
the
city
is
able
to
pull
and
so
very
excited
for
us
to
get
to
work
on
this,
and
it
will
be
the
first
step
and
I'm
sure
many
many
steps
towards
our
work
to
address
those
disparities
in
life.
A
And
I
think
I
it's
important
to
add.
We
we
in
part
of
it
we
showed
the
organizational
chart
of
the
entire
city,
because
the
city
has
got
a
lot
of
plans
that
are
have
been
working
from
transportation
to
to
regional
planning,
to
transportation,
to
looking
at
the
housing
of
building
new
housing
units
in
that
area-
and
I
mean
it's
just
there's
so
many
components
that
this
is
opportunity
to
take
those
components
and
look
at
them
of
how
they
relate
specifically
to
the
built
environment,
how
they
relate
to
that
food
and
security.
A
And
how
do
we
make
sure
that
all
those
threads
that
are
going
on
are
working
in
that
same
direction?
That
that
we're
all
pulling
the
pieces
together
to
to
create
that
pathway
to
a
successful
connection,
to
to
really
open
up
opportunity
in
these
areas
to
try
to
knock
down
some
of
these
social
determinants?
So
it's
just
a
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
us.
So
we
know
we're
going
to
be
the
only
given
out
20
awards
of
125
000
around
the
nation
and
they
got
spread
them
out
equally
among
different
groups.
A
But
we
got
a
great
team
here
and
I
hope
that
they
will
take
some
look
at
our
team
and
some
of
our
expertise
and
dr
richardson
was
there
helping
plug
in
we
connected
with
two
different
cdc
programs
that
have
been
being
run
through
the
state
to
give
us
good
partners
that
there
signed
a
letter,
the
one
for
the
block
grants
and
katie
can
maybe
elaborate
on
what
that
all
does,
but
but
it
just
it
just
shows
that
we've
got
partnerships
built
here
and
and
a
way
to
make
a
difference.
A
And
you
know,
even
if
we
don't
get
this
grant,
we
have
now
planted
some
grassroot
opportunity
there
that
could
potentially
we
could
develop
into
something
further,
so
katie
susan,
either
y'all
want
to
jump
in.
E
No,
I
I
just
I
agree
with
what
you
and
joey
both
said.
I
think
I
hope
we
have
a
strong
application.
I
do
think
we
have
a
lot
of
the
foundation
built
and
so
we'll
see
in
september,
but
I
hope
with
or
without
the
money
we
will
find
a
way
to
make
it
happen.
B
Thank
you
and
dr
susan
johnson,
you
have
anything
further
to
add
on
the
grant.
D
No,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
team
for
pulling
it
together.
That
was
a
pretty
quick
turnaround,
as
you
can
imagine,
so
we
really
appreciate
the
support
from
joey
and
renee
kind
of
taking
the
lead
on
that
we
will
find
out
in
september,
but
I
think,
as
paul
and
katie
alluded
to,
even
if
we
we
don't
win,
this
particular
grant
that
we've
put
the
work
in,
and
I
think
you
know
once
we
find
out
either
way.
We
would
want
to
look
for
other
opportunities
for
funding
to
support
our
efforts
in
this
area.
Yeah.
B
Thank
you
to
everybody
for
all
your
work
on
that
outstanding,
and
hopefully
we
get
this
thing.
So
thank
you.
I
guess
we
will
jump
back
up
to
community
health
update
if
dr
katie
richardson's
ready
we'll
go
there.
E
I
first
want
to
publicly
thank
the
mayor,
who
I
think
is
on
the
call,
but
he
joined
us
and
and
led
us
in
an
event
on
friday
june
25th
in
the
council
chamber.
E
I
think
it
was
one
of
the
first
events
back
in
the
chamber
since
the
covid
pandemic
and
basically,
we
gathered
to
commemorate
the
40th
anniversary
of
the
first
cases
of
hiv
here
in
the
u.s
and
to
encourage
people
to
get
hiv
testing
for
national
hiv
testing
day,
which
was
june,
the
27th
and
for
the
mayor
and
partners,
including
federer,
was
there
trident
united
way?
E
Was
there
palmetto
community
care
d,
heck
and
usc
ryan
white
wellness
center,
the
city
of
charleston,
I'm
sure
I'm
leaving
out
others,
but
all
to
speak?
About?
U?
Equals?
U,
and
I
think
I've
spoken
about
that
with
this
group
before,
but
that's
the
on
undetectable
equals
untransmittable.
E
So
for
those
who
are
living
with
hiv,
who
are
on
their
medications
and
have
an
undetectable
viral
load,
they
are
not
able
to
transmit
the
hiv
virus
to
their
sexual
partners,
and
we
believe
that
this
has
a
lot
of
potential
for
decreasing
stigma
in
our
communities
around
those
with
hiv.
So
several
news
outlets
were
there,
and
the
mayor
really
made
a
personal
plea
for
an
increase
in
hiv
testing,
as
well
as
re-linkage
to
care
for
those
who
are
know.
E
They
have
hiv
that
have
fallen
out
of
care
and
then
the
importance
of
you
equals
you
for
our
community.
So
I
wanted
to
start
with
that.
I
did
want
to
say
that
I
and
others
at
dhec
in
the
cdc,
do
have
concerns
with
the
delta
variant.
Just
I
think
in
the
past
day,
or
so,
it
has
now
become
the
dominant
strain
across
the
united
states.
E
We
still
do
not
have
many
sort
of
cases
officially
on
our
dashboard
in
south
carolina,
but
that's
just
because
we
are
still
not
sequencing
very
many
of
the
cases
that
are
being
diagnosed.
But
what
we
do
know
is
that
the
variant
doubled
in
a
week
in
south
carolina
of
those
cases
that
we
are
sequencing,
so
the
good
news
is
that
we
believe
that
the
vaccines
all
three
continue
to
be
effective
against
this
variant.
E
E
E
Missouri
and
other
areas
in
the
u.s
with
similar
vaccination
rates
are
seeing
significant
increases,
not
just
in
infections
but
also
in
hospitalizations
and
and
so
we
are
working
hard
and
would
appreciate
any
help
that
all
of
you
can
give
us
to
help
us
with
your
friends
and
family,
as
well
as
the
community
at
large,
to
help
to
move
those
who
are
still
contemplating
the
vaccine,
but
have
not
yet
decided
that
it
is
time
towards
being
ready
and
receiving
the
vaccine
any
of
the
three
available.
E
Also,
if
they've
only
received
one
vaccine
of
the
pfizer
or
the
modernity
is
very
important
to
get
the
second.
So
one
thing
about
the
delta
variant
is:
it
is
significantly
more
effective
against
the
delta
variant
when
someone
is
fully
vaccinated,
so
they
have
both
doses,
for
instance,
pfizer's
only
33
effective
with
one
dose
against
the
barium
but
88
effective,
and
this
against
symptomatic
infections,
with
both
doses,
and
so
that
is
a
significant
difference
and
we
do
have
a
lot.
E
A
significant
group
here
in
south
carolina
who's
received
one
dose
of
a
two
dose
vaccine
that
has
not
completed
this
series
and
then
I'm
gonna
finish.
Just
talking
about
schools-
and
I
see
maggie
is
on
and
the
school
district
has
been
doing,
a
great
job
working
with
us
and
ella
nips
and
the
nursing
team.
There
themselves
have
worked
hard
to
vaccinate,
not
only
teachers
but
then
sort
of
the
16
to
17
year
olds
and
then
another
group
of
12
and
over
prior
to
school
being
let
out.
E
We
do
believe
that
there
will
not
be
mass
mandates
in
the
fall
for
k-12
schools,
both
from
the
governor's
mandate
back
in
may,
as
well
as
a
proviso
in
the
that
the
legislature
has
passed.
Diet
continues
to
believe
that
it
is
important
for
our
kids,
who
are
not
vaccinated,
as
well
as
others
in
the
school
community
to
wear,
masks
and
and
then
obviously
to
get
those
who
are
eligible
vaccinated
as
soon
as
possible.
E
It
does
take
five
weeks
total
to
be
fully
vaccinated
with
pfizer,
and
so
now
is
really
that
time
for
kids
and
staff
in
our
school
communities
to
get
vaccinated
so
that
they
will
be
fully
vaccinated
by
the
time
that
school
starts.
And,
finally,
we
are
awaiting
the
cdc.
E
We
do
believe
that
they
will
sort
of
revise
or
at
least
review
their
guidance
for
schools
over
the
summer,
and
we
at
dhaka
are
waiting
for
them
to
come
out
with
that
revised
guidance
prior
to
us
sort
of
reviewing
our
guidance
for
the
fall.
I
know
that's
a
tight
timeline
for
the
school
since
we
have
a
shortened
summer,
but
we
are
here
and
that's
that's
the
end
of
my
update.
Sorry,
it
was
a
little
more.
E
Minutes
but
happy
to
take
any
questions.
A
Paul
a
couple
of
questions
on
in
the
43
south
county
vaccine.
Is
there
any
particular
age
group
that
we
need
to
try
to
help
target?
Is
it
the
the
older
ones
seem
to
be
at
a
higher
percentage,
but
but
what?
What
can
we
do
in
those
different
age
groups.
E
Yep
great
question,
so
it
is
sort
of
the
the
20
to
29
and,
I
think,
more
specifically,
probably
the
the
20
to
24
age
group.
That
is
the
least
likely
to
be
vaccinated
at
this
point
in
time.
E
So
there
is
room
for
improvement
in
in
all
age
groups,
are
our
sort
of
oldest
age
groups
are
the
most
vaccinated,
thankfully,
but
but
for
sure
those
sort
of
young
people,
I
think,
is
the
group
that,
if
we're
targeting
you
know
just
one
age,
those
those
sort
of
college
into
that
we
most
need
to
to
try
to
reach.
A
E
We
don't
have
any
as
we
would
like
the
school
district.
I
don't
have
the
numbers
in
front
of
me.
I
think
I
think
maggie
they
felt
like
they
reached
about
10
of
the
of
the
students,
maybe
in
that
12
to
15
age
group,
but
maybe
maggie
can
can
get
it
a
little
closer
and
we
believe
that
the
numbers
are.
E
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me,
but
more
like
in
the
20
to
30
percent
range,
at
least
charleston
county,
which
is
one
of
the
the
counties
with
the
highest
vaccination
rates
for
that
age
group.
But
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
go.
We
don't
believe
that's
anywhere
near
where
we
need
to
be
to
to
make
sure
that
our
kids
are
safe
when
they
return
to
school
in
person.
This
fall
maggie
do
better
numbers
than
than
what
I
remember
from
ellen.
G
Sure
so
I'm
actually
just
pulling
up
a
report,
so
I
can
speak
a
little
more
accurately,
but
I
do
believe
in
our
superintendent's
update
at
last
monday's
board
meeting
that.
G
We
had
in
the
12
in
the
12
year
old
and
older
vaccination,
seven
regional
sites
that
we
did
we
administered
631,
first
doses
and
475
seconds,
so
total
number
of
doses
for
all
ages
and
for
student
vaccinations
were
848
and
741
respectively.
So
I
don't
know
off
the
top
of
my
head:
what
percentage
that
comprises
of
our
students
that
would
be
eligible
within
that
range?
I
mean
that's
pretty
much
all
middle
and
high
schoolers,
so
10
may
be
accurate,
based
on
it
only
being
848.
E
No,
fortunately,
that
that
is
not
a
recommendation.
There's
no
time
limit
at
this
point
in
time
for
getting
that
second
dose.
So
there's
no
reason
that
anyone
will
need
to
start
over
with
that
first
vaccine.
We
do
believe
that
we
have
data
to
show
that
within
those
42
days,
but
I
think
increasingly,
as
we
see
people
get
that
second
dose
even
outside
of
that
42
days,
we
believe
it
will
still
be
an
effective
sort
of
fully
vaccinated
series,
even
if
it
is
past
that
four,
when
the
second
is
administered.
E
So
even
if
you
haven't
gotten
the
second
dose-
and
it's
been
even
a
couple
of
months-
please
please
go
get
it
and
it
should
then
fully
protect
you
against
any
of
the
variants
currently
in
south
carolina.
F
Joey,
hey
dr
richardson,
just
a
quick
question:
if
you
have
any
news
or
any
insights
around
whether
or
not
you
suspect
that
an
annual
booster
will
be
needed
for
coven.
E
There
is
at
this
point
in
time
we
are
not
preparing
for
a
a
booster
so
as
as
far
as
people
have
been
followed
out
from
their
fully
one
or
two
dose
series,
depending
on
the
vaccine,
most
continue
to
have
high
levels
of
antibodies,
and
so
it
may
be
that
as
the
variants
continue
to
mutate
or
the
virus
continues
to
mutate,
there
may
need
to
be
a
sort
of
version,
2.0
and
and
all
of
the
vaccine.
Manufacturers
are
working
on
that.
E
But
we
are
not
yet
at
that
place,
given
the
delta
variant,
it
is
still
susceptible
or
the
vaccines
do
still
protect
against
the
the
delta
variant.
So
so
I
I
think
likely
at
some
point
we
we
may,
we
will
need
a
booster,
but
but
that's
not
at
a
year.
B
It
any
other
questions
for
dr
richardson
or
for
maggie
well.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
report.
We
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
so
much
we'll
move
on
to
number
four
on
our
agenda
and
I
do
see
that
kim
butler
willis
is
with
us
to
give
us
a
report
from
the
health
disparities,
environmental
justice
subcommittee,
the
special
commission
on
equity
inclusion
and
racial
conciliation,
and
if
you
would,
please
give
us
an
update
kim,
thank
you
so
much.
H
Not
a
problem
and
apologies
for
being
late,
so
there
are
no
updates.
We
are
still
exactly
where
we
were
the
last
time
we
met
and
as
more
information
becomes
available
I'll,
be
sure
to
share
it
with
paul
and
I'll
bring
it
to
this
meeting,
but
still
I'm
under
review
and
still
searching
for
that
consultant.
H
No,
you
could
actually
so
paul
sits
on
that
committee
with
me
and
so
does
renee
and
anyone
else
on
this
call
so
renee
from
china
united
way,
so
nothing
right
now,
we've
already
done
the
the
heavy
lift
and
that's
to
get
direct.
The
recommendations
over
to
amber,
amber
johnson
is
the
manager
at
the
city,
and
so
now
it's
up
to
the
city.
So
once
that
comes
back
to
us
with
any
potential
edits
or
even
consultation
with
the
consultant
vegetables,
and
then
we
should
have
more
work
to
do,
but.
H
Out
those
recommendations,
if
paul,
I
can
send
them
to
you
to
send
out
to
the
team
just
to
make
sure
that
everyone
knows
what
was
indeed
recommended
to
city
council.
A
I
think
that's
important
because
you,
you
really
tackled
two
things:
health
disparities
and
you
also
tackled
environmental
justice
and
so
there's
some
discussion
in
the
resiliency
part
and
as
well
as
as
looking
at
some
of
the
same
items
we
addressed
in
this
grant
that
we
just
wrote.
So
so
I
think
it's
important.
So
if
you
send
it
out
make
sure
it
gets
out
to
everybody.
B
Okay,
thank
you
kim
appreciate
it.
I
don't
believe
chloe's
on
yet
chloe
stooper
are
you
on
yet
I
don't
believe
so.
D
Sure
I
did
send
a
handout
for
volunteers,
an
faq
to
paul
said
paul.
If
you,
I
don't
know,
if
you
can
pull
it
up
and
if
not,
I
can
just
if
we
can
just
send
that
out
to
the
group,
but
I
have
shared
with
this
committee
that
our
carolinas
heat
health
coalition
and
specifically
some
group
some
partners
in
charleston,
applied
for
and
won
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
noaa
heat
watch
along
with
21
other
cities
across
the
country.
D
So
we
have
been
working
with
our
local
noaa
folks
to
determine
the
best
day,
because
there
is
a
one
day,
data
collection
as
part
of
the
study,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
looking
at
weather
and-
and
we
want
to
try
and
have
that
day,
be
one
that
is
reflective
of
the
heat
that
we
experience
in
charleston
in
the
summer.
We're
also
being
very
strategic
about
the
routes
of
data
collection.
D
D
D
Our
target
date
is
on
a
saturday
july
31st,
but
we
kind
of
have
left
that
week
open
just
in
case
we
end
up
with
a
tropical
storm
or
something
else
that
we
will
need
to
move,
but
it
basically
to
volunteer
this
handout,
describes
it
it's
a
commitment
of
three
hours
of
driving
or
riding
in
a
car
with
the
device
that
is,
you
can
see
in
that
picture
that
is
provided
by
noaa,
so
that
is
attached
to
the
passenger
window.
D
You
can
either
be
the
navigator
and
sit
on
the
passenger
side
or
driver,
and
each
team
will
have
a
set
route
that
they
will
drive
through
three
times
that
day
so
we're
you
know
kind
of
targeting
a
morning
kind
of
a
late
afternoon
and
an
evening
route,
and
you
would
be
driving
that
same
route
and
there
are
some
once
the
person
signed
the
volunteer
signs
up.
They
will
be
able
to
see
what
those
route,
the
routes
that
are
available
and
select
the
one
that
is
most
convenient
for
them.
D
And
then
we
will
also
require
training,
but
it
will
be
as
a
as
a
in
a
webinar.
So
volunteers
can
do
that
at
their
on
their
own
time.
But
it's
a
really
great
opportunity
to
engage
in
this
national
kind
of
citizen
science
study.
And
so
I
would
just
ask
that
if
you
are
not
available
that
you
share
it
with
your
your
folks
to
see
if
we
can
secure
those
volunteers.
A
D
B
Okay,
very
good.
Well,
thank
you
for
your
work
on
that
and
any
questions
for
susan.
F
D
Basically
there
it's,
the
protocol
is
very
specific
because
they're
trying
to
like
say
we
have
a
cohort
of
22
cities
and
it
needs
to
be
consistent
across
the
board.
So
I
mean
there
are
some
other
things
that
need
to
go
into
it
as
far
as
the
specific
route,
the
timing
there
are
places
where
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
stop.
So
you
know
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
previously.
D
You
know
bus
stops
and
some
other
areas
of
interest,
but
it's
very
controlled
in
terms
of
the
protocol,
and
I
think
that
a
bus
would
not
fit
that
protocol,
unfortunately,
not
to
say
that
that
I
mean
that's
a
great
idea
and
we
do
have
some
other
research
studies
going
on.
So
we've
got
the
wet
globe
research,
so
I
think
you
know
we
could
certainly
consider
that
for
a
future.
D
B
Very
good,
seeing
no
other
questions.
Thank
you,
susan
for
that
report
and
I'll
kind
of
move
into
community
update
for
now.
I
know
that
jennifer
roberts
wanted
to
give
us
an
update.
J
Yeah,
thank
you
good
morning.
Everyone.
I
do
have
a
couple
updates,
one
of
them.
I
don't
have
all
the
information,
but
I
hope
to
get
it
soon
to
share
it
with
the
group.
One
thing
I
just
wanted
to
share
with
y'all:
I
don't
know
if
you
saw
the
press
conference,
I
think
it
was
last
week
that
was
formally
announced
that
we
we're
part
of
consolidated
dispatch,
charleston
9-1-1,
so
we
have
a
mental
health
counselor
working
in
there
and
they're
passing
mental
health
calls
to
our
to
our
person
she's
a
mobile
crisis
team
member.
J
So
the
hope
is
to
reduce
the
resources
that
are
being
called
out
for
mental
health
calls,
maybe
not
even
having
to
have
anyone
go
out,
or
maybe
just
mobile
crisis
and
law
enforcement.
So
we've
been
there
since
I
think
the
beginning
of
october,
and
just
trying
to
get
the
data
right
and
get
everything
right
and
figure
out
what
was
happening.
J
J
I
did
want
to
remind
everyone
about
our
conference.
This
is
the
last
time
I
can
remind
you
because
it
is
at
the
end
of
this
month.
Oh
thank
you
paul.
I
noticed
the
heat
that
one
of
the
days
is
on
the
hot
one
of
the
hottest
days
of
the
year
is
july.
31St,
that's
good
to
know
right
right
after
the
conference,
we
are
having
this
at
the
gill
yard,
on
the
28th
through
the
30th.
J
So
if
anyone's
interested
in
coming,
we
have
really
great
speakers,
and
I
wanted
to
mention
that
mayor
teklenberg
will
be
welcoming
everyone
at
the
conference
the
first
day
and
lastly,
I
want
to
share.
This
is
the
part
I
don't
have
all
the
information
on,
but
it's
a
really
neat
opportunity
for
the
community,
so
mental
health
got
a
grant
called
communities
of
care
and
we're
going
to
be
offering
trauma-informed
suicide
prevention
training
and
for
train
the
trainers
and
we're
looking
for
community
interest
for
anyone
hospitals.
J
We
have
a
fire
north
charleston
fire
department,
doing
it
right
now
what
it
there's
a
90
minute,
virtual
training
called
start,
and
I
can't
give
you
any
more
information,
because
I
barely
got
a
teeny
bit
this
week
myself,
but
we
have
it's.
An
online
virtual
presentation:
200
licenses
will
be
available
for
charleston
county
10
licenses
will
be
available
for
the
faith
community.
J
We've
got
lots
of
books,
they're
called
gizmo
books
and
they'll,
be
in
english
and
spanish.
That
will
be
able
to
give
out
to
libraries
or
schools
on
how
to
recognize
suicide.
So
that's
all
the
information
I
had.
I
tried
to
get
a
flyer
from
them
by
by
today,
but
they're
developing
it
now
up
at
dmh.
J
But
it's
a
really.
It
sounds
like
a
nice
opportunity
for
any
kind
of
groups,
agencies,
organizations
that
would
like
to
learn
more
about
recognizing
symptoms
of
suicide.
And
what
to
do
so.
I
will
give
I'll
send
paul
more
information
as
I
get
it,
but
we
do
have
a
lot
of
licenses
ready
to
go
as
soon
as
we're
ready
to
take
off.
I
think
within
the
next
few
weeks.
So
if
you
are
interested
in
tested
it
out,
checking
it
out,
let
me
know,
and
that's
all
I
have
for
today
well
thank.
B
A
B
Caught
me
off
guard
there
paul,
oh
man,
I'm
just
not
prepared
to
give
a
report
right.
A
Here
we
know
they're
wrapping
up
the
park
and
recreation
report
and
it's
expected
to
be
at
city
council
in
august
for
a
review
that
they're
working
on
now
a
little
bit
more
details
on
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
exactly
all
that
discussion
and
big
plans.
What
are
the
nuts
and
bolts
and
and
they're
just
working
on
all
those
small
details
for
the
next
couple
days.
I
think
they're
in
town
working
on
it
and
but
it
should
be.
A
They
should
have
a
report
to
city
council
in
august
and
once
we
get
a
link
to
it,
we'll
be
glad
to
share
with
everybody
so
that
you
can
just
see
that
those
connections
that
are
going
on
yeah.
B
Okay,
great
all
right
did
chloe
happen
to
come
on.
She.
A
Hasn't
yet,
but
can
we
just
do
a
go
around
and
just
go,
teach
and
see
what
we're
doing
in
our
different
agencies,
because
I
know
federer
has
been
very
active
with
different
items
as
well
as
low
country,
food
bank
and
nick.
We
want
one
day
we
want
to
have
you
do
a
little
presentation
at
our
meeting
just
to
give
us
a
little
update
of
the
food
bank
and
specifically,
all
these
these
food
deserts
and
and
all
the
good
work
y'all
are
doing
and
how
we
connect
with
them.
A
B
Okay,
very
good:
do
we
want
to
start
off
with
federer?
Are
you
there.
K
Yes,
I'm
here
good
morning
good
morning,
so
we
are
partnering
with
low
country
food
bank.
We
have
a
partnership
with
them.
In
hollywood
we
have
food
grocery
delivery
for
about
75
of
our
patients
and
they
actually
get
the
food
delivered
weekly
in
conjunction
with
a
group
session
with
our
dietitian
and
that's
been
virtual
for
the
last
year
and
it's
just
been
a
great
collaboration
with
low
country
food
bank.
K
We've
also
extended
it
across,
and
we
look
to
continue
to
extend
it
to
our
different
community
health
centers
and
then
in
regards
to
test
vaccinations,
we
are
partnering
with
representative
clyburn.
We
will
have
a
vaccination
event
in
conjunction
with
this
town
hall
meeting
on
this
monday
at
6
p.m.
At
trident
tech.
B
B
L
L
Obviously,
as
we
start
to
see
the
removal
of
different
economic
stimulus
provisions,
the
implications
that
that's
having
on
different
communities,
focusing
a
lot
in
terms
of
issues
of
equitability
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
serve
communities
specifically
in
in
those
communities
that
are
our
hardest
hit
and
and
hardest
to
reach,
as
well,
also
just
as
was
just
reported
by
aretha.
L
Around
expanding
the
types
of
initiatives
that
we're
doing
and
looking
very
much
of
that
connectivity
between
food
and
health
and
and
how
obviously
addressing
food
in
isolation
of
health
is
not
actually
going
to
necessarily
address
the
the
holistic
nature
of
people's
needs
and
issues
associated
with
their
well-being,
so
obviously
continuing
to
to
focus
on
on
those
types
of
initiatives
and
obviously
piloting
that
food
for
health
in
in
a
number
of
in
in
four
clinic
locations,
but
obviously
looking
at
opportunities
to
expand
and
scale
that
up
at
this
point
in
time,
also
focusing
on
on
our
capacity
building
of
our
agency
partners.
L
Because,
obviously,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
could
not
do
what
we
do
in
the
areas
that
we
serve
across
the
10
counties
without
our
agency
partners,
which
are
around
about
260
at
this
point
in
time.
So
continuing
to
look
at
opportunities
to
both
recruit
new
partner
agencies
to
work
with,
but
also
opportunities
to
look
at
ways
and
means
of
scaling
up
the
role
that
partner
agencies
play
looking
at
opportunities
for
provide,
for
example,
greater
fresh
produce
in
the
future,
as
well.
L
Looking
at
issues
of
refrigeration
and
looking
at
ways
of
being
able
to
open
open
services
on
a
more
regular
basis,
rather
than
just,
for
example,
once
a
month,
but
generally
just
continuing
to
address
the
needs.
As
we
come
out
of
what
some
may
see
as
as
victory
over
covid.
But
I
think
we're
obviously
looking
at
the
implications
that
covet
has
on
a
lot
of
families
and
neighbors
for
extending
for
what
is
probably
at
least
12
to
18
months
into
the
future.
D
Yeah
not
a
question.
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
nick.
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
meet
you
yet,
but
we
at
musc
have
run
a
a
program,
the
usda
summer,
feeding
program
through
our
hospital.
D
For
the
past
six
years
we
were
one
of
the
first
hospitals
in
the
country
to
implement
that
program
in
a
hospital
setting
and
because
of
covid
we've
had
to
pivot
and
not
offer
it
through
our
cafeterias
because
of
visitor
restrictions,
and
so
we
were
really
fortunate
to
partner
with
the
low
country,
food
bank
and
really
kind
of
last
minute
pull
together
that
partnership,
and
we
are
right
now
offering
the
program
at
the
summit,
medical
pavilion
in
north
charleston
and
serving
probably,
I
think,
around
three
to
four
hundred
meals
per
week
and
those
are
just
folks
who
are
coming
into
our
clinic
children
who
are
under
18,
and
we
are
looking
to
expand
that
to
shawn
jenkins
children's
hospital
in
the
next
couple
weeks,
but
just
have
been
a
fantastic
partner.
L
B
Very
good,
thank
you
nick
appreciate
that
and
dr
andrews
do
you
have
anything.
C
Yeah,
just
real
quick,
nothing
specific
to
my
role
in
the
charleston
county,
medical
society,
but
just
reiterating
what
dr
richardson
pointed
out
about
all
of
these
discussions
about
the
delta
variant
and
masking
decisions
and
the
fact
that
most
of
our
children
under
the
age
of
12
are
not
vaccinated.
So
just
keeping
that
in
mind
as
you
move
forward
and
making
decisions
in
your
personal
and
professional
life
as
a
pediatrician
and
a
parent
of
three
children
under
that
age
group.
C
It's
definitely
a
stressful
time
for
us
worrying
about
our
kids
and
then
just
totally
pivoting
an
update
from
dr
hinks
team
and
our
hospital-based
violence
intervention
program
at
musc.
We
have
hired
our
staff
and
we're
ready
to
offer
services
here
in
the
coming
weeks,
and
the
team
also
was
able
to
submit
a
large
grant
to
the
doj
for
supplemental
funding
for
the
program,
so
lots
of
great
stuff
happening
on
that
front.
B
F
Nothing
in
particular
just
ongoing
support
of
our
various
community
partnerships
through
funding
and
collaboration
with
folks
like
the
wonderful
food
bank,
folks,
our
our
two
partner
hospital
groups,
musc
and
roper,
with
our
healthy
tri
county
initiative
and
ongoing
work
with
our
school
systems.
I'm
trying
to
keep
our
kids
healthy,
and
so
that's
nothing
in
particular,
just
continuing
to
do
what
we
have
been
doing
great.
B
Thank
you,
joey
for
all
your
work.
Anybody
have
questions
for
joey,
okay
and
maggie.
I
know
that
you
spoke
a
little
bit
during
the
community
health
update.
Just
didn't
want
to
leave
you
out
if
you
had
any
other
updates.
G
Thanks
so
much
nothing
really
specific.
Well,
two
quick
things
we
are.
We
we
have
received
y'all
may
have
some
prior
knowledge
about
this.
We
will
be
receiving
what
we
call
esser
funds.
That's
the
elementary
and
secondary
emergency
relief
funding.
G
It's
part
of
the
american
recovery
act
and
our
sr3
funds
total
about
163
million
dollars
to
help
school
districts
and
other
local
education
authorities,
have
some
relief
from
cogan
and
19
impacts
and
about
20
of
that
has
to
be
allocated
at
least
20
directly
to
academic
loss
and
then
the
other
80
there's
a
there's
about
15
allowable
activity,
areas
in
which
those
funds
can
be
applied
in
to
condense.
Those
down.
G
They
basically
could
be
academic
related
as
it
relates
to
learning
support
supports
for
students
with
disabilities,
adult
education,
lower
income,
families,
educational
technology,
all
the
way
to
physical
building
improvements
like
air
quality
improvements
and
things
of
that
sort.
So
we
have
been
engaging
the
public
in
their
thoughts
and
feedback
on
those
15
allowable
activity
areas
and
what
they
think
the
top
five
priority
areas
are.
We
did
a
few
rounds
of
engagement
earlier
in
june,
both
with
a
focused
planning
group.
G
So
to
speak,
I
wouldn't
say
planning
group,
but
just
a
focused
engagement
group
of
about
60
individuals
over
zoom
and
then
we've
had
several
community
surveys
and
there's
one
still
still
going
out,
but
from
the
first
round
we
were
able
to
narrow
down
the
interest
across
the
15
allowable
activity,
areas
to
just
six,
and
so
now
we
are
still
actively
soliciting
feedback
for
strategies
within
those
six
areas
on
what
families
think
you
know
really
could
be
most
impactful
to
help
students.
G
So
there
is
a
survey
link
on
our
website
for
that
and
then
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
we'll
we'll
do
some
more
continued
engagement
on
that
and
really
refining
down
the
ideas
that
we're
getting
externally
and
internally
into
actionable
areas
and
then
we'll
submit
a
plan
by
august
24th.
G
Additionally,
with
that,
we
have
a
safe
return
to
in-person
instruction
plan
that
that
we
are
submitting
for
next
school
year,
and
so
we
have
also
solicited
some
input
and
feedback
on
different
protocols
such
as
social
distancing,
masks,
plexiglas
things
of
that
sort
in
this
broader
community
engagement
piece
around
esser,
since
these
are
both
the
timetables,
are
both
tied,
even
though
they're
separate
pieces,
and
so
we
have
not
made
any
decisions
for
next
school
year
as
it
relates
to
masks
most
likely.
G
All
the
plexiglass
is
coming
down,
except
for
in
certain
situations
in
certain
classroom
settings,
but
that's
a
case-by-case
basis
there.
B
D
Sorry,
I'm
wearing
a
bunch
of
hats.
Today
I
wanted
to
share
an
update
for
the
from
the
charleston
healthy
business
challenge.
Paul
and
joey
are
also
part
of
our
leadership
team.
We
have
spent
the
last
couple
months
updating
our
website.
Thank
you
paul.
So
we
are.
We
have
just
gone
live
last
week
and
we
are
preparing
to
relaunch
this
program
in
person.
D
Probably
the
first
couple
weeks
of
august,
we
will
be
hosting
an
event
at
the
harbor
club
and
we'll
be
engaging
with
the
chamber
and
really
we
continue
to
partner
with
the
south
carolina
hospital
association
to
use
their
strategy
for
well-being,
assessment
tool
that
assesses
organizational
well-being
across
11
dimensions
of
well-being,
and
we
use
that
for
recognition.
D
But
we
also
have
developed
another
track
for
recognition
that
is
kind
of
a
lighter
version
which
allows
folks
to
be
recognized
as
a
charleston,
healthy
business
and,
and
that
just
involves
participation
and,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
filling
out
a
form
that
kind
of
attests
to
their
engagement
throughout
the
year
and
sharing
some
of
their
kind
of
best
strategies.
D
So
we're
really
excited.
We
also.
I
wanted
to
mention
that
we
will
be.
We
are
actually
the
charleston
healthy
business
challenge
and
musc
are
sponsoring
the
south
carolina
7
expedition.
I
don't
know
if
y'all
are
familiar
with
that,
but
we
had.
We
had
done
a
conservation
series
earlier
this
year
when
we
were
still
doing
our
seminars
remotely
and
we
had
tom
mulligan,
who
is
the
south
carolina
flood
water
commissioner
attend
one
of
our.
D
He
was
a
speaker
for
one
of
our
sessions
and
he's
leading
a
30-day
expedition
from
the
mountains
to
the
sea.
So
he
kicked
it
off
on
july
1st
and
he
they
are
working
their
way
down
the
palmetto
trail
and
will
end
up
in
charleston
at
the
the
last
week
in
july,
and
you
can
participate
virtually
or
you
can
there's
an
a
field
guide
on
their
website,
sc7
expedition
that
you
can
download
and
it
tells
you
exactly
where
they
are
every
day.
D
So
if
you
want
to
join
the
team,
you
know-
and
you
know,
on
any
given
day-
there
are
a
couple
events
that
are
specific
to
the
expedition
team,
but
most
are
open
to
the
public
or
you
can
plan
your
own.
But
really
the
focus
is
on
bringing
awareness
to
our
natural
resources,
the
health
benefits
of
outdoor
recreation
and
nature.
D
M
No,
no
questions
kevin,
I'm
sorry!
I
was
driving
and
I
couldn't
by
the
time
I
got
off
mute.
I
didn't
want
to
come
out
well
great.
M
Kim
and
I
are
hopefully
going
to
talk
soon
about
everything
else-
that's
going
on
with
roper
saint
francis
and
I'm
helping
in
the
other
committees
as
well,
I'm
actually
working
with
the
hospital
and
through
our
opioid
reduction
team,
trying
to
teach
a
lot
of
the
patients
that
are
coming
in
for
chronic
needs
and
chronic
pain
care
to
help
them,
learn
how
to
use
narcan
and
try
to
we're
trying
different
initiatives
trying
to
help
some
of
these
people
that
are
suffering
from
addiction
or
that
need
to
go,
get
help
as
well
and
also
working
with
behavioral
health.
M
B
H
M
B
N
N
The
last
10-year-
and
it's
before
city
council
now
before
ultimate
adoption
and
the
city
plan
is
a
document
that
primarily
guides
the
physical
environment
of
the
city
so
impacting
land
use
and
planning
decisions,
and
even
though
its
focus
is
on
the
physical
environment,
there's
obviously
a
lot
of
social
implications,
and
so
we
have
thanks
to
paul
weider's
leadership
and
other
members
of
this
committee
who
gave
input
on
the
plan.
N
There
was
already
a
lot
of
overlap,
but
we
were
able
to
do
go
even
further
to
incorporate
the
health
and
all
policies
approach
into
the
city
plan,
and
so
some
of
the
ways
and
in
which
it's
being
incorporated
is
in
a
sort
of
housing
for
all
approach.
All
income
levels,
life
stages,
household,
needs,
increasing
access
to
natural
resources
and
parks,
addressing
food
deserts
and
the
access
to
fresh
food
and
grocery
stores.
N
That's
what
sums
up
the
entire
plan
it's
at
the
end
and
social
resilience
is
one
of
the
four
categories
of
resilience
we
explore
and
that's
defined
in
the
plan
as
enacting
policies
that
promote
health
and
well
and
wellness
for
all
citizens,
regardless
of
age,
race
or
socioeconomic
status,
and
and
in
the
plan.
We
have
a
resilience
and
equity
matrix.
N
That
outlines
all
of
the
recommendations
throughout
the
plan
that
address
both
resilience
and
equity,
and
we
have
any
time
that,
if
there's
overlap
with
policies
in
line
with
the
health
and
health
and
all
policies
agenda,
we've
we've
labeled
that
we've
named
that
in
in
the
matrix
at
the
end.
N
So
you
can
see
where,
where
all
that
overlap
is,
and
so,
if
anybody's
interested
in
in
looking
at
the
plan-
and
you
haven't
seen
it
yet-
the
website
is
charlestoncityplan.com
and
if
you
want
to
see
the
document
itself,
it's
charlestoncityplan.com
backslash
view
and
you
can
view
the
plan
there
and
all
the
appendices
are
are
listed
on
that
page
as
well.
I
don't
know
I
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
of
your
time
but
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Folks
have.
F
Just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
chloe
for
the
work
that
you
and
and
the
other
folks
on
your
team
at
the
planning
department
have
done
it.
It
makes
us
it's
very
exciting.
It
makes
me
very
happy
to
see
that
health
has
been
called
out
and
has
been
included
in
the
in
the
city
plan,
and
so
we
really
appreciate
your
your
work.
E
Yes,
I
want
a
second
everything
that
joey
said
it
was
great
to
meet
you
and
we
came
to
to
look
at
the
city
plan
of
the
gill
yard
as
a
representative
team
from
this
committee,
and
it
sounds
like
you've
really
taken
our
ideas
and
run
with
them.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
that.
I
look
forward
to
looking
at
it
after
this
meeting.
B
D
No
I'm
just
I'm
just
thrilled
that
we
were
able
to
pull
this
off
again.
I
feel
like
this
is
such
a
team
effort
and
we
so
appreciate
the
planning
office
really
embracing
what
we
were
trying
to
accomplish,
and
I'm
just
really
really
pleased
with
the
outcome.
B
All
right
well,
thank
you
appreciate
all
the
work
on
this
and,
let's
see
councilman
mike
seeking
did
I
miss
anything
that
we
needed
to
cover
on
here
that
you
can
see.
I
B
A
Yeah,
I
think
we've
covered
it.
It's
just
you,
you
don't
know
how
proud
and
how
excited
we
are
to
have
all
of
you
on
our
advisory
team.
We've
heard
from
other
cities-
and
they
just
are-
are
envious
of
the
work
that
y'all
do
and
work.
How
well
you
work
together
and
so
again
a
big
thank
you
to
to
the
leadership
of
our
council
members
of
mayor,
but
especially
you
on
this
board
that
show
up
to
help
keep
us
moving
forward.
So
thank
you.
