City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Monthly Meeting 12/7/2022
A
B
Right
well,
good
morning,
everybody
Welcome
to
our
December
7th
2022
meeting
of
the
health
and
wellness
advisory
committee
for
the
City
of
Charleston.
It's
beginning
to
look
a
lot
like
Christmas
out
there,
but
it's
been
reported.
It's
Santa
might
be
hanging
out
on
Folly
Beach,
with
our
75
and
Sunny
Day
got
about
17
shopping
days
left,
so
you
better
watch
out
better,
not
cry
you
better,
not
pout
and
I
just
want
to
tell
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
each
of
you.
B
That's
given
us
your
time
this
morning
and
joining
us
during
these
busy
holiday
times,
and
we
look
forward
to
hearing
from
each
of
you
this
morning.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
I
guess
I'll
start
off
by
making
a
motion
that
we
accept
the
minutes
for
November
2nd
2022
meeting.
Can
somebody
please,
second
that
for
me.
B
B
We're
we're
gonna
start
with
our
community
update,
move
that
to
the
top
of
the
agenda,
just
to
ensure
that
we
cover
you
know
all
of
our
needs
of
the
community
and
I'd
like
to
start
start
that
off
by
calling
on
Joey
current
to
share
an
overview
of
the
First
Data
sharing
of
the
2022
Community
Health
needs
assessment,
so
Joey.
If
you
would
please.
D
So
we
conduct
a
survey
every
three
years.
That
survey
is
a
joint
effort
between
many
of
our
partners
in
the
Coalition,
but
this
typically
I
want
to
shout
out
Roper
St
Francis
for
kind
of
leading
that
year
after
year,
it's
a
really
big
effort
and
we
really
appreciate
y'all
helping
us
out
with
that.
So
this
survey
goes
out.
It
helps
really
guide
kind
of
the
work
that
we
focus
on.
D
There
are
so
many
Health
areas
that
we
could
focus
on
in
our
community,
but
we
want
to
take
what
the
community
says
are
their
highest
areas
of
need
and
focus
on
those,
and
so
that
survey
just
came
back.
We
run
it
every
three
years,
like
I
said
so.
2019
was
our
last
Community
Health
needs
assessment.
2022
was
it
was
the
time
for
us
to
do
it
again.
D
That
survey
data
came
back
and
I
want
to
share
with
folks
that
you
know
the
topic
areas
that
Rose
to
the
top
those
top
five
areas
that
we
need
to
focus
on
in
our
community
that
that
folks,
who
answered
the
survey
from
across
all
Three
Counties
various
demographics,
zip
codes,
those
five
areas
of
focus
have
not
changed
since
2019,
so
we're
going
to
continue
focusing
on
those
things.
Thank
you
so
much
Paul
for
pulling
that
up.
D
So
we
have
access
to
care,
which
is
essentially
transportation
services
to
get
to
health
care
and
affordability,
meaning
being
able
to
have
health
insurance
of
some
kind.
So
we've
bundled
those
to
those
two
topics
together
into
what
we
call
access
to
care.
There's
been
no
change
there.
Clinical
preventive
Services,
those
would
be
things
like
immunizations
cancer
screenings,
the
things
of
that
note.
Those
actually
moved
up
in
the
overall
rankings,
but
still
within
those
top
five,
and
certainly
something
we
want
to
focus
on
and
continue
focusing
on
in
our
region.
D
Oral
health
moved
up,
and
we've
we've
put
that
in
with
access
to
care.
Because,
again
you
know
the
what
we've
noticed
in
the
survey
data
was
that
oral
health
is
is
very
largely
tied
to
just
Clinical
Services
in
general
and
folks
being
able
to
have
access
to
adequate
oral
health
and
oral
health
care
is
really
important,
but
I
will
I
will
note
that
it
did
move
up
in
the
rankings
from
2019.
D
D
Of
course,
there
could
be
some
bias
in
the
data
that
comes
back
from
survey
data.
When
we
ask
folks,
you
know
what
their
what
their
perception
of
any
kind
of
substance
misuse
Services
right
folks,
are
sometimes
hesitant
to
report
on
on
what
they
know
about
what
they
don't
know
about
in
the
community,
but
but
that
has
had
no
change
from
the
2019
survey.
So
that's
still
up
there
in
our
top
five
obesity,
nutritional
nutrition
and
physical
activity.
D
D
So
we're
gonna
we're
lumping
that
in
with
maternal
infant
child
health,
because
a
lot
of
that
goes
hand
in
hand
with
providing
folks
with
adequate
services
to
be
able
to
address
their
sexual
health
needs
and
also
education
and
awareness
around
things
like
well.
A
lot
of
the
stuff
that
the
city
is
already
doing,
which
is
which
was
great
and
the
Department
of
Health,
is
already
doing
so.
D
B
D
I
think
the
biggest
thing
that
we
would
like
for
all
of
our
municipalities
to
do
is,
to
you
know,
help
partner
with
us
and-
and
the
first
thing
is
to
you
know,
make
sure
that
we
have
a
good
list
of
all
the
services
that
are
available
to
folks
and
where
those
services
are
available.
So
we
can
map
that
out.
B
E
So
we're
we're
very
excited
about
where
we're
headed
we're
very
excited
about
the
the
plans
that
are
popping
up,
but
we
all
the
different
meetings,
new
things
keep
showing
up
of
what
we're
going
to
be
offering
what
the
hospital
is
going
to
entail
and
how
it's
how
it's
going
to
cooperate
with
the
other
three
hospitals
that
are
in
the
area
now.
So
it's
it's!
It's
exciting!
E
B
F
No
not
really
on
this
we're
just
entering
the
final
exam
period,
just
like
College
of
Charleston
and
Charleston
Southern.
So
the
program
I
was
involved
with
the
big
dog.
Little
dog
family
run
program,
we're
reaching
the
end
of
our
training
program
and
we
are
culminating
that,
with
the
reindeer
run
5k
downtown
in
Charleston
this
Saturday.
So
then
are
you
out
to
the
Box.
You
might
see
myself
and
a
handful
of
kids
in
Cadets
with
reindeers
running
around.
So
all.
B
G
No,
no,
not
really,
obviously
busy
time
of
year.
At
the
moment
I
mean
we
saw.
Thanksgiving
was
an
incredibly
busy
holiday
period.
We
saw
quite
a
significant
Spike
and
increase
in
food
need
just
before
the
Thanksgiving
and
obviously,
as
we
go
into
the
holiday
period
ahead
of
us
as
well,
seeing
obviously
an
increase
in
in
demand
and
needs.
G
As
usual,
we
are
seeing,
as
I
said,
an
increase
in
Spike,
but
that's
it's
the
holiday
period,
but
again,
I
I,
think
the
the
impact
of
the
cost,
inflation
and
the
cost
of
food
is
is
obviously
continuing
to
put
pressure
on
on
a
lot
of
households
across
our
service
area.
Well,
thank
you
for
all
that.
You
do
appreciate
that.
H
Also
like
increases
for
the
amount
of
increases
we
give
for
people
that
get
licenses
and
for
in
social
work
or
any
kind
of
licenses
really
so
yeah.
So
it's
really
good
stuff's
happening
with
that
and
I
hope.
2023
is
going
to
be
awesome
and
because
of
that,
it's
interesting
Joey's
report
I
was
sitting
here.
Writing
things
that
all
are
related
to
Joey's
report.
H
You
know
we
always
people,
don't
know
the
services
that
are
out
there
for
us
for
mental
health,
and
so
we're
gonna
do
some
kind
of
targeted
commercials
that
you
should
see
coming
up
in.
In
December
and
January,
januaries
will
probably
focus
more
on
on
suicide
and
here's
some
services
and
people
who
do
who
to
call
Decemberists,
hopefully,
will
be
more
on
kind
of
recruitment
efforts
for
us.
H
Our
crisis
stabilization
unit
that
moved
into
the
social
services
hub
is
there
it's
not
open
yet
because
we're
waiting
on
DX
to
come,
inspect
us
and
we're
hoping
to
get
it
definitely
reopened
by
January
3rd
we're
going
for
a
new
license
this
time,
it's
not
the
same
kind
of
license
so
we're
kind
of
as
far
as
that
goes
starting
from
scratch.
So
it's
going
to
take
a
little
bit
more
time
just
than
just
you
know,
moving
and
reopening,
but
that's
exciting,
and
it
looks
great
and
we're
hoping
to
get
that
open.
H
First
thing
in
January
we
still
do
have
walk-in
access
for
as
far
as
mental
health
access
I'm.
Just
getting
that
word
out
that
people
can
come
to
our
clinics.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
an
emergency.
We
will
open
your
chart
that
day
and
hopefully
soon
have
a
lot
more
clinicians
to
help
folks
interesting
the
sexual
health
thing
on
the
survey
we
actually
have
a
I
can't
remember
her
name.
H
I
was
trying
to
get
somebody
to
answer
me
in
a
text,
but
we
have
a
sexual
health
speaker
coming
up
this
year
for
the
conference,
so
that
should
be
interesting
and
and
kind
of
on
time
with
Joey's
report
and
I
guess.
Lastly,
just
an
update
on
988.
I,
don't
know
if
y'all
saw
it
I
don't
know
if
it
was
in
our
paper,
but
the
actual
whole
system
shut
down
across
the
country
a
few
days
ago.
H
H
Our
non-profit
gave
us
7
500
this
year
to
to
could
give
packages
together
for
our
adult
Clinic,
our
adult
patients-
mostly
it's
toiletries
and
things
like
that,
but
we're
going
to
have
lots
of
be
able
to
serve
probably
300
plus
patients
and
thanks
to
communities
to
schools.
Again,
we
gave
out
about
150
Thanksgiving
baskets
with
you
know,
turkeys
and
and
all
the
sides
so
Lots
going
on
at
mental
health
and
and
it's
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
is
here
and
I
was
so
happy.
H
B
B
I
Good
morning,
councilman
Sheely,
thank
you
so
much
for
letting
us
share
a
couple
of
things
right
now.
This
past
week
we
announced
our
covet
and
flu
testing
Clinic
availability
for
all
of
our
students,
staff
and
family
members.
There
is
a
list
of
those
locations
in
the
dates
and
times
on
our
website,
but
that
Services
is
available
for
free
to
our
staff
and
students
and
their
families.
B
I
B
B
K
Good
morning,
everyone
and
first
off
thank
you
for
having
ending
the
epidemics
SC
here
and
me,
and
after
this
is
over
after
my
portion
is
over.
I'll
have
to
excuse
myself.
The
division
is
having
a
retreat
today
in
Lexington
County,
but
I'm
delighted
to
be
here
and
just
FYI
is
a
personal
comment
from
the
Midlands
I
have
been
envious
of
Charleston's
leadership
and
so
councilman
sheily.
K
So,
having
said
that,
the
ending
the
epidemic
says
see
is
the
it's
a
Grassroots
organization
which
is
not
owned
by
DHEC,
but
the
funding
is
currently
from
the
federal
government
through
and
ending
the
HIV
epidemic
program,
but
ending
the
epidemics.
Sc
notice,
the
S
on
the
end
of
epidemics
in
2017,
Ali
manzari,
who
is
the
director
of
the
of
DX
STD
HIV
and
viral
hepatitis
division,
was
at
a
National
Conference
heard
about
the
concept
of
ending
the
epidemic,
singular,
which
meant
but
didn't
say,
a
HIV.
K
He
came
back
to
South
Carolina
and
at
a
Statewide
meeting
in
August
of
2017
put
an
S.
He
had
the
vision
to
put
an
S
on
the
end
of
epidemic
to
make
it
plural
and
many
people
like
Dr,
Richardson
and
I
and
many
others
got
excited
about
the
concept
of
what
a
term
y'all
may
have
heard
called
syndemics,
which
pulls
together
different
epidemics
and
so
we've
started.
The
ending
the
epidemics
that
began
in
the
fall
of
2017.,
Richardson
and
I
are
still
on
the
steering
committee.
K
I
was
not
working
for
DHEC
at
the
time,
and
the
steering
committee
is
comprised
of
people
from
all
around
the
state
in
different
walks
of
life
and
roughly
25.
But
don't
quote
me
on
that.
Are
people
who
are
living
with
HIV
or
and
a
few
who
are
in
recovery
from
substance
use
issues
so
Paul?
Would
you
advance
it
to
the
the
next
slide
now?
K
Actually,
I
have
this
memorized,
so
I
don't
need
to
read
it,
but
our
vision
with
Dr,
Richardson
and
I
and
others
formed
in
early
2018
is
a
South
Carolina
free
of
new
cases
of
HIV
STD,
STDs
viral
hepatitis
and
substance
use
disorders
and
our
motto
is:
treat
early,
get
tested.
Sorry
stay
safe,
that
one
I
haven't
memorized
quite
well
enough,
yet
clearly
a
stay
safe,
get
tested,
treat
early
and
stigma
so
next
slide,
and
our
purpose
is
with
a
good
Community
engagement,
because
it's
not
just
the
steering
committee.
K
It's
a
whole
Statewide
work
group,
but
our
purpose
is
to
to
help
the
entire
community
of
South
Carolina
and
we're
still
working
on
that
to
become
more
aware
of
these
issues
of
HIV
STDs
viral
hepatitis
and
substance
use
issues
and
the
way
they
interact
and
let's
see
the
Jennifer
you
had
mentioned
about
mental
health
and
the
fact
that
you're
going
to
have
a
sexual
health
speaker
soon.
I
would
love
to
know
about
that
and,
first
off.
K
Thank
you
for
doing
so
for
having
a
sexual
speaker
come
in
because
this
all
of
these
issues
work
together
and
as
dayotas,
who
is
a
major
partner
in
ending
the
epidemics
SC
of
the
Department
of
Alcohol
and
Other
Drug
abuse,
Services
of
courses.
I'm
sure
you
all
know
they
are
definitely
promoting
the
fact
that
there
are
that
people
who
are
using
any
kind
of
substance
that
impairs
those
judgment
are
more
at
prey
for
sexually
transmitted
infections
and
I.
K
Don't
know
the
statistics
well
enough
on
the
diode
side,
but
Linda
Brown
was
just
mentioning
the
other
day
that
some
incredible
percentage
of
people
who
are
meth
users
are
getting
infected
at
higher
rates
for
multiple
issues.
So
and,
as
you
see
on
the
screen
that
we
try
to
involve
all
stakeholders,
not
just
not
just
people
in
the
HIV
and
STD
and
substance
use
Fields,
but
providers
throughout
the
community
of
the
communities
of
faith.
We
involve
rural
and
urban
areas
and
are
aspiring
to
having
a
true
Statewide
effort
and
effect
so
next
slide.
K
Katie
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
we
had
a
summit
on
sud
in
partnership
with
substance
use
issues
with
diotis,
and
then
we
also
had
several
of
summits
that
were
directed
toward
at
least
one
towards
towards
providers
at
another
and,
of
course,
the
one
in
September
towards
the
general
public
about
substance
use
issues
and
then
the
steering
committee.
As
you
see
on
the
right
initially,
it
was
a
very
small
group
of
Dr
Richardson
and
myself
and
some
others,
but
it
has
grown
I.
K
Don't
remember
how
many
there
are
right
now,
but
it's
roughly
too
many,
and
it's
got
members
of
the
HIV
planning
Council,
which
is
a
Statewide
group
of
infectious
disease,
Physicians
people
living
with
HIV
many
Community
Advocates
and
that's
sort
of
where
I
fall,
and
then
prevention
and
care
providers
and
all
four
DHEC
Health
regions
are
represented
so
next
slide
and
then
the
ending
the
HIV.
Sorry
ending
the
HIV
epidemic
is
specifically
the
area
of
the
Focus
right
now
and
that's
where
the
federal
money
is
coming
into
South
Carolina.
They.
K
There
are
four
pillars
of
the
ending
the
HIV
epidemic
program
and
that's
diagnose,
treat,
prevent
and
respond
next
slide
and
then
the
biggest
thing
we
are
fighting
is
stigma
and
I
don't
want
to
spend
too
much
time
on
this.
But
as
somebody
who
has
lived
through
the
entire
HIV
epidemic,
as
I
suspect,
some
of
you
all
have
as
well,
and
you
probably
know
that
the
HIV
epidemic
is
41
years
old
this
year
and
the
because
the
first
diagnosed
cases
were
on
were
published
on
June
5th
of
1981.
K
K
K
Oh
well,
that's
okay,
I
think
the
last
thing
is
ending
or
enhanced,
Community,
Education
and
messaging,
so
that's
a
sort
of
encompassing
in
what
I've
said
before
so
next
slide
and
then
just
to
recap,
because
I'm
running
out
of
time,
the
world
AIDS
day,
the
ending
the
epidemics
SC
World
days
day,
2022
was
the
sixth
ending
the
epidemics
SC
world
day
to
stay
at
the
state
house.
Now
the
actual
World
Dave
stays
at
the
State
House
have
been
happening
since
the
early
90s.
K
In
the
early
days
of
the
epidemic
covet
epidemic,
we
had
already
had
the
State
House
Reserve,
so
we
went
ahead
and
had
a
placeholder
activity
with
and
had
it
on
began
an
online
presence
so
back
to
the
slide
you're
looking
at
you
can
see
that
we're
online
all
day
long
and
we
all
have
always
leaked
in
for
the
last
couple
of
years
to
the
Facebook
live
stream
of
your
Charleston
World
AIDS
day
observance
from
six
to
seven.
So
thank
you
all
for
doing
that.
K
It
allows
the
entire
state
to
participate
in
that
wonderful
observance
that
y'all
been
doing
for
years
and
then
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
this
flyer.
You
can
see
that
we
were
at
the
State
House
from
11
to
2.
We
had
a
data,
walk
storytelling
table
displays
and,
of
course,
a
phenomenally
successful
press
conference
this
this
year
and
other
activities.
So
if
you
next
slide,
please-
and
then
here
as
you'll,
see
in
that
little
inset
photograph
is
a
fabulous
photograph
of
the
a
still
shot
from
the
30-second
video
that
your
own
Shauna
Hasty
did.
K
Who
works
at
DHEC
in
the
Charleston
area,
so
to
encourage
Statewide
participation
we
put
out
for
the
third
year
in
a
row
of
national
second
year
in
a
row,
a
challenge
to
have
people
across
the
state
do
30
second
videos
and
one
of
the
many
that
we
got
in
and
aired
all
day
long
on
world
AIDS
day
on,
our
social
media
was
from
Shauna
Hasty.
So
please
go
to
ending
the
epidemics.
K
Remember
those
plural,
ending
the
epidemics
SC
on
Facebook
to
the
video
section,
the
video
library
and
you
can
see
all
of
the
30-second
videos
from
this
year
and
from
last
year
they
apparently
are
also
on
Instagram
and
Tick.
Tock
and
I.
Don't
speak
either
of
those
languages
so
I,
but
I
am
told
that
there,
the
videos
are
on
those
as
well
so
and
please
we
encourage
you
to
do
more
of
these
videos
next
year.
K
Now
next
slide-
and
now
here
are
just
a
few
photographs
from
this
year's
Statewide
event
and
the
Statewide
event,
even
though
it's
here
in
the
Midlands
is
purports
to
be
strives
to
be
to
represent
and
get
Statewide
attention
for
HIV
STDs
viral
hepatitis
and
substance
use
disorders
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
upper
left,
that's
a
still
shot
from
an
incredible
WIS
of
Channel
10
story
about
the
event
and
it's
our
debut.
You
can't
really
see
the
U
equals
you
off
to
the
left,
but
it's
there
and
but
to
the
right.
K
It's
a
modular
stand,
so
it
fits
in
my
car
that
the
dare
to
care
sign
is
on,
and
then
you
see
a
larger
version
of
it
with
an
ABC
Columbia,
a
larger
close-up
of
the
dare
to
care
sign
below
so
we're
branding
the
State
House
event
as
a
Statewide
event
and
then
move
into
the
middle
of
the
slide.
That's
the
south
of
side
of
the
state
house,
that's
the
sunnier
and
warmer
sign
where
the
tables
were.
K
Then,
off
to
the
right
is
what
I
am
extremely
proud
of,
and
please
take
the
time
to
read
that
Proclamation
later
it's
a
proclamation
from
Governor
Henry
McMaster
is
the
sixth
one
in
a
row
that
he
has
been
kind
enough
to
approve
and
sign
for
us
and
so
and
it
it
Compares
at
all
of
you
who
are
on
this
call.
I
think
will
be
heartened
by
the
various
issues
that
that
Proclamation
addresses.
So
thank
you
and
next
slide,
and
then.
Lastly,
this
is
my
next
to
the
last
slide.
K
This
one
is
the
flyer
that
we
handed
out
to
the
media
that
shows
on
the
far
left
of
the
first
page.
It
shows
the
rundown
of
the
events
that
were
at
the
state
house
and
then
there's
a
QR
code
that
takes
you
to
a
website,
takes
you
to
links
that.
Take
you
to
various
websites,
including
several
from
DHEC
and
from
the
CDC,
and
the
national
U
equals
you
campaign
and
then
in
the
middle.
K
You
can
see
the
walking
trails
at
a
map
of
the
walking
trails
activity
that
we
were
promoting
to
promote
physical
activity,
to
help
strengthen
our
immune
systems
and
make
ourselves-
and
you
know
a
healthier
overall
in
the
middle,
you
see
a
tiny
little
map
of
Trinity
Episcopal
Cathedrals
up
grounds.
They
are
immediately
across
Sumter
Street
on
the
east
side
of
the
state
house.
They
held
a
healing
service
for
HIV
and
other
stigmatized
issues.
K
They
held
that
at
12
30
and
at
the
bottom
of
that
page,
you
see
the
evening
event
that
y'all
were
sponsoring
there
in
Charleston
and
lastly,
over
on
the
right
hand
page,
you
see
the
press
conference
participants
and
there
were
people
from
DHEC
from
diotas.
There
were
three
or
four
people
living
with
HIV
and
the
Highlight
was
the
reconnect
us
presentation
from
the
South
Carolina
Department
of
Corrections.
K
With
the
program
reconnect
us
that
is
a
re-entry
program
for
people
living
with
HIV
to
either
maintain
their
viral
suppression
or
to
help
them
achieve
it
by
an
easy
transition
into
care
around
the
state.
And
then
you
see
the
logos
of
our
many
different
partners
and
then
the
last
slide
is
simply
how
to
get
a
hold
of
Felicia.
Who
is
the
head
of
the
ending
the
epidemic
initiative
and
then
my
contact
information?
So
are
there
any
questions
and
I
have
one
for
y'all
when
you're
done.
K
Us
I
sure,
do
and
I'm
going
to
direct
it
to
you,
sir
Paul
Wieters
a
year
or
so
ago,
was
kind
enough
to
offer
to
help
Colombia
get
our
Fast
Track
City
Initiative
off
the
ground.
We
actually
signed
the
initiative
a
couple
of
months
before
y'all
did,
but
it's
never
gone
anywhere,
and
so
my
question
of
you
councilman
is:
would
you
authorize
Paul
to
come
up
here
one
day
because
I
think
it's
going
to
take
a
lunch
to
make
this
get
off
the
ground
and
we
will
figure
out
who
will
pay
for
that
later?
K
It
won't
be
you
guys,
though,
and
and
just
so
you
all
know
our
mayor,
Daniel
Rickman
is
incredibly
supportive
of
the
Fast
Track
City
initiative
and
extremely
impressed
with
all
that
y'all
are
doing
in
Charleston,
but
telling
him
that
Paul
is
available
to
answer.
Questions
hasn't
been
enough
to
get
something
happening.
B
K
Well,
thank
you
so
much
and
I'm
going
to
stay
on
for
Katie's
presentation
and
then
I
went
and
then
I
will
jump
off
to
my
retreat.
Thank
you
all
and
again,
as
a
South
Carolinian
thanks.
Thank
you
for
all
that
you're
doing
to
integrate
health
awareness
into
the
Charleston
area
and
lastly,
I
forgot
to
mention
that
one
of
your
Senators
state
senators
Sandy
Sin
from
Dorchester
Western
Charleston
counties
from
District
41.
She
was
one
of
our
two
sponsors
of
this
year's
State
House
Event.
So
we
are
very
appreciative
great
well.
Thank
you.
C
L
Okay,
awesome
great
good
morning.
Everyone
thank
you
for
the
introduction,
Dr
Katie
so
good
morning.
My
name
is
Takia
Robinson
I
am
the
Tri-County
shape
director
for
the
Tri-County
area,
which
we
cover
Charleston
Dorchester
and
Berkeley
counties,
as
well
as
the
SCD
HIV
Health
educator
for
DHEC
here
in
the
Lowcountry
people.
L
Fine,
so
once
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
speak
before
you
all.
Today,
we're
going
to
be
discussing
some
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
as
shape.
What
is
shape
for
those
of
you
that
may
not
be
familiar
with
our
organization,
as
well
as
the
events
that
we've
hosted,
how
we're
impacting
our
communities
the
things
that
we
plan
on
doing
in
the
future,
as
well
as
any
other
ideas
and
needs
that
we
may
ask
at
the
end.
L
So,
with
our
Tri-County
shape
initiative,
we
are
broken
into
sub
work
groups.
So
our
first
work
group
is
our
clinical
or
surveillance,
which
is
run
by
our
lovely
Dr,
Katie
Richardson,
and
basically
that's
a
meeting
that
we
have
every
other
month
that
allows
all
of
the
other
providers
and
other
care
workers
who
deal
with
people
who
are
HIV
positive
or
at
high
risk
of
Contracting,
HIV
or
any
other
STI.
And
we
go
over
the
data.
L
L
So
we
do
a
lot
of
work,
but
we
do
a
lot
of
good
work
and
it's
good.
The
reason
why
I
love
our
shape
initiative
is
because
we
do
get
to
collaborate
with
other
work
groups.
We
do
get
to
collaborate
with
other
organizations
in
regards
to
Sexual
Health
prevention
and
education
regarding
to
HIV
prevention,
as
some
of
the
things
that
I'll
be
talking
about
in
a
little
bit.
L
L
A
A
L
Awesome,
so
this
right
here
is
our
South
Carolina
HIV
map.
This
is
the
most
recent
update
that
I
currently
have
of
a
map
which
is
was
produced
in
April
of
this
year
and,
as
you
can
see
that
the
color-coded
of
the
map
is
the
number
of
people
living
with
HIV
and
AIDS
and,
as
you
can
see
in
Charleston
area,
we
are
deeply
red.
L
So
we
do
have
that
roughly
estimate
between
1700
and
3100
people
that
are
currently
living
with
HIV
and
then
within
the
number
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
could
probably
see
it
very
well,
but
within
the
number
is
the
number
of
people
who
are
currently
not
in
care
and
as
of
April,
we
had
about
500
people
who
still
need
linkage
to
care
services
regarding
to
HIV
treatment.
Prevention,
so
have
done
a
lot
of
great
work,
but
still
got
plenty
more
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
for
sure
next
slide.
Paul.
L
L
This
began
with
the
Declaration
in
Paris
to
end
the
HIV
AIDS
epidemic
by
2030
and
to
also
address
any
other
disparities
that
or
any
other
social
economic
situations
that
can
provide
as
a
barrier
to
those
who
cannot
really
cannot
receive
those
linkage
to
care
services
and
kind
of
negate
in
those
barriers.
So
the
access
to
care
can
be
more
realistic
and
also
in
2019
mayor
tecklenberg.
He
did
sign
the
Declaration
for
Charleston
to
be
officially
a
fast
track.
City.
L
So,
with
our
targets
for
the
fast
track,
City,
our
Target
numbers
is
95,
95,
95,
meaning
that
we
want
95
percent
of
people
who
we
want
95
of
people
that
get
tested
to
be
tested
for
HIV
diagnosis
and
diagnosed
out
of
those
people.
We
also
want
95
to
be
on
antiretroviral
medication
and
out
of
those
95
percent
of
people,
we
want
to
be
virally
suppressed.
L
So
that's
the
95.95
Target
that
we're
going
with
up
into
2030
and
So,
currently
in
Charleston.
What
we're
looking
like
is
that
we
currently
have
85
people
being
diagnosed
as
HIV
positive,
so
super
close
to
that
95
percentage
mark
with
that
out
of
those
we
only
have
67
that
are
actually
currently
on
Art.
So
that's
the
part
that
we
definitely
need
to
do
more
work
in
is
getting
those
who
are
diagnosed
into
treatment
and
out
of
those
as
well,
that
are
or
are
they
are
88
suppressed.
So
that's
amazing
as
well.
L
That
shows
that
they
are
adherent
to
their
medications
and
their
doctor's
appointments,
so
that
number
is
also
very
close
to
that
95
percent
Target
goal
as
well.
So
the
main
focus
that
we
are
focusing
on
right
now
is
getting
those
who
are
diagnosed
with
HIV
into
treatment
and
being
on
antiretrovirus,
so
they
can
lead
to
that.
Viral
suppression.
L
L
L
And
with
our
U
equals
not
without
you,
because
you,
but
with
our
future,
is
you
campaign
we're
focusing
more
on
the
stigma
relating
to
HIV,
leaving
what
stigma
that's
surrounding
HIV
in
the
past
and
letting
people
know
that
this
is
not
what
we've
known
it
to
be
in
the
80s,
like
science
has
come
a
long
way.
Education
has
come
a
very
long
way
since
then,
and
so
just
breaking
down
that
stigma
and
just
in
exposing
more
education
relating
to
it.
L
So
one
of
the
ways
that
we
have
done
it
in
the
past
is:
we've
had
Billboards.
Last
year,
I'm
going
into
early
this
year
supporting
the
Futures
you
campaign,
and
then
this
year
we
had
a
social
media
campaign
going
through
until
I
believe
the
14th
of
this
month.
Advertising
for
our
few,
our
future
issue
campaign
and
reducing
the
stigma,
as
well
as
increasing
people
to
get
tested.
J
Hey
everyone,
I'm
gonna,
be
super
brief
because
we
are
running
low
on
time,
but
again,
I'm
Nadia,
consevage,
I
work
with
Planned
Parenthood
I'm,
the
community
health
educator,
but
also
the
community
outreach
committee
chair
for
shape.
So
I
had
the
pleasure
of
organizing
and
working
closely
with
all
our
partnering
organizations
trying
to
get
things
together
for
community
events
such
as
World
AIDS
day
I'm,
going
to
throw
some
links
in
the
chat.
J
So
you
can
look
later
at
kind
of
what
all
went
down
at
World
AIDS
day,
but
the
first
one
is
just
a
short
Instagram
that
Palmetto
Community
Care
produce
and
then
also
a
link
to
watch
World
AIDS
day.
The
ceremony
was
live
streamed
and
you
can
go
back
and
watch
that
if
you
like,
but
it
was
a
day
designated
to
dedicating
to
dedicated
to
raising
awareness
of
V8
pandemic,
caused
by
the
spread
of
the
HIV
infection
and
mourning
those
who
have
died
of
the
disease.
And
you
can
go
to
the
next
side.
J
J
We
had
a
really
powerful
candlelit
vigil
through
the
cemetery
Unitarian
Church,
as
well
as
a
ceremony
who
had
speakers
from
College
of
Charleston
Palmetto
Community
Care,
Ryan,
White,
Wellness
MUSC,
breath
to
Blossom.
We
had
a
sound
bath.
The
theme
was
to
remember
to
celebrate
and
rejuvenate,
so
we're
celebrating
all
the
wonderful
resources
we
have
in
Charleston
and
rejuvenate
to
continue
the
hard
work
that
we
do.
J
So
it
was
a
place
to
gather,
to
show
support
and
show
not
only
the
resources
that
we
have
clinically,
but
also
in
community
and
solidarity,
and
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
So
we
also
have
a
bunch
of
other
events
that
we
run
as
a
coalition.
For
example,
the
nailed
it
Community
chat
event,
which
was
a
community-led
event
at
the
College
of
Charleston,
where
students
were
able
to
express
Sexual
Health
needs
for
sexual
health
organizers.
J
J
Thank
you,
Dr
Katie,
so
before
I
hit
on
the
asks,
I
just
want
to
give
us
an
offer.
I
want
you
to
offer
up
shapes
resources
to
you
all.
I
know.
We
have
a
lot
of
really
wonderful
people
in
this
group
and
people
that
are
willing
to
work
with
the
College
of
Charleston
people
are
that
are
working
at
the
Citadel.
J
If
you
all
have
ideas
or
things
that
you
want
us
to
bring
to
you,
if
shape
as
a
coalition
cannot
do
it,
we
know
exactly
who
can
so
we
work
with
everybody
in
the
area
that
works
with
sexual
health
and
wellness.
So
please,
if
you
have
ideas
or
things
you
want
to
see
from
us
contact
us,
and
we
also
are
asking
the
city
for
assistance
in
keeping
this
program
running
so
shape,
is
the
best
works
of
the
best
and
the
brightest.
J
It's
the
Coalition
that
has
the
most
collaborative
work
in
Charleston
and
it's
the
Synergy
that
keeps
our
sexual
health
programs
running.
So
something
that
could
help
keep
this
going
would
be
monetary
donations.
We
do
not
have
any
kind
of
budgeting
right
now.
We
are
all
working
based
on
donations,
so,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
our
venmo
here,
but
also
we
would
love
to
sit
down
with
the
city
and
discuss
ways
where
we
can
get
funding
on
a
more
long-term
basis.
J
Assistance
with
media
and
marketing,
any
kind
of
press
releases
or
connections
to
social
medias
or
news
sources
would
be
really
helpful
to
uplift.
Our
events
and
also
space
to
hold
community
events
would
be
really
helpful
from
the
city
as
well,
but
thank
you
all
for
listening.
I
have
so
much
to
share,
but
so
little
time
so
I
hope
to
speak
with
you
all
again
and
I
really
appreciate
your
time.
C
I,
don't
have
any
more
on
this
topic.
I
just
want
to
thank.
He
had
Nakia
and
Elizabeth
from
joining
us
and
all
of
you
for
for
sticking
around
to
hear
this
I
think
it
really
dovetails,
as
Jennifer
said,
with
what
Joey
started
with
and
the
importance
of
collaboration,
the
importance
of
Health
Equity,
the
importance
of
access
to
care
and
clinical
preventive
services,
and
so
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
this
group
on
that
and
then
I
know
it's
Tim
I
just
want
to
finish
up.
Oh
there's,
there's.
C
C
This
fall,
and
so
please
do
what
you
can
to
protect
yourself
and
our
communities
by
getting
your
vaccines,
making
sure
that
you
stay
home
when
sick
practice,
good
hand,
hygiene
and
wear
a
mask
if
you're
around
those
who
may
be
more
vulnerable.
So
thank
you
again
and
councilman
Shirley
and
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
B
If
you
want
to
see
that
take
a
look
we'll
leave
that
up
a
second
and
I
do
see
congratulate
Jennifer
Roberts,
who
put
in
there
that
they
passed
their
carf
Commission
of
accreditation
of
rehabilitative
facilities,
three-year
accreditation,
Fair
Center
again,
so
congratulations
there
as
well.
So
anybody
have
anything
else.
M
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everybody.
Just
listening
and
getting
this
update
is
kind
of
uplifting
everybody
working
together,
Jennifer,
that's
great
news:
Joey
will
work
with
you
to
update
all
the
assets
and
in
the
city
that
we
know
about
right,
Paul
and
I'd
like
to
ask
you
all
to
kind
of
think
about
a
PR
campaign
to
to
get
that
information
out
in
the
first
of
the
year.
M
Katie
do
get
with
me
on
specifics.
Of
of
those
meetings
would
love
to
participate,
particularly
connecting
Charleston
and
Colombia,
because
anything
that
brings
awareness
I
think
helps
the
effort.
I
guess.
My
only
question
was
about
what
what
can
we
do
to
get
that
67
percent
go
in
and
up
a
little
bit
and
and
time
short.
So
let
let
us
know
of
anything
you
think
the
city
can
do
to
help
in
that
regard.
But
this
is
this.
This
whole
committee
is
a
valuable
asset.
M
This
communication
and
focus
on
on
Health
in
our
community
is
terrific.
Thank
you
all
for
your
participation
this
year
we're
going
to
have
a
great
23
right,
Jennifer
I'm,
just
going
to
pick
up
on
your
optimism
and
enthusiasm
for
next
year
and
and
and
I
know,
they
moved
the
goal
post
a
little
bit
on
us
on
the
on
the
goals
from
90
to
95
right
with
Fast
Track
cities,
but
that's
all
right,
we'll
we'll
get
there.
We
were
almost
knocking
on
the
door.
M
They
are
on
two
two
of
the
three,
but
that
that's
good
goals
ought
to
be.
You
know,
stretch
goals
and
that
that
I
I
think
we
get
there,
but
that's
67.
Obviously
we
need
to
work
on,
but
you
know
the
500
people
right.
It's
just
a
matter
of
shaking
them
up
to
to
agree
to
go,
go
into
treatment
right
is:
is
there
anything
more
to
it
than
that?
Really.
C
I
I
mean
essentially
right.
It
is,
it
is
people
who
know
that
they
are
positive
but
are
not
in
care
and
I.
Think
you
know
again.
This
goes
back
to
what
Joey
was
saying
that
that
I
think
we
need
to
meet
people
where
they
are.
We
need
to
bring
Services
to
more
folks
in
our
community,
whether
that's
mobile
services
or
Telehealth.
C
C
We
we,
it's
got
to
be
a
collaboration
and
we've
got
to
address
the
stigma,
because
so
many
of
those
out
of
care
are
not
in
care
because
of
the
stigma.
So
that's
really
where
I
feel
like
we
can
work
together
to
say
that
HIV
is
no
longer
a
death
sentence.
It
is
a
chronic
disease
similar
to
diabetes,
similar
to
depression,
and
it
is
one
that
that
you
know
with
care.
People
can
live,
happy,
healthy
lives,
so
I
think
that
that's
our
task,
yeah.
