B
Well
good
afternoon,
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
We
want
to
welcome
you
to
what
we
think
is
a
really
really
exciting
announcement.
It's
a
roll
out
of
two
different
initiatives
that
we
think
are
under
the
well
are
under
the
mayor's
health
commission
that
are
going
to
have
a
significant
impact
on
on
this
community.
B
The
commission's
coach
here
by
dr
stephen
leichter
and
mr
phil
schuler,
dr
leicher,
a
noted
endocrinologist
will
head
up
the
educational
component
and
mr
shooter
will
coordinate
the
mobile
units.
I
cannot
say
enough
good
things
about
the
amazing
work
of
the
board,
the
commission
that
they
have
led
and
and
the
partnerships
that
have
been
created
that
are
are
geared
towards
making
this
a
success.
B
I
got
to
tell
you.
The
city
of
columbus
has
also
helped
to
supplement
this
we've
placed
kiosks
in
touch
screen
kiosks
in
five
of
our
rec
centers
nine
more
coming
very
shortly,
and
in
addition
to
being
able
to
provide
access
to
job
opportunities,
job
skill,
training
and
development,
food
banks,
other
services
they're
also
going
to
have
the
ability
to
identify
where
these
mobile
resource
units
are
at
any
given
time.
B
Our
our
our
ultimate
goal
is
to
have
it
real
time
where,
through
gis,
if
somebody
wants
to
know
where
one
of
these
facilities,
where
one
of
these
resource
vans
is
they
can
go,
identify
it
on
that
screen
and,
in
addition,
sheriff
greg
countryman
had
been
awarded
a
grant
that
allowed
him
to
purchase
a
mobile
gaming
facility,
and
they
are
also
going
to
be
a
part
of
this
initiative.
When
available
to
to
make
that
happen.
B
As
I
said,
the
board
has
done
just
an
absolutely
incredible
job
city
councilor
pops
barnes
was
at
the
genesis
of
this
when
he
and
dr
leichter
was
talking
about
the
educational
component.
What
started
out
as
a
a
a
desire
to
try
to
go
out
to
the
neighborhoods
and
create
opportunities
for
them
to
engage
in
activities
that
would
lead
to
a
healthier
lifestyle,
has
turned
into
a
very
comprehensive
approach
to
benefiting
the
entire
community.
C
Good
afternoon
I'm
steve
lichter,
I'm
the
senior
endocrinologist
at
piedmont,
healthcare,
not
only
in
columbus
but
all
of
freemont
healthcare,
and
I'm
very
excited
about
seeing
this
come
to
fruition.
After
two
years
we
have
divided
the
activities
of
the
commission
into
two
phases
and
they
complement
each
other.
C
The
world
health
organization
defines
an
apple
body
shape
as
someone
who
has
a
waist
size,
that's
more
than
one
times
the
hip
size.
So
if
you
divide
the
size
of
your
hips
into
the
size
of
your
waist
and
if
the
result
is
one
or
greater,
that's
an
apple
body
shake
the
significance
of
that
is
that
the
fat
pad
in
the
abdomen
that
gives
people
an
apple
shape,
makes
more
hormones
than
any
other
tissue
in
the
body.
And
you
don't
want
most
of
those
hormones.
C
The
other
group
of
hormones
which
we're
going
to
focus
on
a
lot
are
called
inflammatory,
kinans
or
hormonal
factors
that
inflame
body
tissue
and
these
hormones
are
secreted
more
in
people
with
an
apple
shape,
the
more
of
an
apple
shape.
They
have
the
more
of
these
hormones
they
make,
and
these
hormones
attack
the
heart,
blood
vessels,
the
pancreas
bone
and
joints,
and
so
people
with
an
apple
body
shape
have
a
higher
risk
of
heart
disease,
stroke,
cancer,
diabetes,
osteoporosis,
osteoarthritis
and
up
to
14
times
higher
risk
of
requiring
joint
replacement
surgery.
C
C
C
Now
I've
done
things
before
with
my
friend
pops
barnes,
who
was
a
nurse
that
had
to
put
up
with
me
for
years
at
piedmont
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
through
the
faith
community
and
pops
has
shown
me
how
dealing
with
the
faith
community
is
a
very
important
way
of
impacting
on
people
in
the
city.
And
so
I
don't
want
you
to
think
that
that's
not
going
to
be
an
important
part
of
our
efforts
now
getting
a
message
out
also
requires
giving
people
the
opportunity
to
follow
a
healthy
lifestyle.
D
Thank
you,
dr
elector.
I
am
so
excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
initiative
in
all
the
in
all
the
things
that
I
think
mayor,
henderson
has
done,
or
the
ideas
and
visions
that
he's
had.
D
D
So
many
really
great
leaders
around
columbus
in
a
partnership,
as
dr
lechter
was
saying,
and
the
mayor
was
saying,
we
are
working
with
everyone
from
you-
know:
piedmont
to
emory
to
other
healthcare
providers
in
the
community
united
way,
feeding
the
valley.
Just
there's
too
many
that
there's
no
way
I
could
name
them
all.
D
Talks
about
two
are
better
than
one,
because
they
have
a
good
reward
for
their
labor
and
then
it
states
a
three-fold
court
is
not
quickly
broken,
and
so
the
best
part
about
what
we're
doing
is
to
bring
everybody
together
and
to
work
together,
and
so
on.
My
side
of
of
the
initiative
we've
put
together
four
three
three
arms
of
a
mobile
vehicle
program
that
will
go
out
into
targeting
these
underserved
areas.
D
When
you
look
at
the
rates
of
how
many
people
die
from
cardiovascular
disease,
it's
a
lot
more
people
in
columbus
per
average
than
it
is
in
any
other
place
in
georgia
or
the
nation,
just
the
averages
in
georgia
or
the
nation.
This
this
burden
is
it's
just
so
much
greater
in
our
city,
and
so
this
initiative
is
focused
on
helping
reduce
that
burden
and
really
raise
just
shape
a
better
future
for
columbus
by
improving
the
health
of
everybody.
So
the
the
mobile
health
clinic,
the
department
of
health
also
just
recently
got
a
mobile
health
clinic.
D
That's
going
to
join
as
well.
There
they're
going
to
really
try
to
uncover
chronic
illness.
That's
underlying
that
citizens
have
maybe
bad
diabetes
or
other
things
that
are
going
on
and
then
once
they
uncover
that
get
those
people
connected
to
a
primary
care
physician
who
can
bring
them
under
their
care
and
really
get
that
under
control.
D
D
When
you
we
looked
at
the
numbers
again
at
the
start,
food
insecurity,
there's
an
incidence
of
21
of
people
in
columbus,
reported
that
they
just
don't
have
enough
food,
they're
struggling
and
that's
versus
16
percent
for
the
state
of
georgia,
so
columbus
again
there
with
the
food
insecurity,
a
higher
burden
than
the
state
and
then
the
national
average
as
well,
and
so
in
partnership
with
feeding
valley,
they're,
going
to
take
food
out
with
this
mobile
vehicle
and
just
give
away
healthy
food
to
many
of
these
people
who
just
don't
have
enough.
D
The
second
part
of
that
program
is
going
to
be
to
connect
with
local
farmers
like
mercymed
and
others
in
the
area
and
also
offer
those
people
the
ability
to
purchase
healthier
foods
and
they'll
get
through
a
sponsorship
and
a
partnership
with
some
other
nonprofit
organizations.
They'll
be
able
to
get
twice
as
much
food
using
their
snap
benefits.
So
it's
a
really
great
program.
D
The
third
mobile
vehicle
program
is
going
to
be
under
the
leadership
of
holly
browder
and
parks
and
rec
the
partnership
with
them
and
she's
going
to
run
a
mobile
roland
rec
mobile
is
what
she
calls
it.
A
vehicle
that's
going
to
go
out
and
just
try
to
get
people
in
the
community
moving
get
them
active
exercise.
D
B
D
So
the
timeline
is
the
mobile
recreation.
Vehicle
has
been
ordered,
interestingly,
that
what
we
really
wanted
would
have
taken
two
years
to
get,
and
so
we
settled
for
an
f-350
gonna
get
a
trailer
holly.
D
It
is
anticipated
that
we
should
be
getting
that
late
spring
early
summer,
the
other
vehicles,
the
mobile
health
clinic
piedmont's,
doing
some
renovations
on
that
right
now
and
the
mobile
food
market.
Those
are
expected
to
kind
of
really
be
getting
out
in
the
community
late
march,
so
all
of
it
late
spring
early
summer.
We
really
hope
to
have
kind
of
everything
coming
together
and
getting
out
there.
B
Let
me
add
one
thing
to
that,
too,
that
one
of
the
visions
of
this
they're
going
to
have
their
own
routes,
so
they
can
go,
do
some
of
the
screening.
Now
they
can
go,
deliver
some
of
the
food
and
go
make
that
available
to
some
of
the
food
deserts
in
our
community.
But
the
exciting
piece
is
what
they
do
is
phil
is
talking
about
the
synergy
created
from
all
of
these
rolling
together,
because
we
envisioned
a
time
and
by
the
way,
even
though
we're
waiting
on
a
vehicle
we're
not
waiting.
D
Yeah,
so
there
are
other
types
of
mobile
vehicles
in
other
places
there
are
mobile
health
clinics
or
there
are
even
some
mobile
pantries,
not
as
many
of
those
but
but
what's
really
unique
to
columbus.
Is
this
the
mayor's
health
commission
that
is
really
forming
the
unity
and
the
collaborative
partnership
and
the
synergy
so
that
all
of
those
are
really
working
together?.
C
Now,
on
top
of
that,
my
side
operation
is
to
make
sure
that
it
is
a
filtering
of
the
information
about
why
this
is
so
important
for
people
through
the
providers
in
town,
health
organizations
in
town
and
other
organizations
as
well,
such
as
the
colleges
schools,
so
that
there's
an
underpinning
of.
Why
is
it
important
because
up
to
now,
having
done
this
as
long
as
I've
done,
this
I've
seen
all
kinds
of
health
and
wellness
messages?
You
know
you
really
need
help.
C
C
That's
eventually
going
to
give
you
cancer
and
people
don't
know
them.
They
don't
know
that
they're
making
these
hormones
from
belly
fat,
that's
causing
the
acceleration
of
the
processes
they
give
people
those
diseases.
So
it's
trying
to
get
an
underpinning
of
awareness
of
why
this
is
important
and
then
the
opportunity
to
exercise
those
steps
necessary
to
make
it.
B
For
that
person
a
reality
and
so
to
build
all
that
the
mobile
resource
units,
one
of
the
things
we're
excited
about
the
health
piece-
is
critical,
but
the
recreation
I
think,
is
going
to
help
to
build
some
excitement
around
the
these
three
different
vehicles
arriving
and
what
it
also
allows
us
to
do
where
we
have
some
limited
resources
from
parks
and
rec,
and
right
now,
with
labor
shortage.
It's
hard
for
us
to
find
programmers.
This
allows
us
to
put
a
programmer
in
that
vehicle
and
go
to
these
neighborhoods.
C
And
let
me
give
you
a
link
of
how
this
scientifically
occurs.
You
go
exercise
from
the
fat
pad
in
your
abdomen.
You
make
a
hormone
you've,
never
heard
of
before
called
the
adenopective
which
protects
your
arteries
from
the
attack
from
these
inflammatory
chemicals
that
are
coming
out.
So
all
you
have
to
do
is
exercise
30
minutes,
walk
vigorously,
30
minutes.
A
What's
kind
of
the,
how
often
do
you
guys
plan
on
having
these
units
go
out?
Is
it
weekly
monthly
weekdays
weekend.
D
So
weekly
and
we'll
start
out,
obviously
with
the
smaller
scale,
but
the
the
goal
is
to
really
ramp
that
up
to
multiple
days
a
week,
and
then
we
really
would
like
to
plan
successive
big
event
days.
If
you
will,
where
they're
all
just
kind
of
you
know
connecting
and
all
of
the
vehicles
are
there
at
the
same
place,
and
just
so
that
can
be
a
place
where
people
can
just
get
whatever
they
need.
D
What
were
the
conversations
around
that?
What
are
the
thresholds
or
yes,
we
need
to
go
to
these
areas
so
a
couple
of
parts
we
through
the
partnership,
where
everybody
just
kind
of
comes
together
and
typically
because
of
kova
we've
done
that
virtually
we'll
work
with
the
united
way,
the
columbus
housing
authority,
piedmont
and
emory.
D
Both
they
have
data
on
the
zip
codes,
if
you
will,
where
there's
a
higher
burden
of
these
conditions
and
and
the
places
where
there's
a
higher
incidence
of
food
insecurity,
so
just
through
kind
of
everybody
coming
together
and
talking
through
that.
Looking
at
the
data,
that's
how
we
identify
you
know
the
places
and
and
honestly
those
are
usually
the
same
places.
D
B
I
think
you'll
see
most
of
these
locations
and
the
schedules
being
driven
by
the
mayor's
commission
they'll
be
input
provided
by
city
council
and
by
other
individuals
like
if
they
know
some
areas
within
their
district.
That
is
really
struggling
either
having
access
to
food
or
just
they're,
not
taking
advantage
of
some
of
some
folks.
Let's
face
it,
aren't
even
going
to
go
to
a
church
to
get
some
of
these
resources.
So
it
will
in
all
likelihood
be
driven
from
a
from
a
scheduling
standpoint
by
the
textures,
where
they're
approaching.
D
Need
and
where
were
they
so
well,
I
wrote
it
down
so
initially.
F
D
Of
the
areas
of
focus
are
going
to
be
wilson,
apartments
areas,
patriot
point
arbor
point:
warren
williams,
nicholas
nicholson,
terrace,
bj,
knight
and
those
again.
Those.
B
D
A
lot
of
the
areas
where
we
were
talking
actually
yesterday
and
olivia
amos
had
mentioned
those
were
the
recommended
areas
from
the
housing
authority
and
then
melanie's
close
with
piedmont,
who
kind
of
runs
the
mobile
health
clinic.
It's
like
we're
going
to
a
lot
of
those
same
areas,
so
there's
just
that
overlap
so,
but
so
the
housing
authority
has
been
a
big
help
in
that,
but
the
the
hospitals
also
gather
data,
which
kind
of
ties
into,
for
instance,
where
are
they
seeing
the
most
readmissions
come
from
those
type
of
things
as
well.
A
Thank
you.
You
mentioned
that
columbus
led
the
state
and
probably
the
nation
and
those
type
of
situations
in
terms
of
heart
disease,
strokes,
diabetes.
How
did
columbus
get
that?
I'm
assuming
when
you
mention
commons
you're,
going
to
probably
have
to
throw
big
cities
around
the
area
in
the
same
basket?
What
did
this
area
do
differently
and.
F
How
how
did
we
get
here?
I'd
like
to
answer
that
question
I've
been
waiting
and
mikey
must
have
been
reading
my
mind.
You
know
we
have
that
esp,
I'm
going
to
tell
you.
This
is
not
a
spin-off
from
any
other
place.
That's
the
exciting
part
about
this.
There
was
a
movie
a
couple
years
ago
with
fantastic
adventures.
Avoiding
this
is
a
fantastic
adventure.
F
F
F
So
the
mayor
and
my
good
friend
steve
here
got
the
leicester
got
together
and
he
started
talking.
That
was
the
gem
of
this.
This
cannot
fail.
I
want
to
tell
you
why,
because
you
have
the
educational
component
teaching
about
upper
body
shape.
You
have
a
lot
of
resources
from
the
mayor's
office.
Come
on
now
think
about
the
swath
of
that
and
his
dream.
F
His
baby,
then
you
have
phil.
Phil,
has
done
a
exceptional
job.
In
fact,
I
think
under
his
under
that
red
tie
is
a
little
s
or
something
cause
he's
done
a
lot
of
work
with
this
year,
pulling
in
all
the
the
parts
here.
F
This
cannot
be
the
exciting
part
about
this
is
we
think
everyone
in
this
room
can
identify
with
someone
who
has
hypertension,
heart
disease,
kidney
failure,
something
that's
linked
and,
as
dr
lightning
said,
a
lot
of
people
don't
realize
how
they
believe
that's
linked
to
to
diet
and
nutrition.
All
the
things
that
we're
speaking
about-
and
so
this
is
this
is
the
time
every
successful
adventure
had
time
in
the
mix.
This
is
crucial
and
the
exciting
part
is
that
it's
emanating
from
the
mayor,
the
best
endocrinologist.
F
I
know
this
cannot
fail,
I'm
excited
about
it
for
all
of
us
and
the
community
is
going
to
wrap
this
up
and
gobble
this
up,
because
this
is
a
win-win-win
for
columbus.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
concept.
My
very
very,
very
good
friend
here,
who's
like
around
ronkowski
tom
brady
in
one
when
it
comes
to
medical
and
science,
and
so
that's
my
I
said
I
had
to
get
that
help.
E
D
D
There
is
absolutely
the
the
food
mill
works
under
the
umbrella
of
you
grow
and
they
are
all
about
just
getting
that
bigger
in
the
community,
the
healthier
foods,
the
urban
farming,
the
all
of
those
things,
so
that
absolutely
part
of
it
and
another
component
will
be
just
the
the
fact
that,
as
a
part
of
this
mobile
farmers,
market
they're
gonna
do
some
just
education
and
cooking
demonstrations
and
other
things.
You
know
a
lot
of
times.
D
People
will
get
these
free,
healthy
foods,
then
they
sit
at
home
and
they
don't
ever
use
them,
and
so
we
want
to
teach
them
make
sure
hey.
This
is
this
is
how
you
cook
it
and
make
it
simple,
make
it
easy
and
then
just
do
everything
we
can
to
help
them
not
only
get
that
food,
but
then
to
prepare
it
and.
B
B
Ancillary
things,
but
it
all
fits
neatly
into
the
overall,
the
overarching
goal
of
what
the
mayor's
commission
is
doing,
that
is
trying
to
provide
a
healthier
lifestyle
and
access
to
the
things
that
will
help
you
obtain
a
healthy
lifestyle.
We
can
even
envision
when
we
go
out
when
we
put
all
of
them
rolling
in
one
area,
we'll
call
some
corporate
citizens
to
bring
a
big
grill
out.
B
There
show
these
folks
how
to
prepare
this
stuff
so
that
it
tastes
good
and
helping
so
many
of
these
people
in
these
food
deserts,
even
the
ones
that
have
food
it
comes
in
a
bag
right.
It
comes
it's
chips
and
it's
crackers,
it's
stuffed,
and
it's
just
not.
You
heard
them.
I
won't
get
into
the
measure
stuff,
but
but
they
don't
have
access
to
to
fresh
grown
vegetables.
B
They
don't
have
access
to
healthier,
nutritious
foods,
and
where
this,
where
part
of
this
originated,
was
talking
to
a
vet
scarborough
over
at
fox
elementary
some
of
the
challenges
they
have
at
school,
the
kids
that
just
don't
have
enough
to
eat
and
how
they
struggle
to
try
to
keep
these
kids
help,
keep
them
moving
towards.
Where
they
need
to
be-
and
it's
almost
impossible,
if
they
don't
have
access
to
nutritious
healthy
meals,.
D
E
Then
that
food
desert
began
to
happen
and
the
health
problems
began
to
then
you
began
to
see
the
heart
disease,
the
obesity,
the
diabetes,
and
that
was
a
two
generational
change,
and
that
is
part
of
where
we
are
now.
So
if
we
could
go
back
to
encouraging
people
not
just
to
have
access
to
it
but
to
help
create
it.
E
B
There
are
organizations
that
are
working
on
the
education
piece
matter
of
fact,
there's
still
under
negotiation,
an
rfp
out
at
the
old
farmers
market,
and
at
least
one
idea
was
to
try
to
return
that
to
a
farmers
market.
True
farmers
market
for
people
that
grow
these
urban
vessels
and
urban
artists
and
bring
them
to
sell.
D
So
we're
still
kind
of
figuring
out
the
details
on
that
end.
So
the
short
answer
is,
I
don't
know
exactly
what
it'll
look
like
yet,
but
it
it
likely
in
those
areas
every
week,
but
it
may
start
with.
You
know,
hitting
some
of
those
areas
and
then,
within
a
two
or
three
weeks
being
in
all
of
those
areas.
