What problem would you like to solve?

 

People in our community dying when they do not have to from illnesses that has easy preventable treatments.


Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

[It is always important to save lives. Health is not something you solve. Being healthy is a normal request in everyone’s heart, a way of life. I don’t believe anyone wakes up wishing for an illness. 

What idea do you have to address the problem?

  • [To keep our community members healthy by extending healthcare services beyond the four walls of our hospitals. To treat minor illnesses, such as colds, ear infections, bronchitis, rashes high blood pressure and diabetes.

]

Who would that help?

[Anyone in the community in need of medical services]

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

[The bedford stuyvesant neighborhood would benefit from a mobile clinic in front of our worship center for a couple of hours every Saturday morning or every other Saturday morning with a couple of physicians assistants, nurse practitioners or 1st/2nd year residents. Many working mothers on their way to do their regular Saturday chores would stop by. This would avoid a trip to an over-crowed, understaff emergency room for minor illnesses]
