Can you provide specific examples of community feedback that have shaped or altered the direction of Healthy NYC?
Michelle Morse

Thank you so much for that question.
0:58:05
I think we have more work to do in that realm, but we do have, several approaches that we use to get feedback from communities directly about Healthy NYC.
0:58:15
So some of that happens in advisory councils or community board meetings that we attend.
0:58:21
Some of that also happens in regular meetings with some of our community based partners.
0:58:26
And then we also did have, for several years, a very, lengthy community engagement process across, the city where we really asked New Yorkers specifically what their priorities were for healthy for for their own health, and that did, contribute in some ways to the development of Healthy NYC.

The last thing that I'll just mention in this particular realm is we do hope to do more community engagement going forward around Healthy NYC and some of our champions and supporters for Healthy NYC are community based organizations as well.

Sure.
Mercedes Narcisse
0:59:02
Because that's not my hearing.
0:59:03
Okay.
0:59:04
As a nurse, I'm excited to ask question because I wanna see what the my chair is saying that we want to increase, the age like we're talking about black and brown community we have to play catch up all the time and if we can change that so that's the reason I'm always excited to see you and see all the the people that doing the work.
