Assemblywoman Diana Richardson (Crown Heights, Lefferts Gardens) is continuing to hold her regular “Civic Minded” meetings, in which she invites civic organizations, block associations, religious institutions, education, law enforcement and medical professionals, and constituents to go over issues of the day.
Richardson’s next Get Civic Minded meeting will cover the New York State Department of Health’s Northwell Study, which covers Brooklyn healthcare transformation and the possible consolidation of services between those that cover Central Brooklyn including New York City Health + Hospitals/Kings County, Interfaith Medical Center, Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, Wycoff Heights Medical Center ,Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, and SUNY Downstate Medical Center.
“Attendees will gain insight on the weaknesses and strengths emphasized by the report, in regards to the various hospitals. Findings highlighted in this report could ultimately change the make-up of our community hospitals. The restructuring of these health facilities will ultimately affect your everyday health-related decision making, so it is important to get involved,” said Richardson, adding their will also be continued discussion on the fight to make the proposed redevelopment of the Bedford Armory 100% affordable.
The Get Civic Minded meeting is slated for 12 noon, this Saturday, Jan. 28 at 400 Empire Boulevard on the Crown Heights/Lefferts Gardens border.
KCP usually puts these kinds of informational notices in our signature Brooklyn Lawmakers on The Move roundup, which we post every morning five days a week. However, along with the email we received from Richardson’s office announcing the meeting, she sent along the following YouTube video clip of the announcement that we enjoyed so much, we decided to run as a separate post.
