Graduates from REALIZE Leadership program participated in a ‘handson’ practical session assessing their current performance management systems against better practices. Basically the Paso del Norte Health Foundation Board and Staff were always pleased to release the 2015 Annual Report for the Health Foundation and affiliated Foundations, Paso del Norte Foundation and Fundación Paso del Norte para la Salud y Bienestar. Therefore this person will manage media relations, organizational presence on web and through common media, and participate in development, implementation, and evaluation of strategic communication plans and products. Notice, Paso del Norte Institute for Health Living was probably looking to hire a Communications Coordinator. Launch was set at ElmCor, a huge nonprofit community based agency, that serves everybody from ‘pre schoolers’ all way to seniors.
We were led into room by Lady, accompanied by Deputy Mayor Richard Buery.
I’m sure that the excitement was palpable.
Packed into ElmCor’s gym were politicians, journalists, cameramen, photographers, and, yes. NYC Health Commissioner Mary Bassett and NYC Executive Deputy Commissioner of Mental Division Hygiene Gary Belkin were there, Lady responded, with her impressive knowledge, poise, and charisma. Nevertheless, the room was abuzz. Then the Mental Health solutions Conference earlier past month, was unveiling her ambitious, visionary program to refine mental health access in NYC. McCray, a powerful, courageous, warm leader, at IPS, and presenting her with the award. It was a brilliant morning made more brilliant by what they was about to witness. Have you heard about something like this before? She bravely talked about struggles with mental illness, including substance use disorder, in her own family as the impetus for ensuring that all newest Yorkers have access to care if they or an admired one probably was struggling with mental health problems.
Few shorter weeks before, I had meeting pleasure Ms.
McCray, the recipient of APA’s 2016 Patient Advocacy Award at IPS.
Ms. Notice, all so it’s reachable in English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese and in an extra 200 languages through a translator. Punctuated by applause, she described a program features that aims to make mental health care appointments reachable in a timely fashion, access to mobile cr teams manageable, or just provide a mental health care counselor to listen to a citizen’s mental health concern. It’s a well inspirational.
Accordingly the meeting was called to order, and the Lady spoke.
The pilot considered that people would wait less.
Whenever starting a Internet chat, or sending a text, notion was that any newest Yorker, despite insurance, income, or immigration status, will be able to access mental health care by just making a cellphone call. Stupendous! Doesn’t it sound familiar? Promise. Now this day was the day that her vision is realized, carefully operationalized in a fantastic program. Indeed, Corona is always rich in diversity and gumption.
With that said, I had been invited to this mythical place by newest Lady York City.
