These are turbulent times in community health.
Federal funding that supports local health programs and food assistance is under threat. Climate change is bringing new health risks to neighborhoods. Vaccine confusion persists. And for many families, finding reliable health information — and affordable care — is only getting harder.
How is all of this affecting you?
Healthbeat is hosting a free community breakfast and conversation in Queens to hear directly from the people living and working through these challenges every day. We want to know:
- How are you coping with uncertainty in health policy and funding?
- What barriers are you facing when seeking care or trustworthy information for your or the clients you serve?
- What solutions are emerging in your community?
- What stories aren’t being told?
Join Healthbeat’s New York City reporter Trenton Daniel and me, Editor in Chief Charlene Pacenti, for a discussion about how health policy is playing out on the ground — in real neighborhoods, with real effects.
Whether you’re a concerned resident, health worker, epidemiologist, researcher, social worker, advocate, or someone serving your community another way, we want to hear your perspective. This conversation will help shape our reporting and ensure we’re covering the issues that truly impact Queens.
Admission and breakfast are free, but advance registration is required.
🗓 March 24, 9–10:30 a.m., King Manor Museum, 150-03 Jamaica Ave., Jamaica, Queens.
Come share your experiences. Help us tell the stories that need to be told. Register now to reserve your spot.
