Using the @AllinaHealth data warehouse, a data team was created to identify patients whose clinical data suggest that a cardiovascular referral may be appropriate, and a specialist review team was created to verify need: https://t.co/xKnqsyopnK

Just your little reminder that abortion bans violate Jewish women and families' religious freedom.

As Dr. @davechokshi ends his tenure as @NYCHealthCommr, check out some favorite moments from recent Health Department PSAs ⬇

[Dr. Alister Martin @NYCHealthCommr]

New data from @nycHealthy: Unvaccinated NYC adults who previously had #COVID19 were *more than twice as likely* to get reinfected, experience illness, and be hospitalized than people who were vaccinated after infection. 🧵https://t.co/jzdl4ACCd3

[Dr. Alister Martin @NYCHealthCommr]

Serving as the NYC Health Commissioner during this extraordinary moment in our City's history has been the privilege of a lifetime. To see our City through this latest #COVID19 wave, I will be continuing my service through March 15. 🧵

When we were thinking through these major new vaccine policies announced today, we had a few groups of New Yorkers in mind.

[NYC Health + Hospitals @NYCHealthSystem]

To care for individuals with opioid-use disorder in times of #COVID19, we have created a virtual buprenorphine (suboxone) clinic to meet patients wherever they are and whenever they can in a highly flexible setting. Learn more: https://t.co/1ha6njYfpF

Today @NYCMayor and I announced major new vaccine policies ⬇
1. A vaccine mandate for private-sector workers. The mandate, which will take effect on December 27, will apply to roughly 184,000 businesses. More guidance coming next week for businesses. 🧵

Yesterday, Overdose Prevention Centers started saving lives in New York City. These centers, also referred to as supervised consumption sites or facilities, are safe places where people who use drugs can receive medical care and be connected to treatment and social services. 🧵

[Dr. Alister Martin @NYCHealthCommr]

This week, @nycHealthy announced the formation of the Coalition to End Racism in Clinical Algorithms (CERCA). A thread on this groundbreaking effort, spearheaded by our inaugural Chief Medical Officer, Dr. @michellemorse: https://t.co/oYFpCDN5vV 🧵

Cuomo barring officials at the state Health Department from working directly with their counterparts in New York City, which was the epicenter of the pandemic, is the most damning revelation in the swab doctor's testimony, IMO. https://t.co/aktrCkS8xz

A little NYC vaccine history: Just 65 years ago, the first polio vaccine was approved — thanks in part to New Yorkers’ participation in the vaccine trials. 🧵 with thanks to @nycrecords: https://t.co/2Pft2LF3ho

[Dr. Alister Martin @NYCHealthCommr]

Today I am issuing a Commissioner’s Order mandating vaccination for all City workers. This is a necessary step to further ensure their safety – and to help protect those whom we serve. Most city workers will have to submit proof of vaccination by 5 p.m. Friday, October 29. 🧵

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Like too many New Yorkers, I know what it's like to lose a loved one to addiction—there’s an empty chair at our family table where my nephew, Michael, should be. This is personal for me. Today we’re taking action to combat the opioid epidemic and offer New Yorkers hope. Thread⬇️

[Dr. Alister Martin @NYCHealthCommr]

The increase in vaccinations we're seeing is correlated with our strategies -- $100 incentive, vax or test for City workers, and Key to NYC. More doses happened because of incentives and mandates.

[Olga Khazan ME, BUT BETTER @olgakhazan]

Here's a pickle: Officials say to "talk to your doctor" if you have vaccination concerns. But some doctors are discouraging patients with unusual medical conditions from getting vaccinated. Vaccine experts say those doctors are wrong https://t.co/NedMpYorc2

[Dr. Alister Martin @NYCHealthCommr]

It’s a hot week as we dry out from Henri — and it’s a good time to explore how the history of our city affects just how hot your neighborhood might get.

Some health policy trivia: The threat to withhold Medicare funding more than half a century ago forced America's hospitals to end racial segregation.
