It’s simple, easy and important: Wash your hands! This week is National #HandwashingWeek. Now more than ever with #COVID19, the #flu and #RSV all spreading, wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. You will be protecting yourself and others.

Just as #DiabetesMonth wrapped up, @NYCHealthSystem announced that it reached its highest-ever rate of #A1C control. More than two-thirds of patients with #diabetes have an A1C level below 8 percent: https://t.co/C7CG4zHQJ4
As a part of our FEMA-funded construction, we are building a permanent flood barrier around our campus so we can continue to serve South Brooklyn during storms like #SuperstormSandy.
We are sending a big thank you to the students of The Shelter Rock Academy in New Hyde Park who donated "Gratitude Bags" to the hospital to give to homeless patients. The bags included water bottles, hygiene kits, thermal blankets, hats, gloves, socks and more.
To prepare for extreme cold weather, keep at least one-week supply of medications on hand in case conditions make it too dangerous to leave the house. More cold weather tips as temperatures continue to drop: https://t.co/Iekko0Unw1
