To determine the community health priorities for 2016 - 2018, the Westchester County Department

of Health created the Westchester County Health and Hospital Planning Team (WCHHPT), a

collaboration of 12 community hospitals. Member hospitals are included in the appendix of this

Introduction

In 2016, NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital worked as a member of the Westchester County

Health and Hospital Planning Team (WCHHPT) under the guidance of the Westchester County

Department of Health to plan and execute a county-wide Community Health Needs Assessment

survey, and to collaborate on the identification of priority areas and planned health interventions for

2016-2018. Members of the WCHHPT included the Department of Health and representatives from

12 hospitals and healthcare providers who met seven times throughout the year. As a result of this

collaboration, survey results, and internal planning based on our hospital’s strengths, resources and

local community needs, NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital developed its 2016-2018

Community Service Plan.

Analysis of the County-wide survey results led members of the WCHHPT to select the New York State

Prevention Agenda Priority Area “Prevent Chronic Disease.” Within this selected priority, each

hospital analyzed survey results from their own primary and secondary service areas to determine

areas of focus and planned health interventions. Members of the WCHHPT discussed best practices,

ideas for interventions and opportunities for collaboration. Participation will continue and WCHHPT

will reconvene in March 2017 and meet quarterly to maintain partner engagement.

The NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital Community Service Plan 2016-2018 is further based on

responses from residents and providers within NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital’s primary

and secondary service areas in lower Westchester County, New York. This service area was defined

with the help of a consultant, Chartis Group, about five years ago through analysis of hospital data to

determine the zip codes where the majority of patients treated at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence

Hospital reside, and includes the following zip codes:

Primary MOUNT VERNON 10552

Primary YONKERS 10704

Primary TUCKAHOE 10707

Primary BRONXVILLE 10708

Primary EASTCHESTER 10709

Executive Summary

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital, located in the heart of southern Westchester County, New

York, is partnering with the Westchester County Department of Health and the area’s hospitals and

healthcare service agencies to fulfill requirements of the New York State Department of Health’s

Prevention Agenda 2016-18. In our efforts to meet the Agenda’s requirements, the Westchester

County Health & Hospital Planning Team (WCHHPT), including NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence

Hospital, conducted a Community Health Needs Assessment Survey to sample residents and

providers in the County and each hospitals’ or agencies’ service areas to determine which Prevention

Agenda initiative(s) it plans to address during this three year period. Surveys yielded 1,318 responses

and 733 were from within the subset of NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital’s primary and

secondary service areas.

Description of the Community Assessed

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital’s primary and secondary service areas are located in

Southern Westchester County, New York. Most of the hospital’s patients live in the following

communities: Bronxville, Eastchester, Mount Vernon, Pelham, New Rochelle, Scarsdale, Tuckahoe

and Yonkers. These communities are densely populated suburban and small city neighborhoods

which vary widely in demographics.

The service areas were determined about five years ago during a planning process initiated in

advance of seeking a new partnership with a major healthcare system. Working with a consultant

(Chartis Group), the top zip code areas for inpatient and outpatient services were identified. The

service areas were analyzed for a variety of patient categories (e.g., OB, surgery). The distinction



7

between primary and secondary service areas was based on the volume of patients, geography, and

other criteria (e.g., roadways, natural barriers).

Significant socioeconomic gaps exist among the communities served by NewYork-Presbyterian

Lawrence Hospital. According to population data from Westchester County Department of Health,

cited in “Westchester County Population Update, 2009-2013,” median household income ranges

from $49,328 in the City of Mount Vernon to $195,337 in the Village of Bronxville. Poverty rates,

ethnic diversity, education levels, prevalence of overcrowded housing, language spoken at home vary

widely from one neighborhood to the next. Demographic data from the County’s report based on

U.S. Census data is included in the appendix for each of the municipalities that fall within the

hospital’s primary service area.

Over a series of meetings in 2016, the Westchester County Health & Hospitals Planning Team crafted

and disseminated throughout Westchester County community assessment and provider surveys. In

addition to surveying the community at large, the team sought to identify a wide and varying range of

providers of health care services to ensure that as many areas of health care as possible could be

included in the surveys.

County-led meetings were held at the Westchester County Department of Health, 10 County Center

Road, White Plains, NY on the following dates:

In total 1097 residents of Westchester County responded to the community needs assessment

survey, and 218 responses were received from individuals representing 118 community agencies and

health providers surveyed within the county. Of the 1097 respondents, 733 reside within NewYork-

Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital’s primary and secondary service areas. Those responding on behalf

of providers represented agencies within our service area such as Andrus, Bronxville School District,

Cancer Support Team, Concordia College Student Health Center, and Jansen Hospice & Palliative

Care.

Identification of Prevention Agenda Priorities & Selected Disparity

The WCHHPT reviewed survey results from the Westchester County survey of 218 providers and 1097

residents along with results specific to the NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital service areas to

determine which Prevention Agenda initiative and focus area to pursue. In the community survey

results (Exhibit 1), the top five community health conditions or concerns residents identified were:

1. Obesity/Overweight

2. Care for the Elderly

3. Drug Abuse

4. Mental Health/Depression

5. Cancer

Questions about what health concerns respondents have about their own health yielded the highest

response around (1) nutrition and eating habits and (2) obesity and being overweight, followed by (3)

having a healthy environment, (4) women’s health, and (5) dental care. Community members

identified the top three health information sources they access as being (1) their doctor or healthcare

professional, (2) the internet, and (3) family and friends.

Providers of healthcare services surveyed identified the following health conditions and concerns

they see when treating their clients/patients:

1. Mental Health/Depression

2. Drug Abuse

3. Overweight/Obesity

4. Access to Specialty Care

5. Heart Disease/Stroke and Care for the Elderly (tied)

The survey results were discussed among members of the WCHHPT and reviewed in comparison to

data in the Westchester County Department of Health Community Health Assessment Update dated

January, 2016. County data indicates that in 2012, heart disease, stroke and other circulatory



9

diseases accounted for 39% of all deaths, and cancer accounted for 24% of all deaths. Heart disease

is the number one cause of death in Westchester County, followed by cancer.

Based on review of health data, survey findings, community feedback, the Prevention Agenda Action

Plan provided by New York State Department of Health, and collaboration with other providers, the

Westchester County Health & Hospitals Planning Team, including NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence

Hospital, decided to address the Prevention Agenda Priority Group Choice A (GCA): Preventing

Chronic Diseases. Hospital representatives came to consensus that choosing two areas of focus

under the umbrella of Preventing Chronic Disease was supported by the data collected, and was the

best choice and avenue to implement successful programs aligned with the strengths, service lines

and priorities of their organizations.

Survey results were further reviewed with members of the leadership team of NewYork-Presbyterian

Lawrence Hospital and weighed against existing resources, assets and strengths to determine our

priorities and two areas of local focus. Data was also discussed at a monthly meeting of the

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital Heart Disease Prevention Committee. This committee

comprises physicians, clinicians from the hospital’s interventional cardiology, emergency medicine

and nursing departments, nutrition, and marketing and administrative team members.

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital determined that it can best address the Prevention Agenda

Item Reducing Chronic Disease and the issue of premature cardiac related deaths by devoting present

and future resources to Hands-Only CPR education and interventions that address blood pressure,

cholesterol, cardiovascular health, diet, healthy Body Mass Index, and education. This plan of action

fits well with survey results which showed that the highest concern among community respondents

are around obesity and nutrition.

With cancer as the number two cause of death in Westchester County and the fifth highest area of

concern cited in our community survey results, addressing this second area of focus fits well with our

organizational strengths and assets. In November 2016, NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital

opened a new, state-of-the-art comprehensive Cancer Center to bring prevention measures,

screening, diagnosis, treatment, and return to wellness through survivorship programs all together in

one location. To support the Cancer Center, the Hospital recruited and built an experienced and

highly regarded team of physicians, surgeons, specialists and clinical providers, and established

disease management teams, expanded treatment options and ancillary offerings. The expanded

resources and team enhances the hospital’s ability to provide education and services out in the

community.



10

For 2016-2018, NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital will address the following Priority and Focus

Areas and Goals as prescribed by the NYS Prevention Agenda.

Priority Area: Prevent Chronic Disease

Focus Area 1: Reduce Obesity in Children and Adults

Goal: Expand the role of health service providers in nutritional education and obesity

prevention.

Interventions: Community Nutrition Education, Supporting Healthy Eating and Promoting

Physical Activity through partnerships and outreach.

Focus Area 2: Increase Access to High Quality Chronic Disease Preventive Care and Management in

Both Clinical and Community Settings

Goal: Increase screening rates for cardiovascular diseases and breast, lung, skin and

colorectal cancers, especially among disparate populations.

Interventions: Screenings facilitated by Clinical Navigators in collaboration with Physicians,

community initiatives including disease focused education campaigns, seminars and outreach

events.

To address a health care disparity through planned interventions, NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence

Hospital will focus on underserved communities with a focus on African American and Hispanic

communities, particularly in its interventions planned for increasing screening for breast cancer.

We will continue our diet and nutrition outreach and focus on the prevention and treatment of

cancer and heart disease. With the addition of the NewYork-Presbyterian Cardiac Catheterization

Laboratory, an expert interventional cardiology team and a dedicated Heart Disease Prevention

Committee which meets to plan interventions and outreach, NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence

Hospital clinical team leaders will perform screenings and interventions to educate and reduce the

incidence of heart disease and offer treatment to those in need.

The Breast Disease Management Team will lead the hospital’s intervention to increase the number of

women who are screened for breast cancer, with a focus on underserved women who have not

traditionally had access to mammography for financial or cultural reasons. Participants in internal

and community screening programs will be identified and tracked as part of a new New York State

grant funded mammography screening program to begin in 2017. In addition to breast screening,

interventions for the area of focus on cancer will also involve nurse navigators working in the

community to provide increased education, outreach and screenings for colorectal cancer.

Results from 2013 vs. 2016

The results of the 2016 CHNA expressed “mental health,” and “drug abuse” as the two top areas of

concerns for community health providers. “Mental health” was also cited the fourth highest area of

concern according to survey of the general community. These results are new to our health needs

assessment and did not show up on 2013 survey data and point to a growing concern and likely

prevalence of mental illness, depression and substance abuse.

While we are not citing this as one of the hospital’s Prevention Agenda focus areas, the executive

team and clinical staff is committed to devoting resources to education, outreach and interventions

to address this area of need. In 2016 the hospital hired a full time psychiatrist and has initiated

education around addiction, alcohol abuse and assorted mental health issues. These efforts will also

be utilized to support the community service plan of our local health department.

CSP Update for 2016

In the Hospital’s 2013-2016 Community Service Plan, NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital

selected two prevention agenda priority areas: (1) “Promoting Healthy Women, Infants and

Children,” for which we identified strategies to encourage pregnant and post-partum mothers to

choose to breastfeed their babies, and (2) “Preventing Chronic Diseases,” for which we focused on

Reducing Obesity in Children and Adults.

At the core of the interventions for preventing chronic diseases were the hospital’s Outpatient

Nutrition program, extensive community outreach and education around healthy eating, and a school

partnership with an underserved elementary school with a majority African American population in

Mount Vernon, NY.

Nutrition team members participated in dozens of community outreach events including: an annual

National Nutrition Month (March) Lunch and Learn program attracting 101 attendees. One of the

presentations was entitled “Experience a World of Healthy Flavors” in which the NewYork-

Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital Nutrition Team educated the audience about salt alternatives and

assisted them in developing their own salt-free season blends.

In 2016, one of our registered dietitians and facilitator of the Hospital’s Outpatient Nutrition program

led an Eat Right & Live Long educational series. Some of the presentations included:

• “Vegetarian Diet Principals for Heart Health”



12

• “Childhood Obesity”

• “Nutrition and Cancer – Making Healthy Decisions”

• “Nutrition and Breast Cancer”

Ninety two people attended the Eat Right series of educational programs. Also, during February’s

Heart Month, the Hospital’s Chef and members of the Nutrition Team hosted a “Dinner with the

Doctor” presentation featuring Anthony Mercando, MD, a board-certified cardiologist and member of

NewYork-Presbyterian Medical Group Westchester. Dr. Mercando and the nutrition team performed

a cooking demonstration highlighting heart healthy cooking and recipes.

To further address the focus area – Reducing Obesity in Children and Adults – NewYork-Presbyterian

Lawrence Hospital partnered with Traphagen Elementary School in Mt. Vernon for a special program

to help students discover the benefits of exercise and healthy eating called Project Fit America, Inc.

The program teaches elementary aged children how to get fit and eat right, reducing their risk for

cardiovascular disease. NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital underwrote a grant for Project Fit

America to implement its cardiovascular equipment, curriculum and educational support in an

underserved school within the hospital’s service area. By way of a competitive grant application

process led by Project Fit, Traphagen Elementary School was the recipient of the two year project.

New outdoor exercise equipment was installed, indoor exercise equipment was provided, and

curriculum and special training was provided to the school’s lead physical education teacher.

In order to measure the program’s effectiveness, the school identified and tested 343 different

elementary school aged children in the fall of 2014 and 2015 to develop a baseline for their fitness

levels. The program’s progress was determined by a second testing in the spring of 2015 and 2016.

Here is a synopsis of the program’s outcomes:

2014-2015 Testing Outcomes / 343 students served –Grades K-6:

This grant-supported partnership provided equipment, teacher training and curriculum improving

children’s cardiovascular health and monitored their progress for two years. The two-year program

ended in June 2016, and physical education teachers at Traphagen Elementary School will continue to

utilize the program’s curriculum and playground equipment which is a permanent fixture on the

school grounds. Project Fit America will continue to provide curriculum updates to Traphagen’ s staff

as well as in-service training and networking opportunities with other Project Fit Teachers based

throughout the country. NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital will continue to build its

relationship with Traphagen and provide ongoing student and parent health education and

screenings.

Report

As part of the collaborative planning and survey process, NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital

and members of the Westchester County Health and Hospital Planning Team reviewed Westchester

County data to determine the top health problems facing residents. According to a 2012 Westchester

County Department of Health report, heart disease accounted for 2,113 deaths or 31% of all deaths in

the county. It is the leading cause of death in the Westchester County.

While strides have been made in the detection and prevention of cancer, in Westchester County it is

still a major contributor to death and a loss of quality of life. In its 2008 to 2012 Cancer Report, the

Westchester County Health Department found that cancer is the second leading cause of death of

residents. Breast and prostate cancers are two of the top conditions patients are diagnosed with.

And, the highest incidence of prostate cancer is found in African American men.

With respect to obese and overweight residents in Westchester County, the Department of Health

conducted a Self-Reported Health Status Report in 2013 and 2014. In it, more than 58% of residents

described themselves as either overweight or obese. African American, Non-Hispanic women were

the largest group that described itself this way at a staggering 73%. Given these figures, NewYork-

Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital believes that this is a justifiable focus area and will continue to

address it in the next three year plan. Further, the Hospital’s clinicians understand the correlation



14

between excess weight and chronic health conditions. This is another reason why the Hospital’s team

selected “Preventing Chronic Diseases” as a priority area.

The aforementioned survey results further reinforce the Hospital’s chosen prevention agenda priority

– “Preventing Chronic Diseases” and its two focus areas – Reduce Obesity in Children and Adults and

Increase Access to High Quality Chronic Disease Preventive Care and Management in Both Clinical

and Community Settings. Given the high incidence of prostate cancer and obesity in the African

American community, the findings confirm the health disparity seen in that population

The following pages provide a chart to outline our Community Service Plans’ goals, interventions,

strategies and evidence-based or promising practices to fulfill this upcoming cycle of the NewYork-

Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital Community Service Plan 2016-2018.

Planned interventions outlined below were developed together with the hospital’s clinical nutrition

leaders, interventional cardiology clinical team and Heart Disease Prevention Committee, and the

Director, Program Coordinator, Nurse Navigator and clinical educators from the hospital’s Cancer

Center.

Local Health Department Community Health Improvement Plan

Westchester County Department of Health has committed to three areas of focus at the County level

for the 2016-18 CHIP cycle. In addition to the two focus areas under Prevent Chronic Disease, which

are the same areas being addressed by NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital, the county will

address a third area of focus as outlined in interventions planned by WCDOH:

I. Prevent Chronic Disease: Reduce Obesity in Children and Adults

II. Prevent Chronic Disease: Increase Access to High Quality Chronic Disease Preventative

Care and Management in Both Clinical and Community Settings

III. Promote Mental Health and Prevent Substance Abuse: Prevent Substance Abuse and Other

Mental Emotional Disorders

Interventions selected by WCDOH for the two Chronic Disease focuses were encouraged by activities

the department is pursuing with Hudson River HealthCare (HRHCare) through a Local Initiatives for

Multi-Sector Public Health Action (Local IMPACT) grant. Activities to address an additional focus of

Substance Abuse were selected as extensions of current initiatives to maximize limited resources. The

County anticipates a positive impact from these initiatives, in particular for six targeted high-needs

communities identified through the partnership between HRHCare and WCDOH.

To address the above three focuses, WCDOH will direct the necessary resources to implement and/or

continue to administer a number of programs/initiatives, including, but not limited to:

• Healthy Corner Store/Bodega Initiative: The County will work with stores to improve

availability and access to healthier foods.

• Worksite wellness program: The County will partner with worksites to adopt policies

committing to healthy meeting guidelines, modifying vending machine procurement policies

for healthier foods, and placing water/healthier food options to eye level. Also, to provide

resources including signage, sample policies, and messaging templates to encourage physical

activity. This initiative aligns with NewYork-Presbyterian’s annual employee STEPS Challenge,

which is designed to increase physical activity and cardiovascular health among employees

and is one of NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital’s planned interventions.

• Public signage initiative: Signage promoting physical activity including busses, bus stops, and

working with County Parks Department to assess/implement signage in parks and marked

walking paths.

• County “Keep Healthy” Campaign: WCDH creates various educational and promotional

materials for the public, also available to partner institutions and organizations.



19

• Work with community partners to offer of evidence-based self-management programs;

options (for which there are trained health educators at WCDH) include, the National Diabetes

Prevention Program, Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, and the Diabetes Self-

Management Program

• Interventions to address non-medical use of opiates including:

o Drop boxes for safe disposal of un-used medications

o Take-back events, where education may be offered concurrently.

o Public health education events regarding opioids, including naloxone trainings

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital will support the County’s planned initiatives through

continued participation in the WCHHPT coalition and through planning of initiatives, dissemination of

materials, and other efforts.

Plans to Maintain Engagement

The Westchester County Health and Hospital Planning Team is planning to reconvene in March 2017

at which time members will share updates regarding their respective Community Health

Improvement and Community Service Plans and interventions and strategies they’ve employed along

with what is working and what challenges they may be facing. The team is committed to convening

quarterly over the next three years as a way to maintain engagement with local partners.

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital will maintain engagement through its public affairs and

communications, and clinician outreach and networking in the community and with community

partners. Residents of lower Westchester receive health information and event and activities news

through our website, community newsletter, monthly email newsletter, social media, community

event calendars, local press and through information distributed through community partner

organizations. Social media around our work with the Westchester County Department of Health

will engage the County’s hash tag #keephealthy to share coordinated messages.

Public Disseminations of the Plan

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital will post a copy of the Executive Summary of the 2016–

2018 Community Service Plan on the Hospital’s website – nyp.org/lawrence. We will also announce

its posting via the Hospital’s newsletters, in our community newsletters and in social media.

Robert P. Astorino, Westchester County Executive

Sherlita Amler, MD, Commissioner of Health

In November 2015, the New York State Health Commissioner sent a letter to all local

health department commissioners and hospital chief executive officers to provide an

update on New York’s progress in meeting the goals of the 2013-2017 Prevention

Agenda, NYS’ health improvement plan to become the healthiest state. The letter

asked health departments and hospitals to work together to review community health

data and to identify two Prevention Agenda priorities for 2016-2018.

Local health departments are required to conduct Community Health Assessments

(CHA) and to submit a three-year Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). In April,

the Westchester County Department of Health (WCDH) convened a meeting with

Westchester County hospitals to discuss the process for conducting a joint health

assessment. This group worked together to develop and conduct surveys among health

care providers and members of the public. The surveys were intended to capture

important health issues affecting the communities in which they serve and/or live.

Survey questions included providers’ and communities’ perceptions of the most

needed services, barriers to providing/receiving services, and ways to improve access

to services.

Surveys were made available in paper-format and online through Survey Monkey.

Surveys were offered in multiple languages; WCDH translated the survey into Spanish

and hospitals had the survey translated into other languages. Both WCDH and hospitals

were responsible for survey distribution. Paper forms for community members were

placed in waiting areas of various service agencies and hospitals. In addition, WCDH

had staff onsite at service locations to assist and encourage underserved populations to

complete the survey. Online links for the provider and community surveys were

distributed through listservs available to the WCDH, hospitals, and community-based

organizations. A total of 1,318 community surveys and 218 provider surveys were

conducted from May 16, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

This data brief presents the main findings from the two surveys.

Discussion

The objective of these two surveys was to assess the health status and health care needs among Westchester County residents. Due to limited time and funding, responses were collected through convenience sampling instead of random sampling. As a result, this created certain biases in the survey results. For example, the community survey respondents skewed toward being female, older, less employed, and with a greater percentage citing English as their primary language compared to the general Westchester population. The use of online forms was also dependent on computer/internet access and literacy, which likely precluded many of the underserved that the survey intended on reaching.

The following table demonstrates how the community survey sample population compared to Westchester

County as a whole:

The results nevertheless highlight areas of public health concern, demonstrated by the frequencies of responses

to each list item. Although the results of this survey cannot be generalized to the larger population, the survey

results along with the other data sets were reviewed by the WCDH and hospitals in the selection of priorities. In

particular, service-area specific analyses at the sub-county level were provided to hospitals for a customized

view with which to focus their initiatives.
