The Brancati Center
for the Advancement of Community Care
for the Advancement of Community Care
It is the mission of the Brancati Center to improve the health of communities by developing new models of healthcare in partnership with community organizations. Our Center is organized into three well-integrated units: Community Program Implementation, Education, and Community-based Research. Our focus is on providing access to evidence-based programs through partnerships with the community where people live, as well as to demonstrate outcomes.
In the May issue of the Bulletin, we say goodbye to Dr. May Maw and Mamadou Sy. May has served as our data analyst in the Brancati Center since 2018 and has really contributed to our success; this is a bittersweet farewell, but we truly wish her all the best. Mamadou Sy joined us this year while he was completing his Master's in Health Behavior and Society at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. He really made an impression with his hard work and his welcoming spirit; we know he will do great things in his Ph.D. We do want to remind you that COVID-19 is still with us, and many of you are eligible for a second bivalent booster. Finally, let's take a moment to remember that issues with mental health affect our community, even if they're not obvious. Be sure to extend a helping hand and support to all of your loved ones.
