Discussion
 No urgent care centers in Cheektowaga.
 Urgent cares are helpful and starting in the right direction but look at hours of operation,
location. Define patient centered medical care. Coordinated care with personal doctors.
Shortage of PCPs.
 If you take the data from schools what does it look like and where is the system the strongest
and weakest. Correlation between dental health and mental health is strong
 Millenniumcc.org allows DSRIP to communicate. Community meetings, etc
 UB had medical site through HeadStart. Clinic, WIC.

Community Hub update: The committee reviewed and edited the survey for review. The survey will be
sent out to the coalition for any final edits and additions, and then piloted, before data collection starts.
The Mobile Safety-Net Team will oversee data collection.
Library Hub: United Way was consulted regarding their volunteer base. United Way needed additional
information, claiming that they don’t have volunteers that oversee the service need we would need for
the Library project. Whitney will continue to correspond with them and look to other sources for a
potential volunteer base.
