SUMMARY:SACSS Community Center: Free Hepatitis B Testing Event
DESCRIPTION:SACSS is pleased to announce a FREE Testing Event for Hepatitis B (Hep B) at our #Flushing Community Center on Wednesday\, August 24th\, 2022. This Free HepB Testing Event is being conducted in partnership with The Korean Community Services of Metropolitan New York and the CheckHep B Patient Navigation Program in NYC.\n\n \nThe goal of this Hep B Testing Event is to link people who test positive for Hep B to Patient Navigators at CheckHepB so that they can get access to the following services at no cost:\n \n\n\nHep B health promotion\,\nReferrals to supportive services\,\nLinkages to Hep B medical care\,\nAccompaniment to or reminders for medical appointments\,\nAlcohol and drug counseling\,\nCase conferencing\,\nTreatment readiness and adherence support\, and\nMedication access support.\n\n\n\nWhy get tested?\nGetting tested can lead to early treatment that may help prevent a longer-term infection. It can also help determine if you are a carrier\, or detect a resolved infection\, and/or determine if immunity has developed due to vaccination!\n\nWho should test?\nThe CDC recommends that everyone who was born in countries with prevalence of HBV infection\, or who were born in the US but were not vaccinated as infants (and whose parents were born in regions with high rates of HBV infection)\, should get tested\, among others. See here for more about Who Should Get Tested: https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hbv/hbvfaq.htm#:~:text=CDC%20recommends%20that%20the%20following\,prevalence%20of%20%E2%89%A58%25)\n\n \nFor more about this Free Testing Event\, email SACSS at: sacss@sacssny.org or call us: 718-791-2197\n\n \nFor more information about Check Hep B\, email: hep@health.nyc.gov or check this website: https://hepfree.nyc/check-hep-b-patient-navigation-program/\n\n \nTo find more about Hep B-related services in NYC\, visit: https://hepfree.nyc/site-locator/

SUMMARY:New York Presbyterian Hospital Physiotherapist
DESCRIPTION:On August 23\, SACSS held a presentation for our senior community members at our Senior Center for managing neck and back pain. The presentation was made by a physiotherapist from New York Presbyterian Hospital in English\, accompanied with live Hindi interpretation.  \nPhysiotherapists can have an important role in senior communities and their health — they can help seniors catch problems that might not seem like a big deal\, but could lead to bigger issues down the line. This very informative presentation was then followed by a Yoga class that focused on the issues discussed with the NYP physiotherapist. \n
