The Nassau County Departments of Health, Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol will conduct a Community Health Forum in the City of Long Beach at the Public Library, 111 West Park Avenue, Long Beach, on April 20th, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

At this meeting, residents will discuss public health issues they feel are important to them and to share their concerns and the needs of their community.

The two-hour meeting will include time for smaller groups to meet so that residents will be able to talk at greater length about specific health priorities and learn what resources are already in place.

At the end of the meeting, we hope to have a better understanding of what each community believes are its crucial public health issues.

The Commissioners from the Departments of Health, Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol will be available, as will representatives from the Nassau County Administration and Legislature.

This meeting is one of six to be held across Nassau County. Additional meetings will be held in the Towns of Hempstead, North Hempstead and Oyster Bay as well as the City of Glen Cove.

We encourage all residents to attend these free forums.

For additional information, residents may call the Nassau County Department of Health weekdays from 9:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. at 571- 2500.
