The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) presented NYLPI Legal Director Hayley Gorenberg with a Distinguished Service Award this June in recognition of “your dedication and commitment to DOHMH’s response during the COVID-19 Pandemic.” Gorenberg joined the Emergency Partner Engagement Council in spring 2020, as the City health department sought to partner with NYLPI and other community organizations to develop and enhance community engagement strategies with at-risk populations in NYC. Gorenberg worked on medical access and messaging working groups, and through those groups brought colleagues from NYLPI’s Health Justice program to present to EPEC organizations and staff, and coordinated having NYLPI become a broadcast partner for a COVID-19 streamed event that reached more than 4,000 households.
