1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,080
Hey everybody, I'm Mayor Joyce L. Davis
and welcome to Mayor on the Move.

2
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,800
One of our priorities in the City of
Dania Beach is building partnerships

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:24,360
that make a real difference in people's
lives. That's why I'm excited to

4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:29,360
announce that Memorial Healthcare System
is bringing One City at a Time, better

5
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:35,480
known as O CAT, back to the City of
Dania Beach on October 17th from 10:00

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:41,400
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. right here at C.W.
Thomas Park. Today, I'm so excited to be

7
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:45,480
joined by Adara Adams, Director of
Community Services for Memorial

8
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,840
Healthcare, to tell us just a little bit
more about O CAT and what our residents

9
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,720
can expect.
>> Awesome, and thank you again so much for

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,600
having us here with you. As you
mentioned, One City at a Time,

11
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,720
affectionately known as O CAT, is
Memorial Healthcare System's community

12
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,320
health initiative that we designed to be
able to bring healthcare, education, and

13
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,960
resources directly to the communities
that we serve. Our goal really is

14
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,720
simple, to make healthcare more
accessible. We created O CAT because we

15
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,000
know there are many barriers that
prevent people from having access to the

16
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,400
care that they need, whether that's
transportation, cost, anything. And so,

17
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:20,240
Memorial's goal is to bring the services
closer to our residents, where they

18
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:24,360
live, work, and raise their families.
>> Dania Beach was one of the first

19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:29,240
communities selected for O CAT. Why did
Memorial choose Dania Beach and what

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,960
makes our partnership so special?
>> had a very long-standing partnership

21
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,000
between Memorial and the City of Dania.
It is an important part of our South

22
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Broward community, which is the area
that we serve. When we first developed

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,840
our One City at a Time initiative, we
really looked at our communities that

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:45,040
were within our district, where we saw
opportunities to improve access to

25
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,200
healthcare, and Dania Beach was one of
those communities. I love that. So,

26
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:53,880
let's talk about the relaunch on October
17th. What can residents expect when

27
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,560
they join us at C.W. Thomas Park? This
is going to be a family event. We're

28
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,080
going to have something for everyone.
For the healthcare piece, we're going to

29
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,120
have our mobile health vans here
providing health screenings,

30
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,960
immunizations, and education. And then
we're going to bring a variety of our

31
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,679
different community partners to give
access to resources and services. But

32
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:13,040
the fun part about this all, we're going
to have a DJ, live music, games and

33
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,200
activities for the kids. And best for
the families, we're going to be giving

34
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,840
out free groceries and have a hot lunch
for everyone that's in attendance.

35
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:24,440
» That's amazing. One of the things I love
most about this initiative is that it

36
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,840
doesn't end after one event. What
happens after October 17th?

37
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:33,080
» That ongoing presence is really at the
heart of what One City at a Time is.

38
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,800
October 17th is serving as our relaunch
of the initiative, but we're going to

39
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,880
continue to be in the community. And
we're actually starting early, so

40
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,520
starting this month in September, we're
going to have our mobile vans, our adult

41
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,200
and pediatric unit in the city of Dania
Beach two times a week through the end

42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,840
of November. So on Wednesdays, we'll be
at P.J. Meli Park from 10:00 to 5:00.

43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,160
And every Thursday, we'll be right here
at C.W. Thomas Park from 10:00 to 4:00

44
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,959
p.m.
>> Adarra, thank you so much for joining us

45
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,959
and for sharing everything One City at a
Time has to offer.

46
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,800
» Thank you.
>> This is so much more than a one-day

47
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,880
event. It's a long-term investment in
the health and well-being of our

48
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:12,320
community. A special thank you to
Memorial Healthcare for being an

49
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:17,200
outstanding community partner and for
their continued investment in the

50
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:22,080
residents of Dania Beach. That's a wrap.
We'll see you next time on Mayor on the

51
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:22,080
Move.
