Mary immaculate hospital has served queen7 for over a hundred years. |
Queens
residents can find an exceptional hospital or health service for their every
woe or health problem. There are 16 hospitals open to all in this borough, and
many more specialty services for those with AIDS, cancer, lung diseases or neurological
disorders.
Many
have felt the closure of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Flushing, but the hospital
will continue to provide high-level outpatient services on-site at the hospital,
until the services are relocated to another neighborhood facility. Services for
primary care, eye care and wound care will still be preformed at the hospital
for the time being.

Staying
Warm This Winter
The
borough has been braving some of the coldest temperatures and most piercing
winds in a decade this winter.
There
are some ways, fortunately, that residents can get help from the city.
The
Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) can be reached at 311.
City
law requires that landlords keep interior temperatures in their residential
properties at 68 degrees Fahrenheit or greater between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. when
the outdoor temperature falls below 55 degrees.
Interior temperatures must be at 55 degrees or greater between 10 p.m.
and 6 a.m. when the outside temperature falls below 40 degrees.
If
a property owner is in violation of the code, HPD will try to get him to resolve
the problem.
If 48 hours pass before the heat is up to legal levels, the HPD will
issue a violation to the property owner.
The agency will also, under its Emergency Repair Program, use in-house
staff and private contractors to make the necessary repairs, which the property
owner will have to pay for.
Low-income
seniors who have heat but need help paying their gas and electric bills may be
eligible for a Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) grant. Contact the
Department for the Aging at 311 for more information.
For
heat violations in commercial properties, employees can call the federal
Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s area director in Bayside, at
(718) 279-9060.

and school information, including immunization requirements.
In
January 2003 Mayor Michael Bloomberg created the office of Youth Development and
School-Community Services, a new partnership between the Department of Education
and Department and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) that’s
designed to focus on nutrition, mental health, physical education, sexual and
reproductive health and substance abuse.
The
partnership, Bloomberg hopes, will ensure better health for students by making
school and health officials work more closely.
