Abstract:

“Suffolk County is experiencing elevated cardiovascular disease mortality relative to New York State,” explained Dr. Humayun Chaudhry, Commissioner for the Department of Health Services of Suffolk County. Given the general affluence of the area, he finds the CVD mortality rates "a paradoxical situation. We need to determine strategies to address this high priority health issue for our county."
