  • There will be a presentation by Ms. Danielle Brechter, MS, PNP, PHN IV, IAP/CLPPP Administrator. Ms. Brechter has been with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services for the past 20 years in multiple departments within the Department of Patient Care, and has provided primary care as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in several former Suffolk County Health Centers. Ms. Brechter will be addressing the issue of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States according to the CDC. The Committee will be viewing a powerful film, narrated by Vanessa Williams, “Someone You Love/The HPV Epidemic”.

 

The mission of the IAP (Immunization Action Program) is to ensure that all children in Suffolk County are fully immunized according to CDC guidelines. To comply with this mission, the program holds immunization clinics, and conducts immunization audits in private provider’s offices, schools, and nursery/day care centers. Additionally, the staff under Ms. Brechter’s direction, conducts educational programs for healthcare professionals and stakeholder members in the community, and responds to all inquiries regarding immunizations and the services available in Suffolk County.
