Westchester County Board Of Health Presents the 2018 Public Health Service Awards
2018 Public Health Service AwardsTogether with Joan McDonald, director of operations for Westchester County, the Westchester County Board of Health presented the 2018 Public Health Awards on Thursday April 19 at 10:30 a.m. in the Atrium of the Jeannette J. Phillips Health Center, 1037 Main Street, Peekskill.
This years awards recognize outstanding contributions to public health in Westchester by five people and celebrate the accomplishments of the public health community. The presentation was hosted by HRHCare Community Health in Peekskill. National Public Health Week was observed April 3-9.
We all benefit from the commitment of these volunteers to improving the health of our community, said McDonald, who presented the winners with proclamations honoring their achievements on behalf of County Executive George Latimer. With their extraordinary concern for others, these individuals set an example for all of us. I congratulate the winners and I encourage other residents to follow in their footsteps.
On behalf of Latimer, McDonald thanked the volunteer members of the Westchester County Board of Health for safeguarding the countys health, along with Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler and the health department, who work together to preserve, protect and promote the health of Westchester residents.
Board of Health President Robert Baker, MD, presented the Dr. Harold Keltz Distinguished Public Health Service Award to Norman Haight, a lifelong Peekskill resident.
Norman Haight has demonstrated an enduring commitment to improving the health and well-being of Westchesters most fragile populations, Baker said. His volunteer work and service as a vice president and trustee at The Preservation Company, a not-for-profit agency, has supported the construction and preservation of affordable housing in the Hudson Valley.
Normans welcoming smile opens the door to his commitment to meeting the housing and health care needs of his community, said Jeanette Phillips, executive director of The Preservation Company. Throughout his years as a board member, Norman has worked to assure we partnered with developers to provide housing for seniors and special populations, and has supported events that bring the diversity of our communities together.
The Board awarded the J.R. Tesone Youth Public Health Service Award to Paul Presendieu-Cuesta, 27, of New Rochelle, for his efforts to promote environmental awareness on the Westchester Community College campus. Mr. Presendieu-Cuesta led the effort to revive Earth Day on campus and has continued to expand Earth Day activities at WCC since 2015.
As a Westchester Community College student, Paul made it his mission to revive earth day on campus and he has continued to volunteer his time to improve sustainability and environmental awareness there long after he graduated, Baker said.
We are very proud of Pauls continued contributions to public health and public good, said Westchester Community College President Dr. Belinda Miles. Paul is an exemplary graduate of Westchester Community College who sets a high standard and is a great example of how an individual can make a positive difference on behalf of the environment.
The Board also recognized three Public Health Honorees:
Hector Santiago, 30, is a Yonkers resident and community activist who walked alone from Yonkers to Albany last summer to highlight the need for additional resources to address the mental health needs of New Yorkers. Mr. Santiago is a former gang member who initiated the StopAndShake campaign to improve relations between police and the communities they serve.

The Health Department is fortunate to have such capable partners working alongside us to promote public health in our communities, said Health Commissioner Sherlita Amler, MD. We are especially grateful to not-for-profit groups and to our honorees, who enhance and support the efforts of local organizations.
