[[Developing Health, Brooklyn, NY, Produced by V.Kemp for GE]]
[[Ulysses Kilgore, President & CEO Befored Stuyvesant Family Heath Center]]
[I'm the CEO of the Bed-Sty Family Health Center. ]
[I've been here in this position for 27 years.]
[To say I feel great would be an understatement]
[Because it's going to move us further along the road]
[toward achieving some of our prevention goals. ]
[We definitely will be able to ]
[hone our message to the patients we serve, ]
[to the community, what have you. ]
[I am confindent that we are going to be able to have more impact--]
[greater impact--on the health status of the Bed-Sty ]
[central Brooklyn community. ]
[The thing is, we are our brother's keeper]
[and sister's keeper, and so we have to make sure that we take care]
[of everyone who comes to our doors.]
[People don't come to a health clinic because they]
[don't have anything else to do. ]
[They come because they have a condition that needs to be treated. ]
[They don't come to a heath center to hang out. ]
[They don't come here for recreation. ]
[They could go and sit in the park.]
[They come here because they have something that needs to be cared for and treated. ]
[How were my pressures? >>Your pressure was good. ]
[[[Ngozi Oji, M.D.] This clinic has been here for more than 25 years. ]
[It's started as a small clinic in an apartment]
[across the street and it grew into]
[The clinic has a active patient population of more than 15,000.]
[We have a good population of patients ]
[We don't take that into account, whether you have insurance]
[Irrespective of your ability to pay, we provide care here. ]
[If you've ever had a health problem, ]
[then you know how sad people can be,]
[especially if you don't have anyone to turn to or if you ]
[So I enjoy this because I am able to interact with ]
[people even when they are healthy.]
[If they are healthy then you tell them what to do to ]
[prevent getting sick, which is]
[what healthcare is all about now. ]
[You don't want people to get sick before you help them. ]
[You want them not to get sick. ]
[So I enjoy--I don't know what other job]
[I could have done because I just love doing it,]
