Staten Island’s Public Health Talk Cares in St. George

St. George pulsed last night with Staten Island’s Public Health Talk, tending NYC’s spring at a ferry-side hall. Doc Lena Carter pitched vaccines as 150 listened, a $5 ticket dive into wellness stats. It’s borough beats—pure SI vibe, stakes hot. A kid asked about flu; a pro jotted risks. ‘Staten heals—this is it,’ Carter says, flipping slides. The room turned clinic.

The talk’s fresh—March 29’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing seats by 7 p.m. Carter’s a Tottenville MD; last night’s crowd hit max—charts glowed. A latecomer nabbed a spot; Q&A buzzed—NYC grit shone. Flu shots teased—care ruled. #SIHealthTalk trended; Bronx wants a dose.

Some griped—’Too dry,’ sniped a skeptic, dodging data. Lights dimmed—fixed quick; facts held. A rival’s pitching a Midland chat, splitting mics. Still, 200 stayed—health reigned. St. George’s never cared so bold.

Carter’s teasing a clinic day, maybe a fair if spring bites. ‘NYC’s pulse—this checks it,’ she says, packing notes. The talk’s a Staten win—grit meets good. It’s a health rush; join the next. Bring a question—life calls.
