(WASHINGTON, DC) -The Healthy DC & Me Leadership Coalition is “Calling All Advocates”!

In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere!” #WhatAboutWoodberry? DC Officials Continue to Allow Slumlords to Reign!

The Healthy DC & Me Leadership Coalition is summoning all advocates in the name of “justice” for the many families who reside at Woodberry Village Apartments in Ward 8 S.E., Washington, D.C. Many families of Woodberry Village for the past 2 years, have detailed accounts of:

  • no heat,
  • rodent infestation,
  • ADA violations,
  • mold & asbestos hazardous concerns (foul smells emitting throughout property),
  • falling ceilings,
  • inoperable heating units,
  • faulty electrical,
  • safety concerns,
  • retaliatory management behavior,
  • subpar renovations & repairs,
  • questionable “stay dc” tenant subsidies and reimbursements,
  • no hot water,
  • diminished mental capacities.

Why has:

  • the Ward 8 Councilmember Trayon White,
  • the Attorney General Mr. Karl Racine & his representatives to include Jennifer Berger,
  • At-Large Councilmember Robert White,
  • Mayor Bowser
  • DC Chairperson Phil Mendelson
  • At-Large Councilmember Anita Bonds
  • and too many more District controlled agencies,

 

ignored and left District families of Woodberry Village exposed to ongoing documented “slumlord” realities and conditions for at least 2 years? Why are these elected officials choosing to protect the Jewish property owners over an entire community of low-income Black citizens and seniors in distress? Enough is enough! Shame on you D.C.!

Join us today as we go “live” from the property. Come support Woodberry Village citizens as they fight to keep their resolve alive! D.C. is a “human rights” city, and our coalition is calling for accountability, justice, audits, answers, hearings, vacated positions, and as At-Large Councilmember White “unaccountably” told the residents on Jan. 27, 2022, “heads will roll”! DCRA has fined over 250 (+) violations and still the tenants have found no relief from this ownership! Formal “Receivership” request made to the OAG’s office in writing and still no relief from this city! #WhatAboutWoodberry? DC you have been silent for too long!!!

Join our Leadership Coalition at 7PM in Woodberry Village at 2244 Savannah Terrace SE, Wash., DC 20020 as we go “Live” on FB with the “Palms Up” community awareness show, to help citizens of Woodberry Fight the Power! For More Info:  www.healthydcandme.org

Mental Health

At Capital City Emergency Trauma & Wellness Center patrons with mental health emergencies that include life threatening situations in which an individual is imminently threatening harm to self or others, severely disoriented or out of touch with reality, has a severe inability to function or is otherwise distraught and out of control, will have access to quality and psychiatric emergency services and referrals.

Physical Health

Whether your life threatening medical emergency involves excessive or uncontrollable bleeding, head injury. difficulty with breathing, severe pain, heart attack, vision impairments, stroke, physically collapsing, or seizure related, rest assured that our professionals will properly assess and evaluate the level of response that will be most needed to help provide stabilized care solutions and minimize complications as well as reduce early mortality.

Holistic Healthcare

We offer healthcare solutions that will support the whole person which includes their physical, psychological, emotional, social, & spiritual wellbeing. Research supports that because your mental state can affect your overall health we support and offer the inclusion of complimentary and alternative medicine(CAM) practitioners and naturopathic doctor recommendations and referrals as a part of our Outreach Community Resource Center’s care regimen and support.

Rehabilitative

Emergency care can typically result in traumatic injuries for which rehabilitation becomes an essential component of care in trying to achieve the best long-term outcomes for the patient. In addition to speeding up recovery times and helping to prevent further complications, rehabilitative care also helps to support a patient’s self-managed recovery once discharged from our facility. Our Outreach Community Resource Center works closely with our trauma center’s discharge department to assure that patrons requiring these services are linked with qualified professionals who will be accountable to the standard of care required to help the patron be successful in their recovery.
