I am a concerned resident of Carmel, NY who believes that our community would greatly benefit from the services of Oak Street Health. We are currently facing a shortage of medical groups that can provide comprehensive and quality healthcare. The introduction of Oak Street Health into our towns – Brewster, Carmel, and Patterson – would be a significant step towards ensuring proper medical care for all residents.

Oak Street Health is renowned for its patient-centered approach to healthcare. Their model focuses on preventative care and chronic disease management which is crucial given that 60% of American adults have at least one chronic disease (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). This approach could dramatically improve the health outcomes in our communities.

Moreover, with an aging population in these areas - 16% aged 65 or older according to U.S Census Bureau - it's essential we have access to such specialized care. With their commitment to serving Medicare patients, Oak Street Health could fill this gap.

By establishing clinics here in Brewster, Carmel, and Patterson NY; we believe that Oak Street Health will not only help meet the growing demand for quality healthcare but also contribute positively towards community well-being.

Please sign this petition urging Oak Street Health to consider expanding their services into our towns. Your signature can make a difference in improving the health landscape of our communities.
