Assemblyman Michael Durso (R-Massapequa Park) recently introduced a resolution on the floor of the Assembly honoring an extraordinary organization, P.S. I Love You Day Inc., and its founders, Jaimie and Brooke DiPalma, by recognizing February 11, 2022 as P.S. I Love You Day in New York State. On this day P.S I Love You Day asks everyone to stand up against bullying, help end depression, and ultimately prevent suicide.

On April 23, 2010, then 14-year-old Brooke was dropped off at school by her dad, Joseph DiPalma.

On her way out of the car, he said, “I Love You” and she said, “I Love You” back.

Little did Brooke know, later that day, she would be

taken out of school and told that her dad tragically died by suicide. Joseph DiPalma was an active member in the community; a former NYPD officer, ex-Chief of the West Islip Fire Department, and President of his Local Chamber of Commerce.

P.S. I Love You Day was started in 2010 by sisters Jaimie and Brooke DiPalma, along with their family and the West Islip High School Class of 2014, to celebrate the memory of their father and others lost to suicide. They used the last three words their father said, “I Love You”, as the inspiration for this significant day. Part of their mission is to educate students early about mental health in order to remove the stigma and let

them know it is okay to ask for help.

This year P.S. I Love You Day celebrated its 12th Anniversary on Friday, February 11, 2022, in an effort to bring awareness to the importance of mental health and suicide prevention, to stand up to bullying, and to spread kindness.

“I commend Jaimie and Brooke DiPalma, and P.S. I Love You Day, for their hard work and dedication advocating on the importance of mental health and encouraging those struggling to ask for help,” said Durso. “It is imperative that more work must be done on the local, State and National levels to offer resources, treatment and prevent another life lost to suicide.”

P.S. I LOVE YOU DAY - Assemblyman Michael Durso (R-Massapequa Park) recently introduced a resolution on the floor of the Assembly honoring an extraordinary organization, P.S. I Love You Day Inc., and its founders, Jaimie and Brooke DiPalma, by recognizing February 11, 2022 as P.S. I Love You Day in New York State.

www.fcali.org With locations across Nassau and Suffolk, Family & Children’s Association (FCA) is a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to providing help and hope to Long Island’s most vulnerable children, families, seniors and communities. FCA envisions a Long Island where a legacy of optimal health, educational success and economic security passes from one generation to the next; each year it serves more than 30,000 individuals and families in Suffolk and Nassau counties. Its mission strives to make our island a better place for all of us to live, work and raise a family.

FCA’s original orphanage, the Temporary Home for Children, was founded in 1884.

Louisa Lee Schuyler, great-granddaughter of Alexander Hamilton, spearheaded the establishment of the orphanage. During this upcoming Women’s History Month, Family & Children’s Association will be honoring Louisa Lee Schuyler’s vision by joining forces with some of the most influential female philanthropists and business owners across Long Island with its inaugural Long Island Women in Philanthropy Breakfast & Fashion Show.

FCA is extremely proud to represent a female majority workforce, including its management. All of its five divisions are led by women in Assistant Vice President roles and the organization as a whole is very excited about this new initiative; their goal is to bring together like-minded women in our local community.

injuries (80 percent).

“Space heaters can be effective tools for heating smaller areas, but they need to be used with caution and care,” said Carli, pointing to the tragic fire that occurred earlier this month in Bronx, N.Y., which reportedly began with a malfunctioning space heater and resulted in 17 fatalities.

A failure to clean equipment was the leading cause of home heating equipment fires. Fires in which a heat source was too close to combustible materials caused the largest shares of civilian deaths, injuries, and direct property damage. Half of home heating fire deaths were caused by placing equipment too close to things that can burn.

NFPA offers these tips and guidelines for safely heating your home during the winter months: Heating equipment and chimneys should be cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional.

Keep anything that can burn at least three feet (one meter) away from all heating equipment, including furnaces, fireplaces, wood stoves, and space heaters.

Always use the right kind of fuel, as specified by the manufacturer, for fuelburning space heaters.

Create a three-foot (one meter) “kid-free zone” around open fires and space

heaters.

Make sure space heaters are in good working order and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed.

Fireplaces should have a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room.

Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container, which should be placed outside at least 10 feet away from your home.

All fuel-burning equipment should be vented to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

If you smell gas in your gas heater, do not light the appliance. Leave the home immediately and call your local fire department or gas company.

Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are located throughout the home; test them monthly to ensure that they’re working properly.

NFPA offers a wealth of home heating safety tips, information, and resources to help better educate the public about ways to safely heat their homes.

In addition, NFPA’s “Put a Freeze on Winter Fires” campaign with the U.S. Fire Administration works to promote a host of winter safety issues, including home heating.

Flu season is officially here in New York, with the New York State Department of Health reporting ten consecutive weeks of widespread flu diagnoses.

To help prevent the flu in people who are at high risk for severe complications, the American Lung Association and Empire BlueCross BlueShield Foundation, released a toolkit specifically for caregivers of adults 65 and over through their “Fend Off Flu” campaign.

Influenza (flu) is a serious and highly contagious disease that can have severe health consequences for all, and especially for vulnerable adults 65 and older, and those with chronic health conditions. The new toolkit is a resource to educate caregivers including healthcare providers and personnel in long-term care settings about the flu and the importance of vaccination to protect adults 65 and older.

“Nationally, 50-70% of flu hospitalizations were in patients over 65. Flu shots are especially important for healthcare workers and

caregivers of vulnerable adults,” said David Ackman, M.D., Medicaid Medical Director from Empire BlueCross BlueShield. “Not only will getting a flu shot help reduce the chance of catching the illness, but it will also help reduce the severity if it’s contracted.

Especially for people with underlying health conditions, the flu can turn into a serious, even deadly, illness.”

During the 2019 – 2020 flu season, it is estimated the flu sent approximately 380,000 people to the hospital with related complications and caused an estimated 20,000 deaths in the United States, which is why getting vaccinated should be a priority. The flu vaccine is the best protection against contracting and spreading the illness.

“Especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, routine vaccination is more important than ever,” said Erica Masin, executive director for the American Lung Association in metro

New York. “Flu vaccinations have been in use for more than 50 years, with hundreds of millions of Americans safely receiving them. It’s recommended that everyone over six months of age receive a flu vaccine, but they are especially important for the 3,026,000 people in New York with lung disease, as well as their family members and caregivers.”

In addition to vaccination, the CDC recommends these everyday preventive actions.

Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.

Cover your cough and sneeze with a tissue or your elbow.

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

The “Caregiver Flu Toolkit” is a comprehensive guide to educate caregivers of adults 65 and over about flu and the importance of vaccination to help protect them from contracting the flu. The free downloadable guide is available at Lung. org/Fend-Off-Flu.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific data indicate deaths from heart disease and stroke have risen significantly and more people are reporting lower physical and emotional wellness. This February during American Heart Month, the American Heart Association, the leading voluntary health organization devoted to a world of longer, healthier lives for all, is helping everyone reclaim their rhythm and take back control of their mental and physical well-being.

Over the past two years, evidence suggests many people have adopted unhealthy behaviors like skipping exercise, eating unhealthy foods, drinking more alcohol and using tobacco, which can all increase the risk for heart disease and stroke.

Additionally, people who had mild cases of COVID-19 may have changes to their heart and brain health as a consequence of their encounter with the virus.

The American Heart Association is urging everyone to create healthy habits that work best for their life, because losing even one mom, brother, friend, or neighbor to heart disease is one too many.

“Managing and reducing stress can improve feelings of happiness, purpose and gratitude, all of which can keep hearts and minds healthier, and make it more likely for people to stick with healthy habits,” said American Heart Association President Donald M. Lloyd-Jones, M.D., Sc.M., FAHA. “Managing stress means managing your health, so reclaim control of your schedule and build in time to invest in a healthier you.”

Incorporating music in one’s daily routine can help create healthy habits. As part of a collaboration with music streaming service

Pandora, the American Heart Association will have a station takeover of Pandora’s Dance Cardio Radio.

Three Modes featuring specially curated tracks by Pandora will be available for the month of February: Reclaim Your Heart: Surviving and Thriving, featuring the anthems of the 2022 Go Red for Women Real Women Class, national volunteers for the American Heart Association, each with a unique heart or brain health journey.

Reclaim Your Day, featuring celebrated Black artists in recognition of Black History Month Reclaim Your Beat, featuring music you can dance to, groove to, and keep the beat, 100 to 120 bpm, for Hands-Only CPR Curating a personal playlist can help reclaim rhythm, whether it’s cardio, meditative, or a soundtrack for resting.

Additionally, below are five ways to create healthy habits: Mellow out and reduce stress: Stress can lead to depression or anxiety, as well as unhealthy habits like overeating, physical inactivity, smoking and risk factors for heart disease and stroke like high blood pressure.

Move to the music: Create a playlist that will get listeners moving and grooving. Staying active is one of the best ways to keep body and mind healthy. Not only can it help everyone feel, think, sleep and live better, it also improves overall quality of life. Physical activity is linked to lower risk of diseases, stronger bones and muscles, improved mental health and cognitive function and lower risk of depression.

Feed your soul, rock your recipes: The meaning of “family” may have changed, but family meals still make an impact.

Regular meals at home with family can help reduce stress, boost selfesteem and make the whole family feel connected. Try new heart-healthy recipes that can be made at home from the American Heart Association Heart-Check Recipe Certification Program.

Stay on beat with your blood pressure: High blood pressure is a leading cause and controllable risk factor for heart disease and stroke and can contribute to worse outcomes for people who contract COVID-19. Close to half of American adults have high blood pressure. Of those, about 75% don’t have it controlled and many don’t even know they have it.

The best way to know your blood pressure numbers is to have it measured at least once per year by a health care professional.

If your blood pressure is normal and you are at least 20 years of age, regularly monitor it at home with a validated monitor and discuss the numbers with a doctor.

Keep the Beat! Learn Hands-Only CPR: Each year, more than 350,000 EMS-assessed out-ofhospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States and about 70% of out-ofhospital cardiac arrests happen in homes. When a person has a cardiac arrest, survival depends on immediately receiving CPR from someone nearby. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival. Help your community reclaim their rhythm by learning the two simple steps of Hands-Only CPR: Call 911, then press hard and fast in the center of the chest. Visit heart.org/handsonlycpr to watch the Hands-Only CPR instructional video and share it with the important people in your life.
