For the second year, the Wadsworth Center hosted a table at the Albany Tulip Festival. Despite the rainy weather, the table saw steady foot traffic, discussing the Center with approximately 65 individuals. Many people were surprised to hear that their Public Health Laboratory is located in the Capital Region, and that we are celebrating 125 years of working to keep them healthy and safe! Multiple people stopped just to say “thank you” for our efforts, and one individual that, even though there is a lot of complicated health news, we were one of their most trusted sources of information. Another spoke of how our agency's response during the COVID-19 pandemic gave them faith in the capabilities of the New York government as a whole, opening their eyes to the dedication we bring to the health of the people of New York. The Tulip Festival this year provided our agency with a very positive outreach opportunity, and the people attending the festival were happy to see us there. This event was led by Christopher Tucker and supported by Wadsworth Center: Community. Advancement. Recruitment. Engagement. (CARE).
