Finding Purpose for Our Renovation Materials
To avoid sending tons of usable fixtures and appliances to a landfill during our renovation, we tried a “post it and see if they will come” strategy. It worked.

My husband and I recently bought a larger apartment in our Upper East Side building that came with custom carpentry, solid wood doors, a nice working kitchen and hefty doorknobs. And then, we ditched much of it.
I’ve gone sidewalk shopping for years in the city, and I know New Yorkers junk lots of good gear that they just can’t store. So, rather than send truckloads of perfectly-fine-but-dated material to landfills, I set my sights on giving away everything. Not just fixtures and built-ins from the new apartment but moving supplies, kids’ musical instruments with low mileage, and a custom 6-by-6-foot armoire from our old apartment that the new owner didn’t want and that we could no longer use.

A Lown Institute report released Tuesday named the 50 most and 50 least racially inclusive hospitals in the U.S.
The report, which ranks acute care facilities based on whether the racial makeup of their patients matches that of the people living in the surrounding zip codes, revealed the structural racism present in healthcare, especially in urban hospitals.
One example of such racial inequity is right in New York City, said Vikas Saini, MD, president of the Lown Institute. Metropolitan Hospital Center in East Harlem, which topped the list of most racially inclusive hospitals, is just 1.5 miles from Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan s Upper East Side. Despite this proximity, three-fourths of Metropolitan s patients are people of color, while the proportion is only one-third at Lenox Hill.
