While speaking about the center on Wednesday May 3, 2023, Drammeh stated that Lifestyle Lifespan campaign, is an initiative dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing preventable illnesses in the tristate community.

The director noted that “The birth of this child is a symbol of hope for the future of our community. It demonstrates the effectiveness of our campaign in promoting healthy living and reducing health disparities in New York.”

Also speaking about the initiative, Stephen Ditmore, a member of the Board of Directors, said, “The National Center for Health Equity is committed to improving the health and well-being of all New Yorkers, especially those in underserved communities. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, and our campaign is dedicated to making that a reality.”

According to Drammeh, the National Center for Health Equity was established in partnership with a science and health writer and a lawyer specializing in technology and national healthcare systems.

“Over the past year, the initiative has strengthened the healthy lifestyle campaign, enhanced the quality of life, increased longevity, saved taxpayers money, and helped narrow existing inequities in healthcare services,” Drammeh said.

He added, “The Lifestyle Lifespan campaign has already made significant contributions to health and wellness in the city and state. Mayor Eric Adams helped launch the New York Healthy Lifestyle campaign in 2020, and Senator Luis Sepulveda inaugurated his historic legislation making October Healthy Lifestyle Month in the state in 2022.”
