A Direct Link to the Community
Community Advisory Boards (CABs) are the formal and direct links between each NYC Health + Hospitals facility and its patients and local advocates. The CAB members contribute to planning, program development, and service delivery. Members also provide invaluable advocacy and advice from the local community perspective.
All of the meetings of each CAB are open to the public. Community members are encouraged to contact their local CAB office to inquire about the scheduled meetings or to address issues and concerns to the CAB.

Kim Cunningham-Jones
Community Advisory Board ChairpersonNYC Health + Hospitals/Carter
Kim Cunningham-Jones brings decades of professional experience, community service, and a deep commitment to caring for others to her role as Chair of the NYC Health + Hospitals/Carter Community Advisory Board.
In 2025, Kim retired from NY Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center after 33 years of service in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, where she supported laboratory operations and administrative functions. She holds an undergraduate degree in Office Administration from SUNY Farmingdale and has dedicated much of her life to community engagement and service.
Kim’s passion for helping others is rooted in her longstanding commitment to visiting older adults, individuals who are ill, and those who may be isolated or without regular support. Inspired by the example of her late grandmother and mother, she understands the profound difference that a visit, a phone call, or a simple act of kindness can make in someone’s life. She also founded the “Love with A Smile” ministry to connect with older adults and individuals who are sick, homebound, or receiving hospice care.
As CAB Chair, Kim is motivated by the opportunity to advocate for individuals and families who need care, compassion, and support. She strives to collaborate across generations and cultures, guided by her faith and a commitment to serving others with grace, humility, kindness, and love.
