These life saving devices will be in Civic Center Park shortly.

Woodhaven City Council has approved the purchase of two AEDs for Civic Center Park. ❤️

These life-saving devices will be publicly accessible and ready when seconds matter most. Sudden cardiac events can happen anywhere—and having AEDs nearby can make all the difference.

This is another step forward in keeping our parks safe for residents and families.

Happy National Women's Day!

💜 International Women’s Day

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and leadership of women in Woodhaven and across our country. As Mayor, I am proud to serve alongside so many talented women in our city — from department heads, to healthcare, education, business owners, volunteers, and non profit organizations.

International Women’s Day is a reminder that progress happens when we support one another, open doors for the next generation, and continue building opportunities for women and girls to lead.

To the women who give their time, talent, and heart to our community — thank you.

Woodhaven is stronger because of you. 💜
