Meet the Staff

Lucy Pulitzer, PhD
Executive Director

Meet the Executive Director:

She comes to Community Cradle with a Master’s degree in Public Health Nutrition from Columbia University and a PhD in Medical Sociology from SUNY Albany. Lucy has developed a nutrition education curriculum for use in a highly diverse area of rural northern California, worked with Southeast Asian refugees at Children’s Hospital in Oakland, and with homebound AIDS patients in Brooklyn. After raising her family, teaching Medical Anthropology for 15 years to RNs and raising money for health and education programs in Haiti, she was excited to come to Community Cradle and return to her original field of interest, maternal and child health. Lucy uses the word “thrilling” to describe the potential she sees for Community Cradle’s future.

Nida Saleem , MPH

Perinatal Program Coordinator

Meet the Perinatal Program Coordinator:

Having been accepted to the seven-year medical program at SUNY New Paltz, Nida graduated with a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology.  After getting married, she chose to put her medical career on hold to start a family, and pursued a Master’s in Public Health.  Her most remarkable accomplishments include the planning and execution of over thirty events as an Event Coordinator, running two weekend conferences, and a clothing drive which collected and distributed over 14,300 pounds of clothing for South Asia’s earthquake victims at hospitals across Pakistan.  As for her thoughts on Community Cradle, she says, “Joining the Community Cradle team at such an exciting time, when all these changes are occurring, I feel as though our potential is unlimited.  We’re reaching for the stars…”
