The Black female doctor turned out to be very talkative. Citing the connection to Horace Mann School, she not only enthusiastically provided all the data but also affirmed Anya's research findings.
"Miss Anna, from my personal experience, what your project suggests is absolutely true."
The middle-aged Black woman said worriedly, "I don't know the data from the hospitals over in Brooklyn Heights, but the data on patients we see here in Sunset Park is significantly higher than the national average."
"Also..." She looked hesitant, as if debating whether she should be telling Anya this. "It seems that insurance companies have a general consensus that the Sunset Park area—especially the zip codes along Third Avenue—is designated as a high environmental risk zone."
"So what does that mean?" Anya asked curiously. "Please, don't hesitate to tell me. I'm a foreigner, so I genuinely don't understand."
