Welcome to Bronx Health REACH
For the past seven years, we have been working together as a community coalition to eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities. With leadership from the Institute for Family Health, the support of many funding sources and the involvement of thousands of our neighbors, we’re creating change to make health equality a reality. Recently we were named a National Center of Excellence in the Elimination of Disparities so we can continue to expand our advocacy and education efforts city and state-wide.

CAMPAIGN TO END DISCRIMINATION IN HEALTH CARE
Our survey has confirmed what many of us already knew – New York City private teaching hospitals separate patients based on insurance status into two separate and unequal systems of care!

Making Health Equality a Reality
Here in the Bronx, we’ve got strong opinions about health equality. For some, it means a health system that provides equal treatment. For others, it means having the ability to live a healthier life. For all, it means the same opportunity for better health and the kind of health outcomes that are enjoyed by others. And here, making health equality a reality means everyone does their part.
Changing Systems/Changing Communities
Bronx Health REACH is working to challenge health disparity by changing the systems, processes and environment that promote it. This includes working with faith-based organizations and businesses, the health system and policy-makers. And, mobilizing the community to create and make healthy change. We’re working to ensure that everyone in the Bronx has the opportunity, the ability-and the motivation-to lead healthier lives.
