Welcome to Bronx Health REACH
For the past seven years, we’ve worked together as a community movement to make health equality a reality. 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 end health disparity. Recently the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention elevated Bronx Health REACH to a National Center of Excellence in the Elimination of Disparities, permitting us to collaborate with and offer technical assistance to organizations throughout New York State and the country.

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.
