Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH)
Led by the Institute, the Bronx Health REACH Coalition is one of 40 communities funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s REACH US program to address health disparities in key health areas. The coalition includes over 60 community-based organizations, health care providers, faith-based institutions, housing and social service agencies, and a public interest law firm. Since 2000, the coalition has served as a model of community empowerment that demonstrates how to build healthier communities by:

promoting healthy life-style behaviors
increasing awareness of racial and ethnic disparities in health care delivery
advocating for policy, environmental, and systems changes
