The Bronx and Beyond

El Bronx alberga a casi 1,5 millones de habitantes. Sus comunidades poseen una rica riqueza cultural y social. Al mismo tiempo, muchos residentes del Bronx enfrentan enormes desafíos socioeconómicos y sufren desproporcionadamente la mala salud y el acceso insuficiente a la atención médica. El Bronx ocupa el último lugar entre los 62 condados del estado de Nueva York en cuanto a problemas de salud prevenibles.

Our department is committed to improving the health of the Bronx through models of excellence in clinical services and community health, and to promoting the health of communities regionally, nationally, and internationally through training programs, research, and advocacy.
