Bronx Health Reach
The Bronx Health REACH Coalition was formed in 1999 to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes in diabetes in African American and Latino communities in the southwest Bronx. Led by the Institute for Family Health, the coalition includes over 60 community-based organizations, health care providers, faith-based institutions, a public interest law firm, and housing and social service agencies. In 2007 Bronx Health REACH received designation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a Center of Excellence in Eliminating Disparities (CEED) and now serves as a national resource center.
