Harlem Health Advocacy Partners

Many people living in East and Central Harlem, especially residents of public housing, are sicker than other New Yorkers. This is because housing, access to healthy foods, safe parks and other neighborhood conditions affect people's health.

To improve well-being in these neighborhoods, the Center for Health Equity and Community Wellness has contracted with Public Health Solutions to implement Harlem Health Advocacy Partners with health insurance navigation support through Single Stop's Health Advocates.
