Health challenges for the underserved and uninsured do not exist in isolation, but instead are a multitude of different social, economic and cultural factors which are strong predictors of health. With the understanding, disease prevention and health promotion involves a variety of psychological, biological, social, communal, and economic factors our comprehensive Emergency Room Reduction (ER) program is designed to reduce chronic patient ER visits, by addressing the specific needs of the population we serve. Our program provides NYC residents with access to health services and additional wraparound services in the form of education and health screenings; blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol support which collectively reinforce positive health behaviors. With a strong emphasis on quality care, each client will work with a team of health educators, and community health workers who each play a unique and supportive role in educating and empowering the patient as whole.

Our health educators design evidence-based curricula  to address behavioral complexities, involving cardiovascular disease and governing metabolic dysfunctions characterized by hypertension, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and central adiposity.  Clients engage in group discussions centered around specific topics which include the pathophysiology of CAD and its governing risk factors: hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes. A thorough review of specific hypertensive, diabetes, and obesity medications in conjunction with the function of each is conducted. Clients also learn about the health advantages of a Whole Food Plant Based diet and how specific food groups along with exercise can be used to reverse and prevent coronary artery disease.

​A community health worker (CHW) is a frontline public health worker who is a trusted member of, or has an unusually close understanding of, the community they serve. That trust and shared experience let CHWs act as a link between health and social services and the people who need them, improving access to care, the quality and cultural fit of services, and overall health outcomes. This is essentially the American Public Health Association's widely used definition.

 

Community Health Liaison

A community health liaison is a bridge between a health organization (a hospital, clinic, health department, research team, or wellness program) and the community it serves. Their core job is to build trust and two-way communication: they bring health information, services, and programs out to the community, and they bring the community's needs, concerns, and feedback back to the organization so services actually fit the people using them.
