  • The Bronx Health REACH Coalition meetings consist of members from the various Bronx Health REACH workgroups, representatives from diverse groups, organizations, community members and advocates coming together to hear updates from Bronx Health REACH and Bronx Health REACH partners about innovative strategies and initiatives being pursued to address racial and ethnic health disparities and the social determinants of health in the Bronx. Coalition meetings happen quarterly from 9:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Due to COVID-19 the meetings are held via Zoom. When COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, we will meet in person at Walker Memorial Baptist Church (120 E. 169th St.) in the Bronx.
