Lifestyle Medicine Program Expands to NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County as Part of Citywide Expansion

Each site will partner with local community-based organization(s) to explore ways to support community members in nutrition and other aspects of lifestyle change. The Lifestyle Medicine Program at NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County will collaborate with United Community Centers in Brooklyn.

“We are very excited to be able to collaborate to share preventative solutions to community members looking to live healthier,” said Sarah Bacio, Assistant Project Director at East New York Farms, a project of United Community Centers. “I hope that this collaboration strengthens our relationship with NYC Health + Hospitals and provides our market patrons with valuable resources and support to empower them to make healthier choices. Connecting folks with fresh, organic and locally grown produce and providing spaces for them to learn how to make more informed health decisions is invaluable!”
