What is your idea?
A 1yr long community health education campaign that brings free preventative health services to Bronx residents. There will be monthly wellness events in parks, churches, community centers and housing developments.

There will also be incentives/rewards for those who bring their #s down.

There is a lack of affordable and accessible preventive healthcare and early detection of chronic diseases in South Bronx residents and most are uninsured.
