BRIDGE THE GAP IN HEALTH CARE

On June 19, 2004, PHANYC members marched in "Bridge the Gap in Health Care" across the Brooklyn Bridge -- one of many walks and rallies held throughout the country to bring attention to the crisis of the uninsured in America. To publicize this enormous public health crisis, PHANYC partnered with thousands of colleagues and other organizations, including several of its own organizational members -- Planned Parenthood, Gay Men's Health Care Crisis and Metro New York Health Care.

WORKING TOGETHER TO ENSURE A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

April 8, 2004 - Metropolitan Hospital

PHANYC highlighted ways to solve problems caused by environmental threats, as part of series being held across the country during the American Public Health Association (APHA) 2004 National Public Health Week on Eliminating Health Disparities.

Environmental pollution, ranging from tobacco smoke to diesel fumes to lead dust, can cause serious respiratory health issues. Exposure to these types of environmental risks varies based on race and ethnicity, income and geographic location. PHANYC pulled together public health leaders who highlighted just a few programs that are working around the city to address respiratory and other environmental-related problems, as well as their underlying issues such as poverty and access to health care.
