Grateful to help 100 individuals pick up free, nutritious groceries - just in time for - at Samaritan Daytop Village's Fresh Food Fair at The Richard Pruss Wellness Center in the Bronx.

Shoppers received vouchers after a health visit with us or a Food As Medicine workshop with PARC (Peer Alliance Recovery Center) Bronx.

The event included a healthy cooking demo led by nutritionist Dr. Elizabeth Madison and Wellness Ambassador Jamel Lewis. Their recipe for black bean and corn skillet tacos showed you can indulge while eating healthy! Elizabeth also led a healthy shopping tour to show how you can buy good-for-you foods for specific medical conditions.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a great success, including Cathy Torres and her father, Luis, who donated 25 turkeys to the event. And thank you to Third Avenue Business Improvement District for your support!

Every day we strive to help tip the scale against racial and ethnic health inequities.

Many of our patients include African American and Latina women who have higher rates of chronic health conditions like hypertension and diabetes.

Even our work with the homeless shows that the same disparity exists for women in shelters, especially those who may have experienced trauma or are dealing with a mental health or substance use disorder.

That's why our partnership with Samaritan Daytop Village is so satisfying. We recently hosted a Women's Health Fair for patients from two of their family residences and one of their treatment programs.

We provided health education workshops, gave consultations with our Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, introduced them to Creative Arts Therapy, and offered RAPID STI and HIV testing. The day was designed to empower these women to take control of their health and learn which healthcare resources they need to access today and in the future.

Do you want to plan a Health Fair with us? Contact our Practice Administrator at 347-577-8080. We can arrange van transport to and from our Health Center in the Bronx.
