We are Elevating The Bronx Health Leaders of Today & Tomorrow
By providing mentoring, leadership opportunities, and academic guidance; BxCHL alumni have been able to matriculate to schools such as NYU LI, Einstein, Cornell, UPenn, New York Medical College, SUNY Downstate, SUNY Upstate, UConn, and many more. Join us as we make a difference in the lives of Bronxites and the diversity in medicine!
About
What started off as a small group of five volunteers has developed into an organization that is committed to fighting the health disparities waged against our neighborhoods and further promoting the inclusion of underrepresented minorities in medicine.
Leaders play an important role in daily clinic activities, volunteering as patient navigators, patient educators and community health advocates.
