Bronx Center to Reduce and Eliminate Ethnic and Racial Health Disparities (Bronx CREED)/Albert Einstien College of Medicine
Mission
To reduce and eliminate ethnic and racial health disparities in the Bronx, New York City, and the nation through:
- Promotion, coordination, and integration of health disparities research at the College of Medicine.
- Community outreach, information dissemination, and collaboration.
- Health disparities education for health professionals, community members, policymakers and public officials.
- Training of investigators at the undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels.
- Strengthening and expanding existing academic-community partnerships in the Bronx.
Our initial focus will be in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention and treatment of the cluster of conditions associated with the greatest source of excess morbidity and mortality among African-Americans and Latinos in the Bronx and the nation, that is heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
