Sanofi-aventis Partners with the Hispanic Community in Bronx to Increase Health Awareness, Access to Resources and Help Improve Pa...(gh the local physicians and community-ba...),Health

"Although a range of health resources are often available to patients in major cities and urban environments, there often is not enough awareness or dialog about available programs, treatments or access to proper care. Consequently, these resources often go underutilized and the patients that need them most remain underserved," continued Henry Cruz, Community Health Liaison. "By directly linking the many facets of the Hispanic community, the CHP seeks to change this, by empowering patients to improve their health through increased awareness and access to the resources in their communities."

In addition to Bronx, the CHP will be initiated in 5 other cities, including: San Antonio, Miami, Newark, Memphis and Baltimore and will provide members of these communities with actionable steps to combat a variety of medical conditions including diabetes, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, insomnia and deep vein thrombosis.
