Mayor Eric Adams' medical team is ramping up a program to bolster wellness "in the hood" - by recruiting "health coaches" to work with residents inside the city's major public housing projects.
The Health Department is accepting bids to fund the expansion of the Health Advocacy Partnership program in the New York City Housing Authority-run Marcy Houses in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, Butler Houses in the Morrisania neighborhood of The Bronx and the Queensbridge Houses in Long Island City, Queens.
The health coaching program was initially started on a trial basis at NYCHA housing complexes in Harlem and East Harlem under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, and the early findings there warrant replication elsewhere, the department said.
