In June, Montefiore Einstein premiered “Montefiore: Your Health Matters,” a three-part TV series focused on the many aspects of health equity.
The series is part of Montefiore Einstein’s Community Enrichment plan, which addresses barriers to health equity and seeks to enrich lives by promoting greater economic prosperity within our communities.
It airs in partnership with BronxNet, an educational public and government access cable TV network. The series, hosted by Melissa Cebollero, Senior Director, Community Relations, Montefiore Einstein, has the goal of defining health equity, explaining the annual county health rankings and beginning a community conversation on the barriers Bronxites face in living their healthiest lives. The opening panel laid the groundwork for shining a light on the health equity gap that Bronx residents experience and talked about possible solutions, including Montefiore Einstein’s partnership with schools on community-based health clinics.
