| Compared to the rest of New York City, the residents of Central and East Harlem have: |
- more than twice the likelihood of dying from AIDS
- higher rates of hospitalization for heart disease and higher rates of diabetes
- higher rates of asthma, alcohol and substance abuse
- higher rates of death due to cancer
|
| |
More than 6 in 10 adults in Central and East Harlem are overweight or obese, as are 4 in 10 public elementary school students and 1 in 3 public high school students. |

| The Central Harlem Health Revival was created by the Borough of Manhattan Ecumenical Advisory Group to: |
- Motivate Central Harlem residents to adopt healthier lifestyles
- Provide tools and information to empower community residents to advocate for themselves and to learn more
ways to take better care of their health
- Raise awareness of the need to focus more health resources and interventions for the Central Harlem community
- Bring the holistic message of body, mind, and spirit into practice

We have started planning for the 2008 week-long health revival.
In order for the Health Revival to be a success, we need the participation of all of Harlem. If you are
interested, please sign up for a committee to help plan and implement the programs.
