In 2006, The Office of Minority Health of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene convened the Borough of Manhattan Ecumenical Advisory Group (BMEAG) to advise on and advocate for improving the health of Manhattan residents.

Because of the magnitude of the disparity in the quality of the health and health care of Central Harlem residents compared with New York City as a whole, the BMEAG began with a focus on Central Harlem and now is expanding to all of Harlem. The main event of the campaign is the Central Harlem Health Revival (CHHR), a week-long program starting the fourth Sunday in September, to promote a spiritual renewal in the Harlem community’s commitment to living healthy lives.

To be a Sponsor of CHHR:
Platinum - $5,000 or above

Silver - $1,000
Bronze - $500
