"This past year, the (Project Health Family Help Desk) has helped a young mother of two children find employment that offers her flexibility to bring her child to a weekly doctor appointment. And this past year, the FHD helped an unemployed mother of two significantly handicapped children find safe wheelchair accessible housing… There are not enough words to express what the FHD does for people in need. I just say the FHD is inspiring magic. Thank you." Maureen Licursi, Allied Health Professional and Nurse Practioner |

"As a family advocate for patients at Harlem Hospital, I connect families with resources such as food, childcare, adult education and housing. From working at the Family Help Desk, I have come to realize that access to (other) resources is just as important as a doctor's treatment plan… I feel very empowered by the work I do."

Project HEALTH works to ensure that every child grows up free from the obstacles imposed by poor health. Project HEALTH addresses challenges faced by low-income families through innovative hospital-based advocacy programs and community-based afterschool programs. By uniting the creative energy of undergraduates, the expert knowledge of health and legal professionals, and the first-hand experiences of families, Project HEALTH works to interrupt the well-established link between poverty and poor health.
