HEALTH &

We consider the health and wellness of Washington Heights residents to be a top priority in our mission of community empowerment. In collaboration with several community partners, CLOTH runs programs aimed at bringing health equity to our neighborhood.
FOOD
SECURITY.
CLOTH provides emergency hunger relief through a food pantry located on West 159th Street.

ANNUAL HEALTH &
CULTURAL FESTIVAL.
Every summer CLOTH has an annual health fair, which reaches over 3,500 residents, providing health care information and free screenings.
ADULTS WITH
COMPLEX CARE NEEDS.
In 2015, New York Presbyterian and community partners came together to develop a program to support adults who have at least two comorbid chronic conditions including diabetes, heart failure, chronic respiratory disease and renal failure.
Bilingual Community Health Workers serve as the single point of contact for patients who enroll in the Adults with Complex Care Needs. Participants receive culturally-sensitive, comprehensive information on three key messages: knowing your diagnoses, knowing how to access care and learning how to manage your conditions at home.
Participants receive support on setting and meeting goals around their care, including, but not limited to: medications, medical equipment, and appointment adherence. They also benefit from home visits, accompanied provider visits, and social service referrals to address barriers such as: housing, immigration, education, and employment, among many others.
