11th Annual BCHN Community Health Champions Recognition Dinner Honors Partners and Patient Champions

Bronx Community Health Network's 11th Annual Community Health Champions Recognition Dinner was held on August 11 at the Montefiore Medical Center Grand Hall. Every year during National Health Center Week, BCHN recognizes patients who have made remarkable strides in meeting their self-management goals, and honors partners who have made a significant contribution to the Bronx community. 

 

The evening included a dance performance by the children from Belmont Community Day Care Center (see photo above), National Health Center Week proclamations from local elected officials, and a presentation on BCHN's Impact on Community Health in 2015.
