South Bronx Rising Together is a collaborative network of program providers and community stakeholders. This group will work together to create a community that is college and career ready by leveraging the expertise of a network of families, educators, business leaders, community advocates and service providers to support the lifelong success of families and youth in the community. We have five Collaborative Action Networks that meet monthly to work on projects specific to each goal. Goal #1- All are Healthy is focused on reducing the rates of asthma related ER visits and hospitalizations in children who live in Community District 3 in the South Bronx.

Signature events have included annual celebrations of World Asthma Day at Impression 5 Museum and "Not One More Life" at various places of worship and Head Start locations. The coalition now also works to advance healthcare improvements, such as health plan reimbursement for in-home asthma case management, increased availability of medical supplies (spacers), and improvements to both indoor and outdoor air quality.
