Heart-to-Heart Free Community Health Screening

The Weill Cornell Heart to Heart Community Outreach Campaign (H2H) is a mobile free diabetes and cardiovascular disease outreach intervention clinic that brings medical/nursing faculty and students to the underserved communities of NYC; including the uninsured and undocumented. The goal is to identify new cases of CVD/Diabetes and intervene early before the onset of severe symptoms. Participants are screened for diabetes and heart disease risk factors through onsite exams including blood tests. Afterwards, participants receive a medical consultation to offer personalized medical advice and referrals to free/low cost clinics and/or insurance enrollment if needed. Participants may also enroll in a follow up program to help them improve their health and get rescreened.
