"If I weren't able to come here anymore, it would hurt me so bad. I don't know what I would do. I love everybody here so much. I just feel so amazing."
—Robin Seltzer - Community Health Action of Staten Island
Problem
The harsh reality is that poor New Yorkers live four years less than wealthy New Yorkers. Those living in poverty suffer disproportionally from diabetes, H.I.V./AIDS, hypertension, asthma, and other chronic health problems. These medical conditions are exacerbated by this reality: struggling families are often uninsured or underinsured and therefore more likely to skip treatment.
Impact
Robin Hood's $8.4 million investment helped improve the health of more than 43,000 low-income individuals: our funding made it possible for our partners to provide primary and mental health care to over 11,000 adults and children, while over 32,000 individuals received treatment for chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, H.I.V./AIDS, and hepatitis B and C.
