NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem

The video was meant to encourage New Yorkers ages 45 to 75 to get screened for the preventable cancer and to de-stigmatize the potentially life-saving procedure

Nurses were nominated by their colleagues in honor of their achievements and commitment to patients

The new mural is born from a yearlong engagement with NYC Health + Hospitals’ gun violence interruption programs and those intimately affected by the associated trauma

The screening program will grow from 5 to 10 NYC Health + Hospitals sites

17 of its sites received Gold status, the highest recognition, from the American Heart Association
