The third stop of our 2026 Healing Arts New York Network Tour brings us to the Bronx, collaborating Urban Health Plan for a social prescribing arts and health panel.
We are excited to invite the Healing Arts New York City Network to Urban Health Plan on June 26, 2026! Their thriving Arts For EveryBody social prescribing initiative offers patients a “prescription” for free and low-cost opportunities to engage with local art and activities such as museums, performances and theatres, cooking classes, community art experiences, and more!
This event is the third Healing Arts New York Network convening in 2026, and is the Bronx stop on our Boro Tour!
Arts For EveryBody is an exciting, one-of-a-kind, “social prescribing” initiative where patients are “prescribed” free and low-cost opportunities to engage with local art and activities such as museums, theatres, cooking classes, performance venues, and more! This holistic approach aims to improve the health and well-being of the patients we serve through the power of art within the walls of our health centers and in the culturally rich communities we serve.
Urban Health Plan is one of the largest federally qualified health center systems in New York State proudly serving communities in the Bronx, Corona, Queens, and Central Harlem. Founded in 1974 by Dr. Richard Izquierdo, a life-long community resident of the South Bronx who dedicated his life to social justice and achieving health equity for all, today, the organization serves more than 89,000 patients who make above 430,000 visits.
Since 1974, we have been proudly bringing high-quality healthcare to New York families and have received national recognition for our approaches to community health care and disease prevention.
Today, we’re just as committed. Our network of community-based, patient-centered health centers brings state-of-the-art technology and comprehensive, coordinated care to all– from infants to seniors and everybody in between. All our health care facilities offer native Spanish-speaking providers, plus several other languages to serve our diverse community. We pride ourselves on providing a safe, warm, welcoming, judgment-free environment.
Our sites in the South Bronx serve the residents of Mott Haven, Morrisania, Hunts Point, Longwood, Third Avenue, and Soundview. Our Plaza del Sol Family Health Center is in Corona, Queens, serving patients in the surrounding communities of Elmhurst, East Elmhurst, and Jackson Heights. Our CitiCares Community Health Center serves residents in Central Harlem and surrounding neighborhoods.
