The Poughkeepsie Healthy Black and LatinX Coalition
Their goal is to address health disparities within the Black and Latinx communities in the Cities of Newburgh and Poughkeepsie, which are under served, unaware of resources, and under utilizing health care services, putting them at risk. As part of the coalition, service providers, local government, and the greater community will identify additional health disparities to be addressed together.

The Poughkeepsie chapter meets on the Second Thursday of every month from 9:30-11am. The group sends out information about what is going on in the community at these meetings and through its Facebook page. Please join it! https://www.facebook.com/groups/nphblcoalition
