A set of six videos describing the experience of residents participating in Family Health Challenge. 

Excerpt form the published poster: 

The Bronx stands last among New York State counties in most health outcomes, including overweight and obesity. Almost half of children enrolled in the South Bronx Head Start program are overweight or obese. 

 To address these health disparities, resident physicians of the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR) created the Healthy Bronx Initiative (HBI). In January of 2013, the HBI collaborated with the Mary Mitchell Center (MMC) and Dr. Elizabeth Walker of the Prevention and Control Core (PCC) of the Einstein Diabetes Research Center to launch the Family Health Challenge (FHC), a childhood curriculum focused on healthy behavior changes administered by resident physicians.
