Physical Health
We realized during this current pandemic how important it is to stay healthy. The Bronx has consistently ranked last when health trends are discussed and as a result, we have seen a host of health issues including high blood pressure, diabetes, and an increase in obesity in our borough. To address this, Kevin wants to create spaces in our community to promote healthy initiatives and give Bronx residents access to services that will ensure we are as healthy as possible. To accomplish this goal, healthy eating and exercise must remain at the forefront.
Mental Health
Mental healthcare should not be a privilege. Our communities deserve access to mental health resources, but even more than access, we need understanding. This is why Kevin believes that we should create more safe havens for those impacted by mental illnesses, removing the stigma attached to seeking assistance while also bringing awareness about its prevalence. As we come together to better understand the scope of mental illnesses, we must remain thoughtful, compassionate and supportive for those who mental illness is a reality. Seeking mental health care in our country has been deemed complex, but by working together, we can make the changes we need to uplift our community.
