Anthem Foundation $550,000 Grant to AIRnyc Leads to Improved Clinical Outcomes for Blood Pressure and A1C Control
In recognition of Heart Month, AIRnyc is sharing early, real-world impacts from its community-rooted program that helps families manage hypertension and diabetes, two major drivers of heart disease. Powered by a three-year, $550,000 grant from the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation, AIRnyc’s approach combines Community Health Worker (CHW) coaching with culturally familiar meals and easy, app-based nutrition guidance. The result: families are making small, repeatable changes that show measurable improvements in A1C and blood pressure over time.
