New Health Website for Northern Manhattan

GetHealthyHeights.org is a new health website for the Northern Manhattan community. The interactive site is jointly supported and funded by the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research and WICER (Washington Heights/Inwood Informatics Infrastructure for Community-Centered Comparative Effectiveness Research). The site is hosted by Columbia University’s Department of Biomedical Informatics.

The mission of GetHealthyHeights is “to create an online community for all who live, work, and visit Washington Heights-Inwood by empowering individuals and organizations to participate, discover, connect, collaborate, express and share knowledge about health and the health matters of their community.”

The website offers a list of events in the community, articles and videos about health, an index of neighborhood services, and links to other health-related websites.
