St. Joseph's Hospital Helps Build a Healthier Near Westside in Syracuse

HUD User publishes a series of case studies based on federal, state, and local strategies that increase affordable housing opportunities and support sustainable community development. The projects and community development efforts featured in these reports have demonstrated innovation through a multitude of partnerships and initiatives.

Since 2014, following its $4.9 million expansion of what is now called the Primary Care Center-West (PCC West), St. Joseph's Hospital has worked to improve health outcomes for the approximately 7,000 residents of the Near Westside neighborhood in Syracuse, New York. To address health challenges in the distressed neighborhood, PCC West, along with other Near Westside organizations and Syracuse University's Lerner Center for Public Health Promotion, is running community programs to promote healthy living from infancy through adulthood.
