Local residents can voice their opinions about the current state of healthcare at a Health Forum on Thursday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mosholu Montefiore Community Center on 3450 DeKalb Ave.
The forum, which is sponsored by Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, 1199 SEIU, and the Mosholu Montefiore Community Center, will address the skyrocketing cost of healthcare as well as the millions of New Yorkers who are presently without health coverage.
“We need to work for universal healthcare in our state so that everyone can have good, affordable healthcare coverage,” Dinowitz said in a press release. “We must fight to insure that the budget is not balanced on the backs of the poor and that the budget won’t adversely affect New Yorkers’ ability to receive quality healthcare.”

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
