Health Check: Low Dose, Big Benefits: Helping Bronx Families Prevent Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia causes dangerously high blood pressure and can damage the kidneys or liver. When it goes undetected or untreated, it can lead to preterm birth (baby being born before 37 weeks of pregnancy), serious health complications and, in the worst cases, the death of a mother or baby.

On reviewing the various development projects in the Northwest Bronx ahead of the final edition of the Norwood News after 38 years, the first thing that comes to mind in some but not all cases is, of course, just how seemingly arduous and protracted they can be. Often surpassing the durations of successive gubernatorial and mayoral administrations, and the tenures of various politicians, hopes are riding high that the White Plains Road Neighborhood Plan will not fall to the same fate as the Croton Water Filtration Plant and the Kingsbridge Armory in terms of duration.
