Through Montefiore Health System’s Office of Community and Population Health’s “Rethink Your Drink” campaign, local students across the Bronx are being educated on how sugar-sweetened drinks can negatively impact their health.

Student ambassadors recently conducted a survey of locals on East Gun Hill Road in an effort to better understand community beverage and food preferences and needs.
