NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi held a celebration and march around the facility’s campus in Morris Park on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, with staff and patients of the public hospital participating in the event.
Hospital officials said beyond providing care to all New Yorkers, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity in a safe and compassionate fashion, Jacobi also hosts an LGBTQ-affirming Pride Health Center.

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.
