    Special Initiatives 

    Community Outreach Event Hub (COEH) 

    The COEH serves as a platform to understand and evaluate the Mount Sinai Health System’s community outreach initiatives. The information we gather through the COEH allows the Health System to advance community health and health equity by leveraging opportunities to address the needs of the communities we serve and build an extensive network of resources. We encourage all faculty, staff, and trainees who coordinate community events to visit the Hub and learn more so you can contribute to our ongoing efforts.

Through the HEDA Hub, we share insights, best practices, and opportunities to strengthen equity across clinical outcomes, patient care, workforce experience, and community engagement. HEDA committee members support leaders and teams in applying an equity lens to data collection, analysis, and decision-making—empowering our Health System to advance high-quality, equitable care for all patients and communities we serve.
