NYC Health + Hospitals North Central partnered with the Kingsbridge Heights Community Center to open the Bronx’s inaugural hospital‑based rape crisis program on October 29, 2026. The new center will deliver free support services to survivors of sexual violence.
The initiative seeks to provide counseling and assistance in a borough that reports a disproportionately high incidence of rape and other sexual crimes, where previously only a single community‑based rape crisis program existed.
