 Syracuse’s urban neighborhoods continue to face chronic public health challenges. Resistance to traditional healthcare is widespread. Vaccination rates are the lowest in the region. Diabetes, hypertension, cancer, infant mortality, and respiratory disease rates are high. Communication with isolated residents lacking computers and transport is difficult. Residents are unaware of health services available to them.

Enter CNY Jazz in the City.
This aggressive, community-wide public health outreach effort uses the arts as a mobile platform to bring people together and provide them with the joy of congregating to enjoy music, food, and fun.

These Thursday evening concert fairs span the neighborhoods of urban Syracuse THROUGH June, July, and August, providing safe outdoor environments for all to attend. Every event provides:
  • National and Regional talent in concert
  • Healthcare Village
  • BIPOC arts, crafts, and corporate vendors
  • Ethnic food vendors
  • Family goodie bag distribution to all attendees filled with public health service info, supplies, and incentive coupons
  • Educational and inspirational speakers
  • Special Opening Act performances by resident urban and urban youth groups
 
New York Lottery scratch-off tickets will be awarded as incentives for those getting screenings and consultations by professional healthcare providers from Syracuse Community Health. AND – the Leadsafe CNY Coalition will be holding free raffles giving away multiple home water purification kits at all concerts.
 
All of us at CNY Jazz Central thank the Syracuse Community Health nursing team and every one of our many community health-conscious sponsors for helping us make Jazz in the City an important and vital element in the cultural, economic, physical, and mental health of our underserved urban neighborhoods.
 
And by the way, the music is AWESOME!
