| | Harlem Hospital Program Reduces Childhood Injuries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | Harlem Hospital Trauma Registry, New York State Uniform Discharge Data, and Medical Examiner Data demonstrated that from 1983 to 1987, the child injury rate in Central Harlem (1,141 per 100,000) was substantially higher than neighboring Northern Manhattan (857 per 100,000), Ohio (518 per 100,000) and the country overall (656 per 100,000). |
 | | This community reclamation of abandoned lots, parks, and playgrounds; the modest reversal of neighborhood disintegration; and pride in the greening of Harlem, is largely financed by the labor of Harlem people and by an informal economy based on begging, borrowing, and bartering. |
 | | The story of the Greening of Harlem is fundamentally the story of an unconventional coalition of women that includes a surgeon, a homemaker turned community activist, the founder of a park conservancy, and a city parks department gardener (page 6). |
