Bronx Community Health Network (BCHN) is a nonprofit, community-based organization and federally qualified health center (FQHC) with a mission to improve the health of individuals and families in the Bronx. BCHN has implemented evidence-based blood pressure control programs to improve its patients’ hypertension control and encourage self-management and healthy lifestyle goals. BCHN engaged a Capstone team to compile four years of data into a comprehensive report on the effectiveness of its blood pressure program at Bay Eden Senior Center. The team analyzed the data, conducted a literature review, and interviewed BCHN and Bay Eden staff members. Based on its findings, the team compiled a final report that includes comprehensive data analysis, outlines areas for improvement, and provides evidence-based recommendations to improve the existing screening program.

CDP, formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project, is a nonprofit organization that manages the global disclosure system that companies and cities use to manage their environmental impacts. CDP tasked a Capstone team with transforming data from its deforestation disclosure questionnaire supplied by public and private sector actors into a dynamic data visualization tool. The team explored climate initiatives at various companies to determine if those activities constitute landscape and jurisdictional approaches–defined as collaborative efforts by stakeholders with a common goal of sustainability to optimize resource use, in order to ensure an equitable distribution of benefits and the preservation of natural resources. The team produced a data visualization tool for the client that will be housed on the CDP website. This tool will serve as a resource for various stakeholders with aligned interests in sustainability, and will help identify partners for similar initiatives.
