As a world-renowned public health agency with a history of building transformative public health programming and infrastructure, innovating in science and scholarship to advance public health knowledge, and responding to urgent public health crises, we serve as the population health strategist, and policy and planning authority for the City of New York, while also having a vast impact on national and international public policy, including programs and services focused on food and nutrition, anti-tobacco support, chronic disease prevention, HIV / AIDS treatment, family and child health, environmental health, mental health, and racial and social justice work, among others.

Our Agency’s five strategic priorities are :

• To re-envision how the Health Department prepares for and responds to health emergencies.
• Address and prevent chronic and diet-related disease.
• Address the second pandemic of mental illness.
• Reduce black maternal mortality and make New York a model city for women’s health.
• Mobilize against and combat the health impacts of climate change.

Our 7,000-plus team members bring extraordinary diversity to the work of public health. True to our value of equity, the NYC Health Department has been a leader in recognizing and dismantling racism’s impacts on the health of New Yorkers. In 2021, the NYC Board of Health declared racism as a public health crisis.
