Our mission is to protect and improve the health of all New Yorkers, in service of a vision of a city in which all New Yorkers can realize their full health potential, regardless of who they are, how old they are, where they are from, or where they live.

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 are a hub for public health innovation, expertise, and programs and services. 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.

Our Agency's five strategic priorities are:

  • To re-envision how the Health Department prepares for and responds to health emergencies.

  • 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.

True to our value of equity as a foundational element of all of our work, 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.
