The Fund for Public Health NYC (FPHNYC) has created a nonpartisan resource to help inform the candidates running for local office about the importance of supporting public health. FPHNYC is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit that helps launch and scale public health projects in partnership with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and community-based organizations. NYC’s public health system is essential to the city’s well-being, but the recovery from COVID hasn’t been felt equally: 🔹 Black New Yorkers die, on average, 5 years earlier than white New Yorkers 🔹 Chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, & heart disease remain top causes of death 🔹 Federal funding cuts threaten Medicaid, disease control, & disaster relief We urge all candidates to read, share, and act on this resource. Thank you for giving serious consideration to the health and well-being of your fellow 8.5 million New Yorkers. 📄 Read and share: https://bit.ly/4n4DAN0 #PublicHealth #NYCElections #HealthEquity #FPHNYC #HealthPolicy #NYC

About us
Our mission is to incubate innovative public health initiatives that lead to improved health for all New Yorkers. The City of New York created the Fund for Public Health in New York City in 2002 as an independent, nonprofit organization that connects the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with public and private sector partners to build public health programs that make our city healthier and safer. Since its founding in 2002, the Fund has raised more than $500 million in public and private funding for 440 grants to support programs developed with the Health Department. The Fund incubates innovative public health initiatives implemented by the Health Department to advance community health throughout the city. It facilitates partnerships, often new and unconventional, between government and the private sector to develop, test, and launch new initiatives. These collaborations speed the execution of demonstration projects, effect expansion of successful pilot programs, and support rapid implementation. The Fund helps the Health Department do more—more quickly—to meet the public health needs of individuals, families, and communities across New York City.

Yesterday, FPHNYC had the pleasure of hosting our colleagues from the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's Center for Health Equity and Community Wellness to collaborate on strategy for the Maternal Home Collaborative (MHC). The MHC addresses Black maternal health inequities and aims to reduce pregnancy-associated deaths among Black women and birthing people in NYC by 10% by 2030. It brings together community-based clinical care, brick-and-mortar community spaces, and social supports. At the strategy session, we explored new approaches to fundraising that not only support a pilot of the MHC but also build on the extensive work already underway at the Health Department to advance Black maternal health in NYC. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a thoughtful and energizing conversation. We’re excited for what’s ahead! 💡 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ebAU_9Vu
