In January 2015, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene joined in partnership with the Fund for Public Health in New York, the United Hospital Fund and the New York Academy of Medicine to launch the New York City Population Health Improvement Program (PHIP). The NYC PHIP is one of 11 PHIPs created around the state to achieve inclusive health planning at the regional and local level.
The PHIP promotes health equity as well as the “Triple Aim” of better care, lower health care costs and better health outcomes for New Yorkers.
We achieve this by engaging community members and cross-sector leaders in efforts to transform the health system and advance the health equity goals outlined in Take Care New York 2020 (TCNY 2020).
