3) Address the second pandemic of mental illness including : reducing overdose deaths, strengthening our youth mental health systems, and supporting people with serious mental illness
4) Reduce black maternal mortality and make New York a model city for women’s health

Our 7,-plus team members bring extraordinary diversity to the work of public health.

In , the NYC Board of Health declared racism as a public health crisis.
