The Center for Health Equity and Community Wellness (CHECW) of the NYC Health Department aims to eliminate racial inequities in premature mortality, with a focus on chronic disease, by addressing the social and environmental factors that impact health. CHECW works to increase place-based investments in priority neighborhoods with community programming and services based on epidemiology; influence and leverage the health system to promote whole person care; intensify the agency's approach to tackling big salt, sugar, and tobacco; and finding innovative ways to improve the built environment and address other social determinants of health. CHECW is comprised of the Bureau of Brooklyn Neighborhood Health, the Bureau of Bronx Neighborhood Health, the Bureau of Harlem Neighborhood Health, the Bureau of Chronic Disease Prevention, the Bureau of Health Equity Capacity Building, the Bureau of Equitable Health Systems, and the Bureau of Finance, Administration and Services. The Bureau of Equitable Health Services is the healthcare systems bureau of the NYC Health Department.
Our mission is to apply policy, evidence, and practical expertise to improve equity in health care delivery at the individual, organizational, and systems levels. We do this to engage primary care providers and other healthcare organizations to implement evidence-based strategies; leveraging information to support planning and technical assistance for providers and payers, advancing policy to close the racial equity gap for priority health outcomes; and surfacing opportunities where health care can influence and connect consumers to social support and addressing the whole person beyond physical ailments. Within BEHS sits the Office of Healthcare Systems Strategy and Accountability (OHSSA), which has three key priorities: 1) Eliminate the portion of healthcare segregation and financial harms that is possible to overcome through healthcare actions; 2) Foster a well-funded, less-crowded safety net; 3) Catalyze the growth of a social/preventive care system that improves health outcomes and is of easy access to patients and clinicians.
