The Academy’s policy staff focuses on developing evidence-based policies and programs in our priority areas of healthy aging, prevention, and eliminating health disparities in New York City and cities worldwide. Recognizing the importance of strong governance, leveraging public-private partnerships and multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral collaboration, the Academy works as a trusted partner, contributor, and convener to improve health policy in the city and the state. Academy programs such as Age-friendly NYC, DASH-NY, and our prevention programs work to shape policy that changes conditions at the community level by implementing evidence-based solutions to improve health.
