TITLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER AND TO NYC DOHMH APPLICANTS WHO ARE
PERMANENT IN THE COMPARABLE CIVIL SERVICE TITLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE
STAFF ANALYST. ***
Established in 1805, the New York City
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (the NYC Health Department) is
the oldest and largest health department in the country. Our mission
is to protect and improve the health of all New Yorkers, in service of
a vision of a city in which all New Yorkers can realize their full
health potential, regardless of who they are, how old they are, where
they are from, or where they live.
As a world-renowned public
health agency with a history of building transformative public health
programming and infrastructure, innovating in science and scholarship
to advance public health knowledge, and responding to urgent public
health crises from New York City’s yellow fever outbreak in 1822, to
the COVID-19 pandemic we are a hub for public health innovation,
expertise, and programs, and services. We serve as the population
health strategist, and policy, and planning authority for the City of
New York, while also having a vast impact on national and
international public policy, including programs and services focused
on food and nutrition, anti-tobacco support, chronic disease
prevention, HIV/AIDS treatment, family and child health, environmental
health, mental health, and racial and social justice work, among
others.
Our Agency’s five strategic priorities, building off
a recently-completed strategic planning process emerging from the
COVID-19 emergency, are:
1) To re-envision how the Health
Department prepares for and responds to health emergencies, with a
focus on building a “response-ready” organization, with faster
decision-making, transparent public communications, and stronger
surveillance and bridges to healthcare systems 2) Address and prevent
chronic and diet-related disease, including addressing rising rates of
childhood obesity and the impact of diabetes, and transforming our
food systems to improve nutrition and enhance access to healthy
foods
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
5) Mobilize against and combat the health impacts
of climate change
Our 7,000-plus team members bring
extraordinary diversity to the work of public health. True to our
value of equity as a foundational element of all of our work, and a
critical foundation to achieving population health impact in New York
City, the NYC Health Department has been a leader in recognizing and
dismantling racism’s impacts on the health of New Yorkers and beyond.
In 2021, the NYC Board of Health declared racism as a public health
crisis. With commitment to advance anti-racist public health practices
that dismantle systems that perpetuate inequitable power, opportunity
and access, the NYC Health Department continues to work in and with
communities and community organizations to increase their access to
health services and decrease avoidable health
outcomes.
