The Center for Health Equity & Community Wellness (CHECW) seeks to eliminate inequities resulting in premature mortality. With an unwavering grounding in history and structural analysis, CHECW works to increase visibility of the harm perpetuated by socially unjust policy while pushing towards redress for the most impacted NYC communities. CHECW addresses inequity across community and healthcare systems in partnership with community, faith-based, and health care organizations. CHECW's work focuses on social determinants of health, including environmental and commercial determinants, and addresses both upstream and downstream factors to improve health and well-being of New Yorkers. CHECW is comprised of the Bureau of Bronx Neighborhood Health, the Bureau of Brooklyn 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 division's Deputy Commissioner also serves as the Agency's Chief Equity Officer and oversee Race to Justice, the Agency's internal reform effort to help our staff learn what they can do to better address health gaps and improve health outcomes for all New Yorkers. Bureau of Equitable Health Systems 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 by engaging 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 Healthy Aging Unit, a new program that builds support for older adults and their caregivers and strengthens the NYC Health Department's ability to monitor and respond to the health needs of older adults. The unit offers an exciting, unique opportunity for a public health professional to work on a brand-new city initiative funded by the CDC called the BOLD Program. This program seeks to improve the health status and quality of life of all NYC residents and those already diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), and of their caregivers, equitably.
