About The Position

The Center for Health Equity & Community Wellness (CHECW) aims to eliminate racial and other inequities that lead to premature mortality. CHECW works to increase awareness of the harm caused by centuries of racist, socially unjust policies and advocates for redress for impacted NYC communities. They collaborate with community, faith-based, and healthcare organizations to address inequities across community and healthcare systems, focusing on social determinants of health (SDOH) to improve the well-being of New Yorkers. The Bureau of Harlem Neighborhood Health (Harlem BNH) supports this mission within its catchment area, which includes East, Central, and West Harlem, as well as Washington Heights and Inwood. Harlem BNH focuses on the root causes of health disparities and develops programs with community input, emphasizing SDOH through initiatives like the Harlem Health Advocacy Partnership and the Asthma Counselor Program. The Bureau also houses the East and Central Harlem Neighborhood Health Action Center, a vital part of NYC's efforts to promote health equity. The Bureau is seeking a Program & Data Manager for the Creating Healthy Schools & Communities (CHSC) program, a NYS Department of Health funded initiative focused on integrated school- and community-based strategies for chronic disease prevention, physical activity, nutrition access, and health equity.
