Addressing Chronic Disease in NYC
Chronic disease, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, are a leading cause of death in NYC — more than 30,000 New Yorkers of any age died from these conditions. The toll is especially high on communities of color and New Yorkers with low incomes.
In 2023, the City of New York launched HealthyNYC, a comprehensive campaign to increase life expectancy to exceed 83 years by 2030. The chronic and diet-related disease goals established by HealthyNYC include reducing deaths due to heart- and diabetes-related diseases by 5% by 2030 and deaths due to screenable cancers by 20% by 2030. In 2025 the NYC Health Department released a detailed strategy to reach these goals.
By supporting Team FPHNYC, you will help expand this strategy and support programs that improve access to essential resources like affordable, nutritious foods, health screenings, and outdoor recreation.
Making progress, thanks to you.
