Established in 1847, The New York Academy of Medicine is dedicated to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy life. Through our original research, policy and program initiatives we provide the evidence base to address the structural and cultural barriers to good health and drive progress toward health equity. This work and our one-of-a-kind public programming are supported by our world class historical medical library and our Fellows program, a unique network of more than 2,000 experts elected by their peers from across the professions affecting health.

HD4NYC investigators bring diverse disciplines and expertise to these collaborations, including medicine, social epidemiology, psychology, engineering, machine learning, agent-based modeling, qualitative methods, and applied public health.

Institutions represented in HD4NYC include:

Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Columbia University
- Mailman School of Public Health
