About the Organization
The New York Academy of Medicine is a leading voice for innovation in public health. Throughout its 176-year history, NYAM has uniquely championed bold changes to the systems that perpetuate health inequities and keep all communities from achieving good health. Today, this work includes innovative research and policy initiatives that distinctively value community input for maximum impact. Combined with NYAM’s trusted public programming and historic library, and with the support of esteemed Fellows and Members, NYAM’s impact as a public health leader continues.
Since 1847, the New York Academy of Medicine has dedicated itself to improving the health of the people of the city, the state, and beyond. Milestones in the work of NYAM include improvements and focus in many key areas—city sanitation, maternal mortality, children’s health, and healthy aging, among other topics.
NYAM helped create the field of urban health, and publishes a leading journal, The Journal of Urban Health, which just celebrated its 100th volume. The New York Academy of Medicine is committed to addressing the root causes of health inequities and changing the systems that prevent everyone from having an equal shot at a healthy life. The organization’s research, programs, and policy initiatives uniquely put community voices at the core to advance health for all. Focusing on social, environmental, and institutional factors that influence health, the NYAM team collaborates with partners in academic institutions, government agencies, and community-based organizations to evaluate and promote policies, programs, and community needs related to health equity. Addressing inequities is the centerpiece of NYAM's mission.
Because health equity is unequivocally tied to systemic racism, NYAM fully embraces addressing social justice issues to achieve its vision where everyone can live a healthy life. NYAM is conducting its work in focused ways to help address systemic racism and structural oppression—ways that build access for individuals and communities whose voices have not been heard and whose influence has not been fully realized.
