Take Care New York is an initiative driven by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) to create a blueprint for achieving health equity in all communities, especially those with disproportionately poor health outcomes.
NYC DOHMH partnered with Cortico and 15 community partners to organize a series of conversations designed to elevate the voices of New Yorkers and understand the deep root causes of health inequities in their communities. For the first time ever at NYC DOHMH, LVN-supported story circles were folded into the effort to support deeper understanding alongside surveys, focus groups, and other community gatherings.
This partnership resulted in a database of stories and experiences used to inform the Department’s neighborhood health strategies, creating a unique channel for public participation from underheard individuals and communities.
