FPHNYC and The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene are working to reduce pregnancy-associated death among Black women and birthing people in NYC by 10% by 2030. A key step to help meet this goal is to launch – with your support – the Maternal Home Collaborative (MHC) Designed to address the root cause of Black maternal health inequities – structural racism – MHC, a place-based pilot, will provide a coordinated and comprehensive implementation of maternal health services, centering Black women and birthing people and their infants in all aspects of care. You can be an Amplifier, a Champion, or an Investor (or all three!) in support of the MHC. Learn more: www.fphnyc.org/mhcm/ P.S. Stay tuned for Black Maternal Health Week (April 11-17), as we have a full week planned around video excerpts from our recent convening and learn about how YOU can get involved to improve maternal health in NYC!

About us
Our mission is to incubate innovative public health initiatives that lead to improved health for all New Yorkers. The City of New York created the Fund for Public Health in New York City in 2002 as an independent, nonprofit organization that connects the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with public and private sector partners to build public health programs that make our city healthier and safer. Since its founding in 2002, the Fund has raised more than $500 million in public and private funding for 440 grants to support programs developed with the Health Department. The Fund incubates innovative public health initiatives implemented by the Health Department to advance community health throughout the city. It facilitates partnerships, often new and unconventional, between government and the private sector to develop, test, and launch new initiatives. These collaborations speed the execution of demonstration projects, effect expansion of successful pilot programs, and support rapid implementation. The Fund helps the Health Department do more—more quickly—to meet the public health needs of individuals, families, and communities across New York City.

July marks Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Mental Health Month. We recognize that health inequities, or unequal access to health resources, impact Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and their ability to receive the support, diagnoses, and healing care they need. Additionally, the cultural stigma associated with mental illness can prevent individuals from seeking vital support for themselves or loved ones. For survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), healing from the trauma and supporting on-going mental and emotional wellness is vital to overall well-being and long-term recovery from abuse. This is why we offer free mental health services at all 5 NYC Family Justice Centers and are thankful to the NYC community of advocates who offer many wonderful, culturally competent mental health and counseling supports across the city. Help is available for all New Yorkers: Talk, text, or chat for mental health help with NYC 988--your connection to free, private mental health support. Speak to a counselor via phone, text, or chat and get access to mental health and substance use services or go to the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene website for resources and services. Survivors of GBV can call 311 or visit the New York City Family Justice Center (FJC) in the borough where you live (or one where you feel safest) to get connected. All NYC Family Justice Centers can help with counseling and mental health services to support the emotional well-being of you and your children. Find resources online at by searching the NYC Hope Resource Directory . #BIPOCMentalHealthMonth #AwarenessHelpHope

This weekend I placed 10th among females and 1st in my age group with a time of 23:08.9 at the Firecracker 5K on Staten Island. The best part was being able to do it alongside my incredible mother who placed 2nd in her age group! As the 2024 NYC Marathon approaches, I have been feeling very inspired, especially as I run to support the maternal health of Black women. Every contribution counts towards ensuring safe and healthy pregnancies for mothers in NYC. Your donation, no matter the amount, can truly make a significant impact.
