The New York Health Foundation (NYHealth) is a private, statewide foundation dedicated to improving the health of all New Yorkers. Today, the Foundation concentrates its initiatives in three priority areas: Empowering Health Care Consumers; Healthy Food, Healthy Lives; and Veterans’ Health. NYHealth also engages in responsive grantmaking through a Special Projects Fund. The Foundation is committed to making grants, but also to making a difference beyond grant dollars: informing health care policy and practice; spreading effective programs to improve the health system; serving as a convener of health leaders across the State; and providing technical assistance to grantees and partners.
