The Dalio Center for Health Justice at NewYork-Presbyterian, launched in October 2020, aims to understand and address the root causes of health inequities with the goal of setting a new standard of health for our patients, our team members, and the communities we serve. Through the Dalio Center, we invest in research, education, and programing, and advocate for policy change to drive measurable improvements in health outcomes for all. In order to understand the health outcomes that disproportionately affect our communities, we build on a network of ongoing projects and initiatives across NewYork-Presbyterian and our academic partners, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medicine. The Dalio Center harnesses the power of our three institutions, expanding our capacity to create impact. In partnership with the Community Mission and Health Justice Committee of NYP’s Board of Trustees, local community organizations, and government agencies, we are making progress in eliminating the health inequities that undermine our communities.

In our 2022 annual report, we highlight the expansion of current programs, such as our Sickle Cell Program and Crown Hair Care Program, as well as the implementation of new initiatives, such as the publication of our first health equity report. This year, we also began piloting Social Determinants of Health screenings in our emergency departments and are excited to expand to our inpatient and outpatient departments in 2023. We recruited and welcomed a new class of REACH Fellows and LEAD physicians, as well as implemented a health justice book club. Our inaugural Dalio Center conference on Race, Racism, and Health at the Brooklyn Museum saw over 200 in-person attendees and over 200 virtual attendees. We are proud of our progress at the Dalio Center this year and look forward to 2023.
