The Public Health Association of New York City is an active organization of public health professionals with a rich tradition of commitment to improving public health.

Founded in 1936, PHANYC is one of the oldest and largest affiliates of the American Public Health Association. Since then, PHANYC has been a catalyst – informing and educating about public health issues and a more responsive and equitable health care system, and influencing public health policy. Today, its membership includes individuals and organizations involved in the diverse field of public health. Its members are public health leaders, health care providers, health administrators, researchers, scientists, professors, students and activists.

Committed to promoting the health of the public, PHANYC confronts current public health issues by informing and mobilizing its members and the general public through community education and professional exchange, social action, advocacy and policy analysis.

Dedicated to its growing membership of professionals and those interested in public health, PHANYC provides a range of membership services and programs – vibrant student committee and activities, educational forums and programs, broad communication network, relationship-building and professional development opportunities and many committees and projects in which to participate.

LIU Becomes PHANYC’s Operational and Administrative Partner

With thanks to the Clinical Directors’ Network for their service over the past four years, as a result of its growth and increased productivity, PHANYC has established a new operational and administrative agreement with the Long Island University Brooklyn Campus (LIU, BC) School of Health Professions Master of Public Health (MPH) program. On September 1, 2011, PHANYC’s administration services were relocated to LIU’s downtown Brooklyn campus. Under the direction of PHANYC’s Executive Committee, LIU staff and MPH Graduate Assistants will be providing 30 hours a week of administrative support to the PHANYC Board of Directors and the PHANYC Executive, Advocacy, Communications, Development, Membership, Nominations, and Program Committees.

PHANYC’S mailing address will remain the same.

The association’s phone number is now 718-780-6579.

Email inquiries should continue to be directed to info@phanyc.org.

Long Island University (LIU) is a private institution of higher education. LIU made a name for itself when it opened its doors in downtown Brooklyn in 1926 by admitting students based on merit and promise alone, regardless of sex, race, religion or national origin - a uniquely progressive philosophy during an age often defined by quotas and discrimination. The university’s mission is to provide access and excellence in private higher education to people from all walks of life who seek to expand their knowledge and prepare themselves for meaningful, educated lives, and for service to their communities and the world. The School of Health Professions (SHP) prepares students for careers in respiratory care, physician assistant, occupational therapy, athletic training, sports sciences (including sport management and exercise physiology), physical therapy, social work and public health. The new MPH program offers a concentration in Health Education, Advocacy, and Communication. Admission policies on all LIU campuses continue to reflect the values of the university's founders: equal access to quality education for all.
