The mission of the District Public Health Offices (DPHOs) is to reduce health inequalities across New York City by targeting resources, programs, and attention to high-need neighborhoods in the South Bronx, East and Central Harlem, and North and Central Brooklyn . The DPHOs work to ensure that conditions for good health - available, sustainable, high-quality services and efficient, effective systems - flourish in these neighborhoods. They further this mission by:
- Administering programs on priority health issues
- Focusing and coordinating the work of central DOHMH programs
- Informing, developing, and advocating for policy change
- Conducting research and disseminating public health information
- Supporting and assisting community residents and organizations
