Over the course of implementing NYU Langone Health’s Community Service Plan (CSP), we continually assess community health needs, assets and priorities. In partnership with many community-based organizations and government agencies, we have programs that span multiple sectors, including community-based early childhood education settings and schools, primary care, housing, and community settings, as well as faith-based organizations and social service providers.

NYU Langone Health’s Community Service Plan programming focuses on:

• economic stability by addressing food security, healthy food availability, and the need for stable and safe housing
• social and community context by promoting healthy eating, providing health coaching, and decreasing tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke
• neighborhood and built environment by supporting local health networks and enhancing the capacity of community health workers
• healthcare access and quality through parenting programs, programs to support mobility and reduce the risk of falls for elderly populations, and by connecting families to needed resources, including virtual care and digital literacy
• education access and quality through early childhood programs that engage parents, caregivers, and educators and peer education and youth development programs

CSP programs center on communities in the Lower East Side and Chinatown in Manhattan; Sunset Park and Red Hook in Brooklyn; and the Village of Hempstead, Uniondale, Roosevelt, and the Tri-Hamlet area of Shirley, Mastic, and Mastic Beach on Long Island.
