Marc N. Gourevitch, MD, MPH

My research aims to develop approaches for advancing population health that draw on both healthcare delivery and policy- and community-level interventions.

I am engaged in several major initiatives in urban healthcare and health metrics. I lead the City Health Dashboard project, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which aims to equip city and community leaders with an accurate understanding of the health of their urban populations, including social, economic, and environmental drivers, to support population health improvement initiatives. Our Congressional District Health Dashboard takes a similar approach to health-related data at the congressional district level. I co-lead a research collaboration with a major technology company to use advanced data science methods to improve the timeliness and geospatial granularity of population health data.  And I lead the NIDA-funded SubstAnce use Research Education and Training (SARET) program to foster career-long interest in substance use-related research by health professionals in the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, social work and global public health.  I am also  actively involved in supporting the institution's Beyond Bridges initiative to continuously improve outcomes in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood by linking clinical and community drivers of health.
