Reimagining Public Health for NYC: A Discussion on the Racial Wealth Gap and Health Equity

On Tuesday, February 28, 2023, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in partnership with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, hosted an in-person event on the racial wealth gap. Participants discussed the connection between health and wealth, how to better measure both, and how policy can help address racial wealth gaps.

The event is part of a series, “Reimagining Public Health for NYC,” hosted by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

This event was open to the media. All remarks were on the record and the event was recorded, with the recording to be made available afterwards.
