CHECW addresses inequity across community and healthcare systems in partnership with community, faith-based, and healthcare organizations. CHECW’s work focuses on social determinants of health, including environmental and commercial determinants, and addresses both upstream and downstream factors to improve the health and well-being of New Yorkers. CHECW is a division of the NYC DOHMH.The Bureau of Chronic Disease Prevention (BCDP) strives to reduce the burden of chronic diseases, including heart disease, obesity, and cancer, among New Yorkers.

Detailing “Action Kits” –clinical tools, provider resources, and patient education materials to promote evidence–based best practices – are distributed during visits.Modeled after the pharmaceutical sales approach, the Public Health Detailing Program builds on DOHMH’s extensive experience in medical provider education, healthcare quality improvement, and community-based health promotion.
