Once the epicenter of the COVID-19 crisis, New York City now has a chance to lead the country in a post-pandemic world — if the world ever gets there.

The mayor’s office is launching the NYC Public Health Corps in order to promote health equity beyond the pandemic for the communities that were most affected by the virus. 

According to Mayor Bill de Blasio, this will be a permanent grassroots effort to reach the public and make them aware of the resources they have available to stay well.
