HealthyNYC: New York City's Campaign for Healthier, Longer Lives
HealthyNYC is the Cityâs vision for improving life expectancy and creating a healthier city for all. We can ensure all New Yorkers are able to realize their full health potential, regardless of who they are, where they are from and where they live.
Life expectancy â the average number of years a person can expect to live from the time of their birth â dropped dramatically, from 82.6 years in 2019 to 78 years in 2020. This represented the biggest and fastest drop in lifespan in a century.
