NYSDOH Prevention Agenda 2025-2030

The Prevention Agenda is New York's State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) and serves as a framework for coordinated state and local action to improve the health for all people in New York and reduce health disparities with a strong emphasis on prevention.

The development of the 2025–2030 Prevention Agenda priorities were shaped through a collaborative process that emphasized stakeholder engagement, data-driven decision-making, and alignment with health equity principles to ensure the Prevention Agenda reflects the needs of communities across New York State. A cross-disciplinary team was engaged to develop a shared vision for the Prevention Agenda and inform the selection of health and health-related priorities.

The New York State Department of Health in collaboration with the Public Health and Health Planning Council, and local partners, recognizes the importance of fostering cross-sector collaborations to achieve collective impact in addressing the priorities outlined in the Prevention Agenda.

The 2025–2030 Prevention Agenda shifts its focus from overall health outcomes to reducing health disparities and advancing health equity, allowing more proactive focus on preventative actions that address root causes of injury and illness. This shift is also aligned with the New York State Department of Health's vision and its commitment to ensure that every individual can attain their highest level of health across the lifespan.

The 2025-2030 Prevention Agenda is designed to be used by health departments, hospital systems, and other organizations at the state and local levels. It prioritizes evidence-informed interventions that consider potential impacts on disparities and inequities by racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, geographic, and other characteristics. Its success depends on strong, sustained partnerships and innovative use of available resources.
