Welcome!
The CUNY Urban Health Collaborative (UHC) was created in Spring 2000 in order to strengthen teaching, research and practice in urban health within the City University of New York. The growing urbanization of the world’s population, the powerful impact of city living on health, and the CUNY mission of serving New York combined to make urban health a natural focus for our institution. With more than 200,000 students who reflect the diversity of the city and more than 100 health-related academic programs, CUNY brings a wealth of resources to the study of urban health.
