NYSHealth 10-Year Anniversary Event

2016 marks the 10-year anniversary of the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth), and we are excited to commemorate this occasion with our Board, grantees, staff, and other partners. Since we began operations in 2006, we have awarded more than $117 million to more than 400 grantee organizations in our mission to improve the health of all New Yorkers, especially the most vulnerable.

We will host an afternoon event with reflections on our past 10 years of grantmaking, as well as a look ahead to the future of our two priority areas: building healthy communities and empowering health care consumers. At the event, we will also honor the recipients of our Luminary and Emerging Innovator Awards. The awards recognize influential organizations and leaders working to improve health in New York State. A cocktail reception will follow the afternoon session.
