Health Promotion

Community members and CUIMC staff gather outdoors for a health education event, with attendees seated and listening to presenters in front of the Neurological Institute of New York.

As part of the medical center’s commitment to improving health and well-being, the office leads initiatives in health promotion, education, and service learning. By integrating education with hands-on service, our health promotion projects give students the opportunity to apply academic knowledge in real-world settings while addressing community needs.

The OACP collaborates with the community, faculty, and local stakeholders to strengthen and enhance community well-being through education, training, and engagement initiatives. Our faculty also hosts educational talk series, provides training in lifesaving skills, and offers health information and resources—empowering our neighbors to make informed decisions for healthier lives.
