The Fund for Public Health in New York City (FPHNYC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to the advancement of the health and well-being of all New Yorkers. To this end, in partnership with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), FPHNYC incubates innovative public health initiatives implemented by DOHMH to advance community health throughout the city. It facilitates partnerships, often new and unconventional, between government and the private sector to develop, test, and launch new initiatives. These collaborations speed the execution of demonstration projects, effect expansion of successful pilot programs, and support rapid implementation to meet the public health needs of individuals, families, and communities across New York City. Our Culture: We embrace a culture of learning, collaboration, innovation, and well-being, where open communication drives our impact.
The Sexual and Reproductive Health and Equity Unit offers a unique opportunity for a public health professional to engage in a range of impactful initiatives aimed at improving reproductive health outcomes across New York City. This role involves contributing to multiple projects that advance access, education, and equity. You will play a key role in the Quality Improvement Network for Care Access, helping to shape how the New York City Department of Health identifies and addresses barriers to infertility, and improves support for individuals and families in low-income neighborhoods navigating challenges with conception. About the Program: The Quality Improvement Network for Care Access (QINCA-2) is a reproductive health program under the Sexual and Reproductive Health Unit (SRHU), part of the Bureau of Maternal, Infant and Reproductive Health (BMIRH) in the Division of Family and Child Health within the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), that is focused on the needs of New Yorkers in marginalized communities who wish to create a family and have experienced difficulties in conception. Despite a need for fertility services, this care is inaccessible to many due to cost, and individuals who lack the financial means to obtain private fertility care in NYC are left with minimal recourse as private fertility providers or networks often do not accept Medicaid, and those fortunate enough to have private health insurance receive minimal coverage for infertility concerns. Through QINCA, NYCDOHMH aims to review the literature and convene experts in the field of fertility and conception to build clinical capacity, strengthen provider confidence, and improve patient outcomes.
