CityHealth’s 2022 Annual City Assessment
2022 marks a new chapter for CityHealth. Following the remarkable city achievements over the initiative’s first five years, CityHealth has expanded the number of cities it works with and has raised the bar with a revised policy package and enhanced criteria. Today, CityHealth is proud to partner with America’s 75 largest cities to adopt 12 upstream, prevention-oriented policies that can improve people’s access to healthy choices and address critical health disparities in their communities.
This year, in CityHealth’s first assessment of the new policy package, 49% of America’s 75 largest cities earned an overall medal.
