Fewer Smokers, More New Yorkers Getting Tested for HIV, and Increases in Physical Activity Pave Way for a Healthier City

More City residents are heeding the call to “take care” as outlined in Take Care New York (TCNY) 2012: A Policy for a Healthier New York City. Launched in 2009, TCNY 2012 set measurable four-year goals for improvements in the health of all City residents.
