Programs & Initiatives
Developing our future leaders with programming that emphasizes the role structural inequities play in our health
Health Equity Events & Website
The Dalio Center has created a wide variety of content to help educate our staff and our community about health disparities and the role structural inequities play in our health.
Our public facing website was launched in 2021 and includes videos about health justice, as well as about the social determinants of health. The social determinants of health section of our website includes educational videos developed by the Dalio Center, New York City-specific data about social determinants, recommended reading, and resources for patients that need social support.
Dr. Iyasere has also participated in over 40 events including:
- Eight Grand Rounds presentations at Weill Cornell Medicine, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Montefiore Medical Center
- A podcast with The Beryl Institute discussing systemic racism and the creation of the Dalio Center
- A presentation on Health Equity and the Social Determinants of Health at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
- Healthy Churches Conference: Panel on the Importance of Clinical Trial Diversity

Responding to Epidemics and Crises in Health (REACH) Fellowship
The Dalio Center, in collaboration with ICAP at Columbia University, the global center at Mailman School of Public Health, has launched the REACH Fellowship. This innovative, one-year program provides a select group of NYP staff across a variety of disciplines an opportunity to learn how to predict, manage, and lead robust responses to complex health emergencies, including emerging infectious diseases and other health crises.
Leadership Education and Development (LEAD)
The LEAD program at NYP was launched in July 2017, in partnership with Columbia's Business School and the Department of Health Policy & Management (HPM) at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health. LEAD delivers strategic management and health policy training to rising-star physicians in the NYP health system. Following the launch of the Dalio Center for Health Justice, the LEAD curriculum and programs were re-evaluated and revised to incorporate programming that emphasizes the role structural inequities play in our health.
