Wyckoff in the Community

Wyckoff in the Community

In January 2017, Wyckoff formed the Division of Community and Population Health to further Wyckoff’s mission to provide quality care with kindness and respect.

Objectives

  • Promote and increase public awareness of Wyckoff Heights Medical Center and the services we provide to the community.
  • Engage the community to identify and prioritize needs and develop and implement services that will help people achieve and sustain good health.
  • Work across multiple departments and community sectors to improve health and health equity, and to address environmental, cultural, and social determinants of health specific to the neighborhoods we serve.
  • Operate innovative special projects to address population-specific needs, such as those of our elders, children and families, persons with different abilities, and persons living with chronic conditions.
  • Collaborate with community members, community-based organizations, and safety net services, to implement Wyckoff’s Community Service Plan.
  • Engage in public policy and government relations work to advocate for community needs and priorities.
