Celebrating 10 Years of Healthier Cities

When it comes to your health, it matters where you live. In 2026, CityHealth is celebrating 10 years of partnering with local leaders and cities to advance health policy to help people live longer, healthier lives.

The evidence is clear: policy is one of the most important tools local governments can use to improve their residents’ lives. Over the past 10 years, CityHealth has offered a roadmap for cities across the country to help them thrive. 

Throughout 2026, the initiative will reflect on the impact of the past 10 years and look forward to the promise and progress of what the future of city leadership holds.
