Atria Public Health
How health care can and should be for all.
Medical breakthroughs have the power to transform lives—but they rarely reach everyone equally. Our vision is bold but simple: a world where every human has the opportunity to live a long and healthy life.
Our 501(c)(3) works to address medical inequity through strategic partnerships that close critical gaps in care. We support proven interventions that combine health care access with health education to save and improve lives in communities where modern medicine remains out of reach. Through collaboration with local and global health organizations, we implement evidence-based programs that prevent chronic disease, strengthen health systems, and extend healthy life for all.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between innovation and access, bringing advances in science to those who need them most.
We proudly support:
The Institute for Family Health
The Institute for Family Health operates a network of 29 free public health clinics across New York State and two clinics in shelters for the homeless, providing high-quality primary care to more than 150,000 people annually.
Resolve to Save Lives
Resolve to Save Lives is a nonprofit organization committed to eradicating preventable deaths from pandemics and hypertension through scalable and community-based solutions. Founded by former Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Tom Frieden, Resolve’s cardiovascular health interventions could save 100 million lives globally by 2050.
Hypertension Prevention Program
From the Mount Sinai heart group, the Hypertension Prevention Program aims to prevent and reduce the incidence of heart disease among New York City firefighters and first responders, who face a 12-fold increase in the risk of death from acute coronary events due to inadequate treatment and blood pressure management.
RESTORE Health Equity Research Network
The RESTORE Health Equity Research Network is focused on reducing racial inequalities in cardiovascular disease outcomes by translating evidence-based hypertension prevention into community settings. The collaboration between eight universities advances research and implements its findings in Black communities across the country.
Community-to-Clinic Linkage Implementation Program
Through collaboration with the American Heart Association, funding has allowed for the expansion of NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Community-to-Clinic Linkage Implementation Program (CLIP). CLIP aims to implement community-clinical linkages via blood pressure screenings across barbershops and other community organizations on Staten Island. In addition to screening Staten Island residents for hypertension, the project provides educational materials and connects them with community health resources.
The Periodic Table of Food Initiative
The Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI) is a science-to-action effort providing standardized tools, data, and training to a global ecosystem to map the quality of the world's food supply. Our global ecosystem maps food quality based on diverse components, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and specialized metabolites, as well as their variation across food systems. PTFI’s project with Atria seeks to strengthen our knowledge about the intersection of food composition and heart health as a critical metric of cardiovascular disease and risk. The PTFI is an entity of RFCC of The Rockefeller Foundation that is collectively managed by the American Heart Association and the Alliance of Bioversity CIAT.
