(Oklahoma City, OK)- The City Health Dashboard, a project of the Department of Population Health at NYU Langone Health, is spotlighting the Greater Oklahoma City region’s innovative data-based approach to advancing health and well-being in local communities.

Oklahoma City is one of the 500 cities on the City Health Dashboard, an online resource, created by the Department of Population Health at NYU Langone Health, of city and neighborhood-level data for over 35 measures of health and the factors that shape health in U.S. cities with populations of 66,000 or above.

“It is an honor to be featured as a City Spotlight by the City Health Dashboard,” said Gary Cox, executive director of the Oklahoma City County Health Department (OCCHD). “We are truly excited about the collaborative efforts and ongoing work that we’re accomplishing in Oklahoma City toward improving health outcomes and data has been crucial in helping us direct our efforts,” he continued.
