NYC ranks #1 for quality of life policies, according to CityHealth analysis
CityHealth on Wednesday released its first official ratings of city government policies that affect their residents’ health, and New York ranked first among the nation’s 40 largest cities. CityHealth, a nonprofit advisory organization, awarded gold, silver and bronze medals to the cities on the basis of nine categories of health-oriented public policies. New York City earned eight gold medals (one for overall performance), which is two more than Boston, Los Angeles and Washington—the country’s next best for how well the policies keep citizens healthy.
