Mission
STATEN ISLAND PARTNERSHIP FOR COMMUNITY WELLNESS (SIPCW) SEEKS TO CREATE A HEALTHIER STATEN ISLAND BY BRINGING TOGETHER PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO ADDRESS PRESSING WELLNESS NEEDS AND GIVE ALL STATEN ISLANDERS A CHANCE TO LIVE THEIR BEST LIVES. THE FOCUS OF OUR EFFORTS IS IN COMMUNITIES AND POPULATIONS WITH THE GREATEST HEALTH INEQUITIES SUCH AS BIPOC AND LGBTQ+ IDENTIFYING. FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES, SIPCW HAS ADDRESSED CRITICAL ISSUES SUCH AS CHRONIC DISEASE PREVENTION, MENTAL HEALTH, AND SUBSTANCE USE.

SIPCW PROVIDES BACKBONE SUPPORT TO SEVERAL PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES FOCUSING ON
