The New York Alliance for Careers in Healthcare (NYACH) is a public-private industry partnership formed to address system-level challenges facing the local healthcare economy. Formed in 2011 as a collaboration between the NYC Workforce Funders and the NYC Department of Small Business Services, NYACH works with employers and other stakeholders in the healthcare industry to understand the future of the sector, translates that understanding for the workforce development ecosystem, and galvanizes coordinated action to prepare New York City for the healthcare economy of tomorrow.

There are an estimated 750,000 healthcare workers in New York City and the sector represents about 20% of the local economy.

Healthcare employment has grown steadily in New York City since 2000, and that growth—at least before the COVID-19 pandemic—was faster than employment growth in all other sectors and decoupled from economic downturns. In the midst of ongoing change, NYACH works to ensure that the workforce development ecosystem is brought along and in lockstep with new industry needs.

NYACH is committed to creating efficient pathways for advancement that help hard-working New Yorkers get into good-paying jobs at scale, and to ensuring that all healthcare jobs—regardless of wage or required training—are nevertheless good jobs that are structured in ways that do not reinforce pre-existing systemic inequities. All healthcare occupations are essential to our healthcare delivery system and we need to ensure that all workers can find fulfillment and earn a living wage.
