Apply Now for the 2025 CUNY Public Health Innovation Accelerator: The Nation’s Leading Program Scaling High-Impact Health Ventures at Top-Ranked Public Graduate School of Public Health (Deadline: April 11)

The U.S. faces an unprecedented convergence of public health crises — a human tragedy weakening the foundations of our nation (@NIH , 2023).

The toll is personal and pervasive:

— Every 11 minutes, an American dies by suicide — rates among the highest since the Great Depression (@CDCgov , 2024, Suicide Data and Statistics).
— Every six minutes, a life is lost to a drug overdose in the U.S., reaching unprecedented crisis levels, devastating countless families and communities (@CDCgov , 2024, Drug Overdose Deaths).
— 40% of kids face chronic illness — the highest prevalence ever recorded, pressuring families, schools, and healthcare systems (@CDCgov , 2023, Childhood Chronic Conditions).
— Pregnant women die from preventable complications at unmatched rates among developed nations (@CDCgov , 2024, Maternal Mortality Rates).
— Cancer rates among young adults are rising at an alarming pace — posing one of the fastest-growing health threats of our time (@MSKCancerCenter, 2024; @AmericanCancer , 2024).

Fight back with Firefly Innovations.
