WAYS TO IMPROVE URBAN HEALTH

keep on the offensive
the activist commissioner

A Q&A with New York City’s tough-talking health commissioner, Thomas Frieden.

Since Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg named him commissioner of New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in January 2002, Thomas Frieden has pursued an unapologetically aggressive public health agenda. He’s targeted tobacco via workplace smoking laws that are a model for the rest of the country, and, with a budget of $1.6 billion, he leads an urban health department that plays a commanding role on the global stage. “He is a very activist commissioner who has a big, ambitious vision for what a city health department can do,” says Dean Emeritus Alfred Sommer, MD, MHS ’73.
