ISUH was founded in 2002 at The New York Academy of Medicine as an organization dedicated to building and growing the field of urban health through its programs and annual conference, the International Conference on Urban Health (ICUH).

Our mission is to achieve a healthier, more equitable urban future for all people, in all communities, worldwide.
