Mayor Eric Adams joined the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) on Wednesday, November 1st to present a brand new city campaign to increase the life expectancy of New Yorkers after lifespans had dramatically decreased between 2019 and 2021.

Titled ‘HealthyNYC,’ the campaign sets out to increase life expectancy to 83 years by 2030. To do so, the campaign will target chronic and diet-related diseases, screenable cancers, overdose, suicide, maternal mortality, violence, and COVID-19. These are all major drivers of premature deaths.

“It’s time we give New York City extra life with the launch of ‘HealthyNYC,’ our campaign to help New Yorkers lead healthier, longer lives,” said Mayor Adams. “Our administration is setting out to increase New Yorkers’ life expectancy to over 83 years by 2030 — not only recovering years lost during the pandemic but also surpassing our previous high by tackling chronic disease, violence, maternal mortality, overdose, and more. By refocusing all of our public health work around the goal of helping people live longer lives, we’ll build a healthier, more prosperous city where everyone can thrive.”

Life expectancy dropped to 78 years between 2019 to 2020. Though majority of this decrease can be attributed to the COVID-19 virus, other drivers included overdoses, gun violence and chronic diseases.

‘HealthyNYC’ aims to:

• Reduce cardiovascular disease and diabetes by 5 percent by 2030
• Reduce screenable cancers — including lung, breast, colon, cervical, and prostate cancers — by 20 percent by 2030
• Reduce overdose deaths by 25 percent by 2030
• Reduce suicide deaths by 10 percent by 2030
• Reduce homicide deaths by 30 percent by 2030
• Reduce pregnancy-associated mortality among Black women by 10 percent by 2030
• Reduce annual COVID-19 deaths by 60 percent by 2030

To specifically tackle these goals, the city will increase access to naloxone, quality health care for new families, and healthy food, in addition to expanding access to culturally responsive mental health care and social support services.

“‘HealthyNYC’ is a game changer because in the wake of COVID-19, and while facing parallel and growing health crises, we know that, as a city and a nation, people are getting sicker and dying sooner than they should,” said DOHMH Commissioner Dr. Vasan. “Losing years of life and of good health is a unifying challenge, and getting them back is a top priority for New York City, as well as a north star for the future of public health.”

Magnolia Bakery just might be New York City’s most iconic bakery. From the delicious cupcakes to the infamous banana pudding, Magnolia has been serving the city top-notch baked goods since it opened right in the West Village in 1996 at 401 Bleecker Street.

Since then, Magnolia has built a name for itself and opened several new locations across the globe… locations that can now look forward to treats we don’t have access to!

In partnership with incredibles, an award-winning cannabis edibles brand from Green Thumb Industries Inc., New York City’s world-famous bakeshop is jumping into a brand new venture — THC edibles!

Starting today, fans can shop the collaboration featuring two limited-edition THC-infused chocolate bars at RISE Dispensaries in Illinois, Nevada, and Massachusetts, with broader availability across the three states to follow.

Magnolia Bakery’s first venture into cannabis through this collaboration celebrates the brand’s most iconic, fan-favorite flavors in a new light, with chocolate bars inspired by its signature banana pudding and red velvet cupcakes.

In partnership with Magnolia Bakery, incredibles has created two THC-infused chocolate bars:

• Swirled Famous Banana Pudding Bar: a swirl of creamy vanilla pudding, crunchy vanilla cookies, and freeze-dried bananas containing 10mg THC per piece and 100mg THC per bar.
• Red Velvet Piece Ahhh Cake 1:1 Bar: flavors of moist crimson cake, cream cheese tang, and rich dark chocolate, containing 10mg THC and 10mg CBD per piece and 100mg THC and 100mg CBD per bar.

“There are few bakeries as recognized as Magnolia Bakery, with their world-renowned treats that customers flock to,” said Dominic O’Brien, Senior Vice President of Revenue at Green Thumb. “And in cannabis, there is nothing like incredibles, the number one best-selling chocolate edibles brand across all our existing markets. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Magnolia Bakery on this collaboration, crossing their classic flavors with our commitment to deliver an ‘effect you can expect’ that incredibles is famous for.”

“With their national reach and proven track record of consistent, quality products, incredibles is a perfect partner as Magnolia Bakery expands into the realm of cannabis edibles,” said Sara Gramling, Vice President of PR and Partnerships at Magnolia Bakery. “Magnolia Bakery is dedicated to crafting delicious desserts for visitors of all tastes and preferences and can now share our signature flavors with cannabis consumers in three markets. We hope that fans enjoy this all-new way to get baked with Magnolia Bakery.”

These treats will only be around for a limited time, so if you’re planning a quick fall getaway, try to squeeze in a visit to one of RISE Dispensaries locations!
