NYC Health + Hospitals’ NYC Care program partnered with the NYC Mayor’s Public Engagement Unit’s GetCoveredNYC team on a city-wide “Immigrant Health Care Day of Action.” The outreach effort mobilized dozens of agency staff, community-based organization partners, and volunteers who participated in canvassing, tabling, and posting social media messaging to get the word out. NYC Care Executive Director Dr. Jonathan Jimenez and the NYC Mayor’s Public Engagement Unit Executive Director Adrienne Lever helped to kick off the day of action that morning by joining a health fair organized NYC Care partner Mixteca. Mixteca and NYC Care partner South Asian Council for Social Services (SACSS) celebrated their organizations’ 25-year anniversaries by launching health fairs and organizing their staff to join the outreach effort. As the day went on, organizers and volunteers canvassed in neighborhoods with the highest concentration of NYC Care-eligible immigrant New Yorkers to speak about the importance of health care access and primary care. The city-wide mobilization served to remind all New Yorkers that health care is available regardless of one’s immigration status or ability to pay.
