This isn’t a punchline, it’s reality. Today, 450,000 New Yorkers were informed that they will soon lose their health coverage. We’re joining HCFANY to call upon the Governor (@governor.ny.gov) + the Legislature to protect health insurance access in the final budget. bit.ly/ProtectHealthCoverage

“New York has spent nearly two decades closing the insurance gap and we must ensure that progress — which greatly benefited Asian American and Pacific Islander New Yorkers — is not lost. Our state must continue to lead the way as we push back against federal cuts to healthcare coverage.”

Anita Gundanna and Vanessa Leung, CACF Co-Executive Directors

As #NationalPublicHealthWeek comes to a close, discover how the @council.nyc.gov-funded Access Health NYC initiative is partnering with NYC hospitals to deliver culturally and linguistically accessible care. Read our latest brief here: www.cacf.org/resources/br... #PublicHealth #LanguageAccess

3 ways Access Health NYC Bridges Language Access Gaps

Our awardees partner with hospitals to provide holistic, culturally informed care
Culturally responsive and linguistically competent community liaisons help hospitals build trust and provide tailored health education and outreach.

Access Health NYC enables awardees to create culturally accessible preventative health programs
Partnering with an Access Health NYC awardee enables hospitals to create preventative programs that not only address common conditions like chronic heart disease or diabetes in the languages patients speak and understand, but also build providers' cultural knowledge of their patient population.

Access Health NYC awardees are there to assist community members with health care enrollment
Community health workers from our awardee organizations play a key role in signing up immigrant and limited English proficient community members in crucial health care programs.
