Public Health Connect to Care

Do you have specific Neighborhood(s) in mind?

Staten Island

Which group(s) does your idea focus on? Select as many as apply.

Immigrants/ Migrants

Describe the challenge you want to address:

Immigrants who don't have public health insurance or don't qualify for it do not get connected to preventative and ongoing medical care on Staten Island. People get sick and others get diagnosed with serious medical conditions (like cancer) at a late stage

What is the solution to the challenge?

We need a public health connection campaign that will explain how to get connected to health and Hospitals services, NYC Cares, and directed or transported to Gotham Vanderbilt or Coney Island depending on medical need.
