At NYC Health + Hospitals, we know this may be a challenging time for many of you. Our hospitals, nursing homes, and community health centers are still open to you, regardless of your background, immigration status, gender identity, or ability to pay.
Our mission is the same as it has always been: providing the highest quality health care services to all New Yorkers with compassion, dignity and respect. Please continue to get the care you need before you have a serious illness or emergency.
It’s important to remember that NYC Health + Hospitals: Does not require you to share information about your immigration status to receive health care. Cannot give your information to anyone else without authorization by you, the patient, or without being required or specifically authorized to do so by law.
When you visit our facilities, our staff will help you get the insurance you need. If you can’t access insurance, they can connect you to the NYC Care program so you have your own doctor for no or low-cost.
We will do all that we can to ensure that you can continue to get the care you and your family need. Our doctors, nurses, social workers, and entire team are here to serve you.
Many of them are the sons and daughters of immigrants and live in the communities we serve. All of them are committed to our mission of care for all without fear. We care about you.
It’s a complex world out there, but at NYC Health + Hospitals, we’re staying focused on serving you, our patient. Thanks to the tireless dedication of our staff, partners, and advocates, we will continue to support you and your health care needs.
