GNYHA has joined the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and a coalition of New York-based health care providers, consumer advocates, business and labor organizations, faith-based groups, and public officials in sponsoring Cover the Uninsured Week in New York, from March 10 to March 17. The week's events are designed to catalyze a national dialogue on the plight of America's 41 million uninsured citizens. Co-chaired by former Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, the events will highlight the goal of improving the health care system and ensuring access for all. Speakers will include Senator Hillary Clinton, Representatives Anthony Weiner and Carol Maloney, uninsured individuals, and policymakers. GNYHA President Kenneth Raske and other health care leaders will sign a proclamation declaring the urgency of the uninsured situation. GNYHA has been involved in the planning and execution of all the NYC events. For more information, visit www.covertheuninsuredweek.org/ny, or call (212) 606-3845.
