Leadership in Health Care Reform

Health Care Reform

Sweeping changes have greatly affected health care in the United States in the past few decades. In recent years the rate of change has increased, particularly with the introduction of the Affordable Care Act

NYC Health + Hospitals has promoted health care reform by keeping people healthy. We are your ally in good health, not just a place to go when illness occurs. Naturally, we treat people who are ill, but we want to partner with all New Yorkers to prevent illness, and we want to build positive health care relationships with people so we can do that, particularly with the following programs:
