Mayor de Blasio, Taskforce on Racial Inclusion Equity co-chairs First Lady Chirlane McCray, Deputy Mayor J. Phillip Thompson, Deputy Mayor Dr. Raul Perea-Henze, and Executive Director Grace Bonilla announced immediate action to expand access to primary healthcare providers through NYC Care.
By expanding NYC Care, we are tackling these inequities head-on, and bringing affordable healthcare and mental health resources to the communities that need them the most.”
The Taskforce on Racial Inclusion Equity brings an equity-based approach to COVID-19 response and recovery efforts in the city’s hardest-hit communities.
We hear our communities loud and clear, we need to do better to make sure that systems that are meant to serve New Yorkers are responsive today and always with the dignity and respect New Yorkers deserve,” said Grace Bonilla, HRA Administrator and Executive Director of the Taskforce on Racial Inclusion and Equity.
By September, every New Yorker in the hardest-hit communities will have access to guaranteed health care through the expansion of NYC Care to Queens and Manhattan.
