Weekly meetings will assess the effectiveness of the overall effort and identify areas requiring greater focus and attention. It is estimated that there are currently 900,000 low-income New Yorkers, one quarter of who are children, who are eligible for health care programs but have not enrolled in them. The initiative will focus on enrollment in Child Health Plus and Medicaid. Hundreds of locations throughout the city have been identified where people will be able to obtain information on health coverage. All sites are open form 9-5, Monday through Friday.
Extended hours are available at select sites.
