The city is getting the word to them at city schools. A mobile van is making the rounds at schools, informing parents about their options for free health care. The people on board are fluent in several languages to reach out to the many people who don't know about their options or how to apply. Officials feel some immigrant families are especially uncertain about applying, because of fears about someone asking questions about their immigration status. But the mayor points out the form that parents fill out asks nothing about immigration status.
More information is available through city schools, and on the City of New York Web Site .
