So for the New York City care efforts, in New York I'm sorry.
1:45:12
I'm just not reading this properly.
1:45:13
This year, H and H, shared that the New York City care will support efforts to inform New Yorkers of these new state health insurance options for undocumented immigrants over 65.
1:45:25
So will Maria also be involved in this outreach and what will be New York City Aging's role in the outreach as well?
Miguel Santana
1:45:35
Yes.
1:45:36
More will be involved in the outreach.
Alexa Avilés
1:45:43
Yeah.
1:45:44
Can you can you tell us to what extent the the outreach will look like for this for this effort as well?
Miosotis Muñoz

In fact, I have in my bag some New City Care Material.
1:45:56
We just carry it in our trash.
1:45:58
And our bags everywhere we go.
1:46:01
We understand how critical it is for us to be able to make healthcare accessible and how much we need to be doing.
1:46:10
And it's it's never gonna be enough.
1:46:12
This is why, like I said, we we we make sure that with every single one of our Outreach.
1:46:18
That is part of, like, our 1 pager.
1:46:21
We give out the New York City Care information, and we have it in different languages.
1:46:26
So they can also ask questions to our teams who they feel comfortable with because our teams are in the community, speaking their languages, many of them grew up there.
1:46:37
So this is a relationship that we enjoy, and we will continue to work with.
1:46:43
Right.
Miguel Santana
1:46:43
And and and and also, I mean, NYC Care, they collaborate with us.
1:46:47
They attend a lot of these events and vice versa when we support their events.
1:46:51
So that's the way that engagement looks like.
