The New York City Health And Hospitals does not have a designated budget for distributing masks to the public; responsibilities fall to DCAS and DOHMH during emergencies.

  • There is no specific distribute Fusion Program within New York City Health And Hospitals.
  • Distribution efforts in crisis situations are led by DCAS and DOHMH, with Health And Hospitals contributing when needed.
  • Mask distribution is not part of their regular operational responsibilities.
  • In emergencies, such as bad air quality, Health+Hospitals would supply masks from their resources.
