Central Brooklyn needs investments in health equity- NOT a plan to close SUNY-Downstate and reduce access to care where we need it most. #BrooklynNeedsDownstate!

NY’s Medicaid program reimburses doctors 30% less than the actual cost of their care, multiple hospitals across the state have struggled financially, with some even announcing closures. Who end’s up getting hurt, hospitals in communities of color #medicaidequity

Solidarity with NYC Health + Hospitals resident physicians! It's time for fair contracts that reflect the dedication and skill you bring to our healthcare system. Your fight for equity is a fight for all in healthcare.
