New Services Help Close the Healthcare Gap
Make the Road by Walking is excited to announce the expansion of our Healthcare Advocacy Services. As a new lead agency with the Department of Healthís Facilitated Enrollment Program, Make the Roadís Health Team is equipped to help complete and submit applications for people eligible for Medicaid and other government health insurance programs for children and adults, as well as guide and support applicants throughout the process. Says new health advocate Josefina Davila, ìWe are here to ensure that all uninsured, eligible community members have access to affordable health care programs.î If you or your organization would like to find out more about our healthcare advocacy services or host an event at your site, please contact Sara Cullinane at (718) 418-7690 ext. 238 or sara@maketheroad.org.
