WHO WE ARE

The New York Alliance for Healthcare Justice is a coalition of healthcare workers, faith leaders, community health advocates and patients fighting for all New Yorkers to have access to affordable, quality care.

HEALTHCARE WORKERS

Caregivers in hospitals and nursing homes across New York advocate fiercely for Medicaid Equity, demanding an end to healthcare disparities through actions and rallies throughout the state.

FAITH LEADERS

Medicaid Equity is a moral and racial justice issue. An interfaith coalition of over 650 ministers, priests, rabbis, imams and faith leaders join together to fight for their communities.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

Over 100 patient groups and community health advocates, representing hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers across the state, demand that our leaders address the healthcare crisis and support quality care in hospitals and nursing homes.

LEGISLATORS

A majority of Democratic legislators in the New York Senate and Assembly support fully funding Medicaid. New York has avoided harmful cuts and made significant new investments in reimbursement rates and safety net hospitals.

The New York Alliance for Healthcare Justice is an initiative of the Healthcare Education Project (HEP), a joint effort of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East and the Greater New York Hospital Association. HEP is a community-based advocacy organization whose mission is to protect and expand access to quality, affordable healthcare through education, advocacy and coalition building.
