New York needs additional health care workers

If you are a qualified health, mental health or public health care worker or related professional who is not currently working in the field, the state is looking to expand New York’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To support the response effort, answer a survey about your qualifications, and then the state will work to resolve licensing issues necessary. So far, 62,000 professionals have volunteered and more are needed. Get details here.

 

New open enrollment period set up

To ensure people have access to medical care and/or testing for COVID-19, New York has set up a special health insurance open enrollment period through April 15. People can enroll on NY State of Health, its official health plan marketplace, or directly through insurers. Learn more here, or call 855-355-5777. COVID-19 testing is free for all eligible New Yorkers as ordered by a health care provider.

Common Ground staff is working remotely

In response to COVID-19, Common Ground employees are working remotely. Because our physical office is closed, meetings will take place online. We look forward to staying in touch with you electronically and wish you, your families and your organizations the best in this time of social distancing. 

 

Event updates announced

Due to measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Speak Life! Health Equity Conference presented by the African American and Latino Health Coalitions will be canceled for 2020, but the coalitions plan to continue the event in 2021. Refunds will be made to registrants. Sponsors will have the option to maintain their sponsorship for the 2021 event or seek a refund. Email Olivia Linden for details.

The March 27 lunch and learn webinar to celebrate the region’s improvement in high blood pressure was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Registrations for the postponed webinar will be honored and an email will be sent once a new date has been scheduled. Contact Thea Talcott with questions and concerns.

 

Partner spotlight:
The City of Rochester

Congratulations to the City of Rochester for being a 2020 All-America City finalist! This year's award from the National Civic League will recognize civic engagement that enhances health and well-being for all, particularly for those facing poorer health outcomes. Rochester's work around high blood pressure control was one of the collaborations highlighted in the application.

“When faced with adversity, our area has always shown that it prioritizes health and well-being for all. We are buoyed by this recognition,” said Wade Norwood, CEO of Common Ground Health.
