Help Your Employees Get Health Care with NYC Care


In NYC, every New Yorker has the right to access to primary, preventive, and specialty health care regardless of immigration status and ability to pay. While all New Yorkers have been affected by COVID-19, the impact has been greater on New Yorkers who are not eligible for or who cannot afford health insurance. NYC Care, a health care access program that guarantees health care services at little or no cost to New Yorkers who do not qualify for or cannot afford health insurance, will continue to bridge these gaps and make New Yorkers healthier.  

Employers are a key partner in helping employees stay healthy and safe. To ensure all employees get affordable health care, please talk to your employees about NYC Care. To get the conversation started, you can use this toolkit and visit nyccare.nyc
