Each year, the NYS legislature hosts joint public hearings to discuss the proposed Executive budget. New this year was a joint hearing on workforce-related issues, to which NYACP took part.
NYACP submitted written testimony urging the Legislature to support the physician workforce programs, such as Doctors Across New York, as in the past.
In addition, we urged for a continued focus on new models to encourage and further build capacity in the primary care physician workforce to ensure access to health care for all residents.
