Legislative Action Alert

Please read the alert below and do your part to help us resolve our diagnosis issue! The goal of this brief phone campaign is to get the diagnosis clarification language into the state budget. If we are successful and the budget is passed with the language, the diagnosis issue will be resolved in a matter of weeks instead of what could be many months!! Contact us at: NYMHCA@optonline.net with questions or comments.
