NYC Care, the city s health-access program for the uninsured, has reached a milestone of 50,000 enrollees, it announced Tuesday.
The pandemic has accelerated membership, and the program has learned that its members have a higher prevalence of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension, than the general public, said Marielle Kress, executive director. Many of these patients are receiving care for their chronic illness for the first time through NYC Care, Kress said.
