Sign-On Letter: Hospital Transparency

The NYCLU, along with several health care organizations and patient advocates wrote a letter urging Speaker Heastie to co-sponsor and pass A.733-A. This bill will offer prospective patients the tools they need to determine whether the hospital in their area provides the care they seek prior to admission. In addition, it will give New York the tools to identify regions in the state where particular types of care are unavailable and to understand the impacts of such gaps on communities and individuals statewide.
