February 23, 2024 News Headlines

We’re telling legislators to stabilize New York’s hospitals and nursing homes and protect New Yorkers’ access to care. Our new fact sheets explain why the final SFY 2024-2025 budget must: 

• Close the Medicaid gap.
• Reject Medicaid cuts.
• Provide low- and no-cost relief.

Use these to support your advocacy efforts and register now to make your voice heard at our March 6 Healthcare Advocacy Day.

With support from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, HANYS is offering our member nursing homes the opportunity to apply for a stipend of up to $26,000 to help cover the costs of recruiting, onboarding, certifying and training five new certified nursing assistants. In addition to HANYS member 501(c)(3) nursing homes, public nursing homes in HANYS membership that can demonstrate strong charitable work are also eligible to apply. Don’t wait — applications close Feb. 29!

This week’s update includes several proposed regulations including Statewide Health Information Network for New York, network adequacy access and standards and general hospital emergency services behavioral health. Stay up to date on recent regulatory activities with HANYS’ regulatory chart.

Each 90-minute webinar in Vital Skills for Effective Leadership focuses on a different skill needed to be an effective leader, offering strategies and techniques for developing those skills. Register for the topic that interests you most or sign up for both remaining sessions!
