Rural healthcare in NY-21 is under threat: hospitals are closing, travel times for care are long, and mental health services are fragmented. I will expand rural healthcare funding, bring mobile clinics and telehealth to underserved areas, and fully fund community-based mental health services. By integrating housing, treatment, and crisis response, we can ensure that everyone has access to the care they need when they need it.
