CM Cabán on LGBTQ senior services and outreach

New York City Council · Jun 5, 2026 · starts 1:30:28 · 1 min 2 sec

Cabán asks about LGBTQ senior services. Martin says H&H clinics serve all ages and expresses eagerness to partner on targeted interventions for LGBTQ seniors, particularly through SAGE and similar organizations.

Tiffany L. Cabán

And then finally, in my district, organizations like SAGE ensure the health and well-being of LGBTQ seniors.

Tiffany L. Cabán

How does your budget ensure that LGBTQ seniors receive the services they need, including health screenings, vaccinations, and medications?

Tiffany L. Cabán

And how is the department ensuring isolated LGBTQ seniors especially are aware of the services for them?

Dr. Alistair Martin

Yeah, it's a really good question.

Dr. Alistair Martin

I think there's certainly a lot we can do with you on this, and we're looking forward to partnering with you to make sure we get this right.

Dr. Alistair Martin

You know, we have, as I mentioned, at all of our sexual health clinics, you know, we are in a position to help anybody who walks in those doors, whether it's youth or seniors.

Dr. Alistair Martin

But targeted interventions, I think we can do a lot more.

Dr. Alistair Martin

So we're looking forward to working with you on that.

Tiffany L. Cabán

Okay.

Tiffany L. Cabán

Thank you.

Tiffany L. Cabán

Look forward to that, too.

Lynn C. Schulman

All right, thank you, Councilmember.
