Morano asks about coordination with DOHMH and Health + Hospitals. Nicole describes connections to Pride Health Centers in each borough except Staten Island, providing local LGBTQ+ affirming healthcare access for veterans.

Yesenia Mata

Since you guys alluded to health and hospitals a minute ago, does DVS coordinate with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene or health and hospitals to connect LGBTQ plus veterans with health care services?

Yesenia Mata

Assuming the answer to that is yes.

Yesenia Mata

What does that collaboration actually look like?

Nicole

Yeah, so we are working very closely with both health and hospitals and Department of Health on this issue, as there are pride health centers in each of the boroughs except Staten Island, where we are connecting our veteran community over to in a more local, in a local way.
